SuperTag Digital Gene Expression Profiling Quality Quality of digital geneexpressiondatadepends on: 1. Quality ofthe Tag (whatgeneisexpressed?) 2. Quantityofthe Tags (howoftenisthegeneexpressed?)

Tag Quality What gene? SuperTagsallow unequivocal identification of the corresponding gene
Tag Quality Advantages of the SuperTAG 21 bpversus 26 bp 18-20bp (MmeI, LongSAGE) 26 bp (Ecop15I, SuperTAG) Only the 26 bp tag can differentiate between the transcripts !
Problem of PCR-introduced BIAS Certain tags are preferentially amplified during PCR biased quantification The Solution: GenXPro’s bias-proof adapters (patent pending) secure quantification
Downstream applications & Advantages of the SuperTAG 26 bpSuperTAGs can: • directly be used as highly specific primer for PCR 3‘- and 5‘- RACE,RCA, in vitro PCR, qRT-PCR: new genes & non-model organisms can be analyzed. • serve as specific probes: identification of genomic or cDNA clones • be directly spotted on a microarray for HT analysis1 • be used for the simultaneous analysis of two or more organisms (pathogen/host)2 Matsumura et al. (2006) Nature Methods 3:469-474 2. Matsumura et al. (2003) PNAS 100: 15718-15723

Digital Gene Expression vs. Microarrays Major Advantages of SuperTAG-DGE versus Microarrays • No false positives, no cross hybridisation • Open architecture platform: any gene detected, novel genes, unexpected transcripts, antisense transcripts • Reliable quantification of the transcriptome: • counts vs. semi-quantitative light signal intensities • Higher dynamic range: unlimited vs. log2<3 • Rare transcripts are exactly quantified • Simultaneous analysis of more than one organisms: parasite-host
Digital Gene Expression vs. Microarrays SuperTAG-DGE includes rare Transcripts About 80–95% of all mRNA species are present in five or fewer copies per cell. These rare transcripts make up 35–50% of all the mRNAs.
SuperSAGE-Analysis: TranscriptFrequencies Example: 4.455.653 Tags from Mouse Spleen (Mus musculus)* More than 75 % rare transcripts: This information is lost on microarrays ! Only this part is visible for microarrays >18.000 different transcripts excluding the singletons * >13.000 Singletons with distinct matches to the NCBI-DB
