Protocol 24392: Standard PCR Assay - Tg(LMNA*G608G)HClns
Version 2.2

Notes

This assay will distinguish hemizygous from homozygous transgenic animals.

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

Hom = ~230 bp
Hemi = ~230 bp and 432 bp
Wild type = 432 bp

This assay is capable of distinguishing hemi from hom.

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.
