Protocol 29434: Standard PCR Assay - Pou4f1<tm2.1Nat>
Version 2.2

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

>chr14:104866852-104867072 221bp GCGGAGCCGCCGAGCAGTGCGAGC CCGGATGGCCTCGGAGCTGGAGTG

WT=221bp

HET = 221bp/250bp
HOM=~250bp

Based on bp sizes of products this should be run on a 3% 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.
