Protocol 28768: Standard PCR Assay - Generic DsRed
Version 6.2

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

Transgene Tm = 87.9°C +/- 1.0°C
Internal positive control Tm = 82.7°C+/- 1.0°C

Tg = 217 bp

IPC = 324 bp

Step Temp °C Time Note
1 94.0 --

3 65.0 -- -0.5 C per cycle decrease

11 10.0 -- hold
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.
