Protocol 315: Restriction Enzyme Digest Assay - Apob<tm1Sgy>
Version 2.1

Notes

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 = 181 bp and 100 bp
Heterozygote = 100 bp, 181 bp and 281 bp
Wild type = 281 bp
Separated by gel electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel.**
