Protocol 20071: Standard PCR Assay - Tg(Myh11-icre/ERT2)1Soff Alternate1
Version 1.0
Notes
This assay will NOT 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
Transgene = 287 bp
Internal positive control = 180 bp
Tg inserted on Y chromosome for strain 19079 and on X chromosome for strain 36935.

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.
