The genetic detection standards which are commonly used at present are as follows: (1) pathological tissues obtained by patient operation and puncture, and patient peripheral blood samples containing circulating tumor cells; (2) immortalized cell lines derived from patients with genetic diseases and tumors, and commercial cell lines; cell lines obtained by genetic engineering, etc.; (3) recombinant plasmid containing mutation site and nearby sequence or PCR product (4). Analyzing the advantages and the disadvantages of the existing genetic reference standard, the patient sample is found to be closest to the form of the detection sample and has a definite genetic background, but because the sample quantity is precious, the acquisition is inconvenient, the uniformity is not good, and the standard cannot be prepared in a large quantity; the cell sample is also relatively close to the form of a clinical sample, the pretreatment and extraction methods are similar, but the requirement on establishing and storing conditions of an immortalized cell line is high, the construction and screening process of a genetically modified cell line is complex, and homozygous and heterozygous mutation types need to be distinguished; the plasmid and PCR product construction process is simple and quick, is not limited by rare mutation samples, but the higher copy number concentration of the samples easily causes diffusion and pollution among different genotypes, and causes false positive of experimental results; also, synthetic DNA samples are readily available and are not limited by rare mutant samples. But the difference from clinical samples is large, and the quantitative determination of the value is difficult.

Detailed Description
The invention discloses a genetic reference material for alpha thalassemia gene detection and a preparation method thereof, and a person skilled in the art can realize the genetic reference material by appropriately improving process parameters by referring to the content. It is expressly intended that all such similar substitutes and modifications which would be obvious to one skilled in the art are deemed to be included in the invention. While the genetic reference materials and methods of making the same of the present invention have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that variations or appropriate modifications and combinations of the promoters and strains described herein may be made to implement and utilize the techniques of the present invention without departing from the spirit, scope and spirit of the invention.
Regarding the selection of the safe site of the s.cerevisiae genome, the URA3 gene encodes orotidine-5 phosphate decarboxylase, which is a key enzyme in the process of yeast RNA pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis. If orotidine-5 phosphate decarboxylase is inactivated, the yeast cannot grow and shows uridine or uracil auxotrophy and 5-FOA acid-resistant phenotype. Therefore, URA3 gene is widely used as a nutritional deficiency screening marker in yeast molecular genetics research. As long as the medium is supplemented with uridine or uracil in the medium, the yeast can grow normally; knocking out URA3 gene and inserting exogenous fragment into it will not affect normal growth of yeast, so URA3 is selected as safe site for insertion of exogenous gene. The total length of URA3 gene is 804bp, and the sequence is shown as SEQID NO. 1.
The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system can efficiently mediate site-directed DNA double strand breaks, usually activates repair of a non-homologous end joining mechanism (NHEJ) in cells, and introduces non-target insertions, deletions and other mutations (indels), which is widely used for gene knockout. The DNA double-strand break can also be repaired by a homologous recombination mechanism, and when a single-strand or double-strand target gene recombination template is introduced, the specific knock-in mutation can be realized to obtain a genetic reference substance.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
Example 1: selection and design of guide RNA target sites
1) Selection and design of guide RNA target sites
Three gRNAs targeting URA3 were designed at http:// crispr. dbcls. jp/website, guide RNA target sites as follows:
URA-g1: cattacgaatgcacacggtgTGG (351-373 bp in SEQ ID NO:1, PAM for upper case base and protospacers for lower case base);
URA-g2: gttagcagaattgtcatgcaAGG (447-469 bp in SEQ ID NO:1, PAM for upper case base and protospacers for lower case base);
URA-g3: gaagagatgaaggttacgatTGG (569-591 bp in SEQ ID NO:1, PAM for upper case base and protospacers for lower case base);
two reverse complementary primers are designed according to the guide RNA target site, protective bases are added at two ends of the primers, and the sequences of the primers are as follows (the protective bases are three bases at the 5' end):
URA-g1F:+5’ATCcattacgaatgcacacggtg3’
URA-g1R:-5’aacCACCGTGTGCATTCGTAATG 3’
URA-g2F:+5’ATCgttagcagaattgtcatgca 3’
URA-g2R:-5’aacTGCATGACAATTCTGCTAAC 3’
URA-g3F:+5’ATCgaagagatgaaggttacgat 3’
URA-g3R:-5’aacATCGTAACCTTCATCTCTTC 3’
the two ends of the primer are filled to match with the sapI enzyme cutting nick of the p425-Sap-TEF1p-Cas9-CYC1t-2xSap vector. The reverse complementary primers were annealed (20 ul in the annealing system: 2. mu.l of 10xNEB buffer, 5. mu.l of each 100. mu. M F/R) for 5min at 95 ℃ and then slowly cooled to room temperature.
