1
High resolution melting
2
or HRM is a very sensitive method to detect sequence variation
3
in different samples up to a resolution of a single base pair without the need of sequencing.
4
Here you see a wild type of DNA or a PCR product.
5
After mutation you may get a homozygous mutant in
6
which both the alleles are mutated or a heterozygous mutant in which a single allele is mutated.
7
Now you want to check if mutation is there or not.
8
HRM is based upon the principle of DNA dissociation with increase in temperature followed by detection by a fluorescent dye.
9
The DNA denituration is based on the GC content.
10
Higher the GC content, stronger will be the DNA bonds and higher will be the melting temperature to dissociate the two strands.
11
In HRM, the detection is assisted by specific binding of a saturating fluorescent dye to the double-stranded DNA
12
and measuring its fluorescence in real time on increasing the temperature gradually.
13
For HRM, you need to PCR amplify your target gene locus to obtain a specific amplicon.
14
Smaller the size of amplicon, better the results will be.
15
Then you add a saturating fluorescent dye
16
that binds to the dna only in the double stranded form
17
then you proceed for hrm analysis in a real time machine here you gradually increase the temperature
18
and fluorescence is measured simultaneously the plot shows fluorescence in the y-axis and temperature on the x-axis
19
3 different curves are obtained for wild, homozygous and heterozygous mutant.
20
Here you see as homozygous mutant had a GC mutation as seen in the previous slide its TM is higher.
21
So the curve shifts towards the right.
22
Heterozygous mutant on the other hand have a mutation in only one strand.
23
So it has a base mismatch and hence the TM is reduced and the curve shifts towards the left.
24
method is so sensitive that it detects the variation in the melting temperature up to 0.2 degree Celsius.
25
HRM being a simple, economic, rapid and precise method of DNA variant detection, it can be used for mutant identification,
26
SNP genotyping, DNA methylation by bisulfide sequencing, DNA fingerprinting and so on.

如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片,不要開口,記下不認識的單詞。
- 用正常速度逐句跟讀,每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比,特別注意 mutant, strand, mutation 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
