Protocol 26223: Separated MCA Assay - Invs<inv>
Version 1.2

Notes

This assay can distinquish hemizygous from homozygous transgenic animals because the location of the tansgene is known.

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 = 700 bp
Heterozygote = 402 bp and 700 bp
Wild type = 402 bp

Mutant         Tm = 84.5        Area = 59

Wild type    Tm = 83.5       Area = 70

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.
