Research Abstract

The ultimate goal of this research is to establish a novel method to isothermally amplify a target DNA from clinical specimen. Following DNA amplification, micro temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) and analysis of DNA pattern were performed using image processing technology to identify mutations. For this purpose, we have carried out the following: 1) Examination of the effects of length and mutational position on the TGGE pattern; 2) Development of a micro TGGE apparatus capable of accommodating 2-5 gels in one electrophoresis cycle; 3) Development of a software to detect inflection points in a TGGE pattern; 4) Alteration of enzymes utilized in an isothermal DNA amplification method, including recombinase polymerase amplification; 5) Construction of networks to obtain clinical specimen in India.
