Protocol 18501: QPCR Assay - c9ORF72-qPCR
Version 1.0

Notes

 

Taqman qPCR protocols are run on a real time PCR instrument. Use an appropriate instrument specific Fluorophore/Quencher combination. The transgene genotype is determined by comparing ΔCt values of each unknown sample against known homozygous and hemizygous controls, using appropriate endogenous references.

Genotyping by PCR is performed to determine the absence or presence of the transgene. This strain has some variability in repeat size, therefore Southern blotting is performed to accurately determine the size, in kilobases, of the repeat within the transgene.

 

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.
