Protocols &Technical Information
ADE 2 PCR protocol
Round 1 PCR
5ul 10x Taq buffer (see below)
0.5ul 20mM dNTP's (.2 mM)
0.5ul 5 U/ul Taq Polymerase (2.5 units)
5ul pFA-kanMX4 plasmid (~30 ng)
5ul 10uM ADE2 TAG 56mer (1uM)
5ul 10uM ADE2 DOWNSTREAM 64mer (1uM)
29ul water
50 ul final volume
*10x Taq buffer contains: 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.4), 500 mM KCl, 15 mM MgCl2.
*The Taq Polymerase should be added last and PCR mixture should be kept on ice until the PCR is started.
PCR conditions (Perkin Elmer 9600):
3 min, 94 °C (initial denaturation)
15 sec, 94 °C --->
15 sec, 54 °C ---> 25 cycles:
60 sec, 72 °C --->
3 min, 94 °C (final elongation)
Load 2ul on a 2% agarose TAE gel
The predicted 1.5 kb PCR product was obtained .
Round 2 PCR
In the second round, the PCR product from the first round
is amplified using UPSTREAM 63mer and the DOWNSTREAM 64mer.