Connecting the p425-Sap-TEF1p-Cas9-CYC1t-2xSap vector digested by the SapI with an annealing product (10 mul of a connecting system contains 10xT4 ligase buffer 1 mul, 50ng of the digestion vector and 1ul of the annealing product) to transform escherichia coli, identifying and obtaining positive clones, extracting the plasmid gRNA1-p425-Sap-TEF1p-Cas9-CYC1t-2xSap by using the kit for a subsequent step, and randomly breaking DNA double strands at the 351-373 position of the gene after transforming the w303-1a yeast. The recombination and repair can be carried out at the gap by the existence of the recombination template in the system after the fracture, thereby achieving the effect of knocking in the target gene.
2) Verification of editing efficiency
Transforming the successfully constructed plasmid into saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A by a LiAc method, selecting 5-10 single colonies from each plate, boiling and cracking the single colonies in 0.2% SDS, amplifying URA3 gene, performing electrophoresis detection on a small amount of PCR products, sequencing the positively amplified clones to verify the editing efficiency, and performing gene editing when deletion, insertion, code shift and the like are caused in a gRNA targeting and identifying region, wherein the result is shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Efficiency of editing
URA-g1 30%
URA-g2 0
URA-g3 13%
According to the method, URA3-gRNA1 with high editing efficiency is selected for follow-up research according to the rule that the colony growth quantity is in inverse proportion to the editing efficiency.
Example 2: construction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologous recombination template
Designing homologous arms based on a targeting cleavage site of a Cas9 system, respectively connecting the upstream homologous arm and the downstream homologous arm into a multiple cloning site region of a pBluescript vector through a molecular cloning method of restriction enzyme digestion or a recombination mode of the homologous arms, and reserving an enzyme digestion site between homologous sequences for connecting a knock-in sequence. The successfully constructed recombinant template is subjected to enzyme digestion or PCR amplification to obtain a double-chain homologous recombination template containing upstream and downstream homologous arms and a target sequence.
Designing homologous arms of a targeting cutting site (guide RNA target site) based on a Cas9 system, wherein the upstream homologous arm is 134bp (214-347 bp in SEQ ID NO: 1), the downstream homologous arm is 141bp (386-526 bp in SEQ ID NO: 1), the upstream homologous arm and the downstream homologous arm are obtained by amplification through amplification primers respectively, then the upstream homologous arm and the downstream homologous arm are respectively connected into EcoRV and NotI enzyme cutting sites of a multiple cloning site region of a pBluescript vector (PSK plasmid) through a molecular cloning method, and a recombinant universal vector PSK-up-down plasmid containing the yeast homologous arm is obtained after successful identification. The amplification primers of the upstream and downstream homology arms are as follows:
F-g1up:5’ggcacagttaagccgctaaagg3’
R-g1up:5’gcccattctgctattctgtatacacc3’
F-g1down:5’AGTTCTAGAGCGGCCGCttgttagcggtttgaagcagg3’
R-g1down:5’ACCGCGGTGGCGGCCGCtgtcgctcttcgcaatgtcaa3’
wherein, vector homology (capitalized base) is added at two ends of an amplification primer of a downstream homology arm, and the vector homology (capitalized base) is inserted into a multiple cloning site in a homologous recombination mode.
When the genetic reference substance gene to be knocked in is amplified, enzyme cutting sites such as EcoRI, XmaI, SmaI, BamHI, XbaI and the like (positioned between the upstream and downstream homologous arms) can be selected, proper enzyme cutting sites and protective bases are added at two ends of an amplification primer, and the amplified fragment is connected into a universal vector inserted into the homologous arms through recombination and enzyme cutting. For example, the EcoRI & XbaI enzymatic cleavage site was used to ligate the genetic reference material gene into a universal vector into which the homology arms had been inserted, using primers for the genetic reference material gene:
F:cgGAATTC[NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN]
R:gcTCTAGA[NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN]
wherein NN … … N refers to primer sequence on genetic reference substance gene, and is determined according to selected gene, wherein lower case base is protective base, and upper case base is enzyme cutting site;
specifically, taking preparation of a thalassemia gene mutation type plasmid, such as construction of an alpha-thalassemia gene mutation plasmid as an example, by adopting an enzyme digestion connection and recombination method, target genes alpha 1 and alpha 2, namely genetic reference substance genes are sequentially connected into a yeast homologous arm-containing recombinant universal vector psk-up-down plasmid which is digested by corresponding enzyme digestion, firstly, construction of a type with a small copy number is completed, and a type with a large copy number can be constructed on the basis of the former plasmid, so that a required alpha-thalassemia copy number variation type plasmid standard product can be obtained. Wherein the enzyme cutting sites mainly adopted are SmaI, BamHI, ECORI, XbaI, SpeI and the like, and the enzyme cutting sites selected need to be positioned between the upstream and downstream homologous arms of yeast in a recombinant universal vector psk-up-down containing the homologous arms of the yeast.
