16 QIAxcel Advanced Application Guide 10/2016 Using this method, we identified and validated known and novel inactivating mutations in 88% of individuals with DBA. Target enrichment combined with high-throughput sequencing is a robust methodology for the genetic detection of DBA and one that shows considerable improvement over existing methods. Figure 2. Analysis of amplified, adapter-ligated libraries. A Lanes 1–8: The adapter-ligated libraries were analyzed using the QIAxcel DNA Screening Kit and method AM320. Lane 9: QX DNA size marker 100 bp – 2.5 kb. B The electropherogram shows a single peak with a median size of 231 bp. The baseline filter is marked with a red line and the threshold with a blue line. As the shortest and longest DNA fragments, the QX Alignment Marker 15 bp/5 kb fragments are visible as sharp peaks at the beginning and the end of the run. Figure 3. Analysis of amplified capture DNA. A Lanes 1–8: The amplified capture DNA was analyzed using the QIAxcel DNA Screening Kit and method AM320. Lane 9: QX DNA size marker 100 bp – 2.5 kb. B The electropherogram shows a single peak with a median size of 237 bp.
