Tilling by sequencing

Methods Mol Biol. 2015:1284:359-80. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-2444-8_18.

Abstract

TILLING is a method to find mutations in a gene of interest by scanning amplicons from a mutagenized population for sequence changes, commonly a single nucleotide. In the past 5 years, mutation detection by sequencing has become increasingly popular. This chapter details the experimental flow for TILLING-by-Sequencing, highlighting the critical steps involved in tridimensional pooling of genomic DNA templates, preparation of libraries for high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatic processing of the sequence data.
