Protocol 21120: Separated PCR Assay - Myrf<tm1Barr>-alternate2
Version 1.0

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 = 225 bp
Heterozygote = 149 bp and 225 bp
Wild type = 149 bp

A read-through band may be seeing in the wt reaction at ~350 bp.  This can be ignored for scoring purposes.

Cycling

Step Temp °C Time Note

2 94.0 --
3 65.0 -- -0.5 C per cycle decrease
4 68.0 --
5 -- repeat steps 2-4 for 10 cycles (Touchdown)

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.
