rhAmp SNP Genotyping technology

rhAmp SNP Genotyping is a quick, easy to use, single-tube assay chemistry that allows for routine automation and delivers genotypes after only 90 min PCR cycling time. rhAmp SNP Genotyping can be either performed directly on a real-time PCR instrument, or performed in a benchtop thermal cycler and transferred to a fluorescence detection platform for end-point analysis.

  • rhAmp technology delivers increased specificity and amplification without primer-dimers
  • Novel, dual-enzyme system increases mismatch discrimination
  • Universal probe reporter system enables low cost per genotype

Figure 1. Schematic representation of a rhAmp¢â SNP Genotyping PCR cycle. All components needed to measure both alleles are combined in a single reaction before cycling. 1) Both allele-specific primers query the SNP locus. 2) RNase H2 enzyme cleaves the primers that are perfectly annealed to the target sequence, removing the RNA base and 3¡Ç blocking modification, which allows extension by the IDT Hawkeye¢â Taq Polymerase. 3) During the first two amplification cycles, a tail sequence is incorporated into the amplicon that is subsequently recognized by a probe-based reporter system. 4) Polymerase extension leads to degradation of the probe and signal generation. 

rhAmp SNP Assays 

The rhAmp SNP Assay library contains designs for human SNPs with a minor allele frequency >1%. The database currently contains >10 million predesigned SNP assays and continues to grow. rhAmp SNP Assays demonstrate consistently high performance with >99.5% call accuracy on over 90% of tested assays.

rhAmp ADME SNP Assays

rhAmp ADME SNP Assays target SNPs in human genes that are responsible for the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of pharmaceutical compounds. These target SNPs are important biomarkers in pharmacogenetic studies. Each rhAmp ADME SNP Assay is experimentally validated to ensure optimized performance and signal generation.

Custom rhAmp SNP Assays

The rhAmp Genotyping Design Tool can be used to design rhAmp SNP assays for newly discovered SNPs that are not currently included in the predesigned human assay library, and for SNPs in any other species. The custom assay tool delivers a high design rate by accommodating short amplicons (as short as 40 bp) for maximum design flexibility. 

For newly discovered human SNPs that are not currently in the predesign database, the design algorithm will perform BLAST and other sequence analyses to generate the best design. Custom design is easily performed by submitting target SNP sequences for any genome in FASTA format.

rhAmp SNP Assays provide excellent genotyping performance

More than 90% of rhAmp SNP Assays provide a ¡Ã90% call rate and ¡Ã99.5% call accuracy for reliable data generation in your genotyping experiments (Figure 1).

rhAMP PCR GT Call Rate and Accuracy (V2)

Figure 1. rhAmp¢â SNP Genotyping assays provide a 90% call rate and 99.5% call accuracy. Genotyping was performed on 213 assays in 5 µL reactions using 3 ng of human gDNA from 46 individuals (Coriell Institute). Analysis was performed using QuantStudio¢â 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System software (Thermo Fisher).

High quality genotyping performance using gDNA from whole blood

rhAmp SNP Genotyping offers reliable genotyping performance across sample types. We have tested our assays and enzyme mixes across samples, including commercially available, purified genomic DNA and DNA isolated from whole blood, that all perform similarly to synthetic, gBlocks¢ç Gene Fragment templates (Figure 2).

Whole blood composite figure

Figure 2. rhAmp¢â SNP Assays provide consistent performance across sample types. Assays for were designed for SNPs in genes (A) SLCO1B1 and (B) ABCC2. These assays were used to assess SNPs in 3 different sample types: synthetic gBlocks¢ç Gene Fragments (*), purified genomic DNA (Coriell Institute; ∆) and genomic DNA isolated from whole blood using the Qiagen QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (prepared by BioChain Institute; ¡Û). Assay performance is similar across sample types, as shown by overlapping symbols. Analysis was performed using QuantStudio¢â 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System software (Thermo Fisher).

rhAmp primer technology virtually eliminates primer-dimer artifacts

rhAmp SNP Genotyping technology uses activation of RNA-DNA hybrid primers by the RNase H2 enzyme from Pyrococcus abyssi (see overview tab). The primers are only activated upon precise annealing to the correct target, and this RNase H2 activation mechanism nearly eliminates primer-dimers and other amplification artifacts that can affect experimental results. Figure 3 shows how effective RNase H2 activation is for eliminating primer-dimer artifacts, even when 96 primer pairs are multiplexed together in a single PCR reaction. 

