Description
Current pipelines used to map genetrap insertion sites are based on inverse- or splinkerette-PCR methods, which despite their efficacy are prone to artifacts and do not provide information on the impact of the genetrap on the expression of the targeted gene. We developed a new method, which we named TrapSeq, for the mapping of genetrap insertions based on paired-end RNA sequencing. By recognizing chimeric mRNAs containing genetrap sequences spliced to an endogenous exon, our method identifies insertions that lead to productive trapping. Overall design: We conducted two independent screenings for sensitivity against 6-thioguanine (6TG) and an ATR inhibitor (ATRi). We applied our RNAseq-based pipeline (TrapSeq) to identify mutations that provide resistance to these reagents. Importantly, and besides its use for screenings, when applied to individual clones our method provides a fast and cost-effective way that not only identifies the insertion site of the genetrap but also reveals the impact of the insertion on the expression of the trapped gene. Please note that HAP1, haploid for all chromosomes, derives from near-haploid KBM7 parent line which was in turn obtained from a chronic myeloid leukemia patient in blast crisis phase (Carette et al. Nature 477:340-343, 2011).
