Protocol 49958: Standard PCR Assay - Slc6a1<em#Lutzy>
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

chr6:114304291+114304571 281bp GTGGCTGCTCACCATCACAT TCCATGGCTCTGCTTATCCAGCCCC

Mutant = 209 bp
Heterozygote = 209 bp and 281 bp
Wild type = 281 bp

Ignore 303bp band for scoring purposes.

Samples positive for the Slc6a1em1.1/2.1Lutzy will have a band at 303 bp

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.
