Protocol 42538: Separated PCR Assay - Tg(SNCA*A53T)Nbm-Chr14-5'-TLA
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

Mutant = 181 bp
Heterozygote = 181 bp and 249 bp
Wild type = 249 bp

This assay is capable of distinguishing hemi from hom.  A transgene insertion site is known to be on mouse Chr 14.  JR10799 was used to determine this transgene insertion site, however, JR10799 contains both Tg(SNCA*A53T)1Nbm and Tg(SNCA*A53T)2Nbm.  A second insertion site is known to be in mouse Chr 3.

This assay is NOT able to be used for copy number evaluation.  If this is required, it is suggested to type by qPCR.

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.
