Screening DNA Repeat Tracts of Phase Variable Genes by Fragment Analysis.
Fragment analysis (or fragment length analysis) is a PCR-based method which allows quantification of the size and proportion of a DNA repeat tract length of a phase-variable region. Primers are labeled with a fluorescent dye, the resulting amplicons are processed by capillary electrophoresis, and results are analyzed for amplicon size and proportion by associated software (such as Peakscanner). Here we describe the process of designing primers and controls to screen for the number of repeats in a polymeric tract of a phase-variable gene in Neisseria meningitidis (the DNA methyltransferase ModA is used as an example, but this method can be applied to other phase-variable genes).
