        Generating EST Libraries: Trans-Spliced cDNAs

        互联网

        Eukaryotes using trans -splicing for transcript processing incorporate a taxon-specific sequence tag (the spliced leader, SL) to a proportion (either all or a fraction) of their mRNAs. This feature may be exploited for the preparation of full-length-enriched cDNA libraries from these organisms (a diverse group including euglenozoa and dinoflagellates, as well as members from five metazoan phyla: Cnidaria, Rotifera, Nematoda, Platyhelminths and Chordata). The strategy has indeed been widely used to construct cDNA libraries for the generation of ESTs, mainly from parasitic euglenozoa and helminths.
        We describe a set of optimised protocols to prepare directional SL-cDNA libraries; the method involves PCR-amplification of SL-cDNA and its subsequent cloning in a plasmid vector under a specific orientation. It uses small amounts of total RNA as starting material and may be applied to a variety of samples. The approach permits the selective cloning of mRNAs tagged with a particular SL from mixtures including large amounts of non-trans -spliced mRNAs. Thus, it allows exclusion of host contamination when isolating SL-cDNAs from parasitic organisms, and has other potential applications, such as the characterisation of the trans -spliced transcriptome from organisms in mixed pools of species.
