Protocol 22841: Standard PCR Assay - F2r<tm1Ajc>
Version 3.3

Notes

This assay may produce an artifact band at ~350 bp, especially in heterozygotes.

The genotyping protocol(s) presented here have been optimized for reagents and conditions used by The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). To genotype animals, JAX recommends researchers validate the assay independently upon receipt of animals into their facility. Reaction cycling temperature and times may require additional optimization based on the specific genotyping reagents used.

Expected Results

Mutant = 225 bp
Heterozygote = 175 bp and 225 bp
Wild type = 175 bp

Separated by gel electrophoresis on a 3.0% agarose gel.

JAX uses a very high speed Taq (~1000 bp/sec), use cycling times recommended for your reagents.
JAX uses a 'touchdown' cycling protocol and therefore has not calculated the optimal annealing temperature for each set of primers.
