Figure 2

Optimisation of the PPLMD method. The y-axis represents the average background-subtracted pixel density (0–64,000). A. Introduction of SpikeTarget DNA reduced background in negative control (purple vs. yellow). Blue: genomic DNA (containing RRS and MON810) + SpikeTarget, purple: MQ, yellow: MQ with SpikeTarget. All 4 padlock probes were present in the mix. HotStar Taq DNA polymerase was used to amplify in 40 LATE cycles. B. 80 LATE cycles increased signal compared to 40 cycles. Purple: 40 LATE cycles, blue: 80 LATE cycles. All 4 padlock probes were present in the mix (containing RRS and MON810). Vent® exo- DNA polymerase was used.
