Assessment and optimization of rolling circle amplification protocols for the detection and characterization of badnaviruses.
Virology(2019)
摘要
The genus Badnavirus is characterized by members that are genetically and serologically heterogeneous which presents challenges for their detection and characterization. The presence of integrated badnavirus-like sequences in some host species further complicates detection using PCR-based protocols. To address these challenges, we have assessed and optimized various RCA protocols including random-primed RCA (RP-RCA), primer-spiked random-primed RCA (primer-spiked RP-RCA), directed RCA (D-RCA) and specific-primed RCA (SP-RCA). Using Dioscorea bacilliform AL virus (DBALV) as an example, we demonstrate that viral DNA amplified using the optimized D-RCA and SP-RCA protocols showed an 85-fold increase in badnavirus NGS reads compared with RP-RCA. The optimized RCA techniques described here were used to detect a range of badnaviruses infecting banana, sugar cane, taro and yam demonstrating the utility of RCA for detection of diverse badnaviruses infecting a variety of host plant species.
