Genomic DNA Digestion & Preparation

 

1.   digest tail piece in 50 ml of digestion buffer

2.   heat-inactivate in 95ēC for 10 minutes

3.   add proteinase K at a final concentration of 1 mg/ml (2.5 ml of 20mg/ml stock)

4.   incubate at 55ēC for 1 hour

5.   mix

6.   incubate at 55ēC for 1 hour

7.   heat-denature the proteinase K at 95ēC for 10 minutes

 

 

PCR Protocol

 

Pre-Mix

      DMSO                         2.5 ml

      primer 1                        2.5 ml

      primer 2                        2.5 ml

      H2O                             9.5 ml

 

1.   make pre-mix for correct number of samples (+ a few extra) and add 19 ml to each tube

2.   add 1 ml of sample DNA to each tube

 

dNTP Mix

      dNTP working stock      1.0 ml

      RedTaq buffer              0.5 ml

      H2O                             1.5 ml

 

3.   make appropriate amount of dNTP Mix and keep on ice

4.   place tubes with Pre-Mix in thermal cycler for 3 minutes at 95ēC

(program <MAIN>/DENATURE)

 

Taq

      RedTaq                              2.0 ml

 

5.   add RedTaq to dNTP Mix on ice

6.   after 3 minutes in thermal cycler, add 5 ml of Taq/dNTP mix to each tube

7.   continue PCR program as follows (currently program <MAIN>/TLF)
