Protocol 12136: Standard PCR Assay - Tert<tm1Yjc>
Version 2.0

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 = 420 bp
Heterozygote = 172 bp and 420 bp
Wild type = 172 bp

Separated by gel electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel.
