Test: 1) DNA concentrations of a single target species 2) The presence of a target species within a mixed sample of other closely related species 3) Species-specific functionalized nanoparticles vs. species-specific oligonucleotide probes alone 4) Amplified DNA fragments vs. unamplified genomic DNA -> LTS is a highly sensitive technique for rapid target species detecetion - Detection limits: picomolar range. - Capable of successful identification in multispecies samples with target and nontarget species DNA Result: LTS DNA detection platform will be useful for field application of target species. LTS have versatility for broader application: effective with species-specific oligonucleotide tags alone or with polystyren nanobeads, with both amplified and unamplified DNA. Introduction Invasive species: Problem - Negative effects on ecosystem(fresh,marine), biodiverisy, commerce - Economic damage: $120 billion annually for the USA (ex: Laurentian Great Lakes: 180 species are introduced via ships’ ballast Great Lake: 150million damage annually in power plants.): How to solve: Need for rapid and inexpensive field-based detection technologies to identify harmful species in water samples from ballast water etc. before establishment or spread Previous studies Research on detecting rare species: -Focus on environmental samples -Detection of aquatic organisms -Species identification: Relies on forensic DNA evidence Novel platforms for early detection - Fluorescence - Nanotube chips Strength: higher specificity, fast relative to traditional method of hand sorting and morphologically based microscopy Weakness: - high costs, low throughput, lengthy detection times (e.g chip fabrication time and sample screening: 2-6h)) -Dependence on technical expertise for platform Need: -more efficient method(field based detection, rapid analysis and quick decision) --> Laser transmission spectroscopy(LTS) - provide rapid, cost-effective, user friendly detection of invasive species Figure. Schematic diagram of DNA detection using LTS. Concept -Measures wavelength-dependent light transmittance through a sample containing nanoparticles in suspension - The transmission of light through the sample cell containing paritcles plus suspension fluid is recorded along with that of a similar cell containing only the suspension fluid. -The data are analysed and inverted by a computer algorithm that outputs particle size distribution(X axis) and abundance(Y axis). LTS -Quantitative detection platform -Measuring the size and shape and number of nanoparticles in a solution -Binding-> increase in particle size A resolution of 3nm for mixtures/ 1nm -> 0.3-1 DNA base pair =>Differentially sized molecules produce different peak profiles, depending on their size and concentration in solution. -> species specific tags -> LTS peak is diagnostic for the detection of an intended target -> differ by 7bp in a 32 bp species-specific region. ssDNA nanobead Tag Figure.

DNA prep: amplified DNA- denature(2min)-incubated with tagged nanobeads 1.1 Rationale Q about the efficacy of LTS for application in field settings. 1) What are the concentration limits for detection using the LTS platform? 2) How is detection affected by the presence of non-target DNA(DNA from other species?) 3) Can LTS-based detection occur without the use of nanobeads (i.e. with only the DNA and species-specific tags present)? 4) Can LTS-based detection occur in the presence of unamplified genomic DNA? 1. Condition1: PCR amplified DNA and with genomic DNA 2. Condition2: species-specific oligonucleotide-tagged nanobeads and only species-specific oligonucleotide tags 2.

Discussion Real-time information about the presence and distribution of target species is necessary for shipping industry operators or government agencies to respond to the growing threat of biological invasions in aquatic environments. Detection tools: rapid and accurate, easy to use in both application and interpretation of results LTS - Using regression model, Concentration range for potential detection to the picomolar(10-12)range (y=0) -Ultimately to screen DNA samples collected directly from nature w/o PCR -Collection to finalanalysis (3hr, including PCR) -> under 1hr (w/o PCR) - To train ship crew members while the ship is underway - cost effective and easily applied platform (sample processing and analysses costs are under 5$ per sample.. To be resolved - To apply for many environmental DNA(eDNA) based samples, further tests will be necessary to determine whether our results are generalizable to other species. - Samples could be screened for broader taxonomic groups. - Only a few amplification cycles may be needed for detection (if PCR is required) - To test different sized polystyrene beads with different oligonucleotide tags - Quality assurance for detections (graduate to real-time testing of samples on site in the field) Conclusion Current study: The potential usefulness and versatility of LTS technology for species-specific DNA detection in aqueous samples, and for particular application to ship ballast water samples. By detecting invaders early by use of the LTS platform, management and governmental groups can rapidly respond at stages where establishment can potentially be prevented or more efficiently managed.