rhAmp amplification gel

Figure 3. rhAmp¢â primers virtually eliminate primer-dimers and nonspecific amplification artifacts in multiplex applications. In multiplex PCR amplification of 96 targets from human genomic DNA (NA12878, Coriell Institute), two sets of multiplex primers for the 96 assays (192 individual primers) were synthesized either as standard PCR primers or as RNase H2-activated, rhAmp primer pairs. The results show tight control of primer-dimer artifacts, even in highly multiplexed assays. Total reaction volumes were 50 µL, with 10 ng of genomic DNA template or no template controls, and with 8 replicates for each condition. RNase H2 was present in all reactions but has no functional role in PCRs with standard primers.

Greater signal-to-noise ratio for higher confidence calls

rhAmp SNP Assays deliver an increased signal-to-noise ratio over traditional 5¡Ç-nuclease chemistry. In rhAmp technology, RNA-DNA hybrid primers are blocked at the 3¡Ç end to prevent primer-dimer formation and non-specific amplification, mitigating the unbalanced consumption of reaction components. More robust signal provides improved cluster separation for higher confidence automated genotyping calls (Figures 4 and 5).

ADME86 and ADME89 AD plots

Figure 4. rhAmp¢â SNP Genotyping achieves a higher fluorescent signal and improved cluster separation than assays from other manufacturers. Allelic discrimination plots for SNPs located in ADME genes (A) CYP1A2 (rs762551) and (B) CYP3A5 (rs776746) show higher fluorescent signal for rhAmp ADME SNP Assays (blue circles) than 5¡Ç-nuclease assays from Supplier T (red circles). Genotyping for 91 individuals was performed in 5 µL reactions using 3 ng of purified human gDNA (Coriell Institute). Analysis was performed using QuantStudio¢â 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System software (Thermo Fisher). Squares are no-template control assays.

Genie vs TaqMan DME89 multi-component (v2)

Figure 5. rhAmp¢â ADME SNP Assay demonstrates higher signal to noise in a shorter amount of time than assays from another manufacturer. Multicomponent plots of genotyping assays targeting ADME gene CYP3A5 (rs776746) show higher and more uniform endpoint fluorescence for the rhAmp SNP Assay (A) compared with a 5¡Ç-nuclease genotyping assay from  Supplier T (B). Genotyping for 5 individuals with heterozygous genotypes was performed in 5 µL reactions, using 3 ng of purified human gDNA (Coriell Institiute). Cycling was set using manufacturer recommended 40 cycles for the rhAmp SNP Genotyping, and 50 cycles for the 5¡Ç-nuclease genotyping assay from Supplier T. Data was generated using the QuantStudio¢â 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher). 

rhAmp SNP Assays and reagents are made using the highest quality oligonucleotides

Consistent synthesis quality ensures that when you or another researcher orders a rhAmp¢â SNP Assay for the same SNP ID, the results will not change (Figure 6).

Three independent lots of rhAmp SNP Genotyping assays targeting SNP ID (A) rs3825505 and (B) rs2289221 were synthesized and formulated (Synthesis A, B, and C). Genotyping was performed in 5 µL reactions, using 3 ng human gDNA from 46 individuals (Coriell Institute). Data was analyzed using CFX Manager¢â Software (Bio-Rad). Yakima Yellow¢ç signal was detected using the VIC¢ç channel without calibration.

Figure 7. rhAmp¢â SNP Genotyping assays deliver high precision and performance regardless of qPCR instrument used. Allelic discrimination plots for SNPs located in genes (A and B) SMARCD1 (rs3782323) and (C and D) LINC00111 (rs3850713) show consistent performance of rhAmp SNP Assays analyzed using QuantStudio¢â Real-Time PCR Software (Thermo Fisher) or the CFX Real-Time PCR Software (Bio-Rad). Genotyping was performed in 5 µL reactions, using 3 ng human gDNA from 46 individuals (Coriell Institute). Yakima Yellow¢ç signal was detected using the VIC¢ç channel without calibration. More than 90% of rhAmp SNP Assays demonstrate a call rate >95% and call accuracy of 99.5% regardless of qPCR instrument.
