Initial mapping to a chromosomeUsing Bal stocks Labor intensive Time Consuming(over 6 months) Often difficult Sometimes costlyDateFine mapping to a region ofa chromosome using Df stocksSelect candidate genesNextGenerationSequencing?Amplify and sequence genesMutation2

Ethylmethane Sulfonate (EMS)- Common chemical mutagen- Randomly induces single base pair mutations orsmall insertions or deletions- Usually generates G/C to A/T point mutationsDateWild TypeMutant3

1. Obtained genomic DNA: F3 homozygous mutantsand wild-type males.2. Performed the following steps:a) Made two Illumina genomic fragment libraries(1.5 day)b) Hybridized the fragments on to two flowcell –“cluster generation” (2 day)c) Sequenced the flowcells (1-2 weeks)3. Analyzed data to find mutations.DateMay 2008 using an Illumina GAI4

Primary Analysis using Illumina data analysis pipeline.ImagesSequencesAlignment using ELANDUniquely mapping sequencesDate5

1. Aligned each strain individually to reference genomeusing MAQ (LI et al., 2008)2. Generated consensus sequences for both mutant andwild-type.3. Compared the consensus sequences of both mutant andwild type strains to generate a list of polymorphisms.4. Annotated the polymorphisms to find possiblemutations causing phenotype.Date6

HAWKINS et al., 1996, 1997; VANBUSKIRK et al., 2000;OHLMEYER et al., 2003-Plays a role in regulation of cyclin E during oogenesis-Known to have an effect on dorsal appendage formation-Mutation results in the replacement of a glutamine with astop codonDate9

Validation:Complementation crosses with Df stocks resultedin the same “dorsal appendage phenotype”Why is this significant? What does this mean tothe Drosophila community?Date10

Date“Well, if I need to find a mutation right now, I would not usetraditional mapping techniques, I will find the mutations bysequencing the whole genome because it has been done and itworks!”- Dr. Scott Hawley11

Date12

Next generation whole genome sequencingapproach can be used to easily map EMSinduced mutations in organisms. Cost-effective:- Currently (September, 2009), 2*36bp PElanes 20X coverage of the Drosophila or C.elegans genomes. Time efficient:- Opposed to the traditional ways ofmapping, mutation(s) can be discovered in abouta month!Date13
