Protocol for Enhancing PCR of Very Difficult Regions

Target DNA (~5 ng/ul) 3ul GeneAmp 10x PCR buffer* 10ul 25 mM MgCl2 (Applied Biosystems 58002032-01) 10ul 7-deaza dGTP (Roche part No.92284126), dATP, dCTP, dTTP mix** 10ul Primer pair (from mermade)(5 ul, i.e. 500 pmoles of each primer) 10ul Polyoxyethylenesorbitan monolaurate (1% v/v with sterile double distilled water)*** 10ul Igepal CA-630 (1% v/v with sterile double distilled water)*** 10ul Taq polymerase (~10U/ml) 1ul Sterile double distilled water 36ul Final volume 100ul Thermocycling reaction conditions: 95 degrees C for 5 minutes, followed by: 35 cycles of: 95 degrees C for 1 minutes 50 degrees C for 2 minutes 72 degrees C for 3 minutes 72 degrees C for 10 minutes 4 degrees C hold Then, clean the PCR product containing 7-deaza-dG by adding 5 ul of SAP and 5 ul of ExoI, incubating at 37 deg C for 30 minutes followed by 80 deg C for 15 minutes. Store frozen and use 4 ul of this SAP-ExoI cleaned product in each subsequent sequencing reaction. *(500 mM KCl, 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5 in sterile double distilled water or Applied Biosystems 58002026-01) **The 7-deaza dGTP (Roche part No.92284126), dATP, dCTP, dTTP (the latter three are from Amersham-Pharmacia) mix has each dNTP at a final concentration of 2.0 mM and contains 5 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 and 0.1 mM EDTA in sterile double distilled water. *** Polyoxyethylenesorbitan monolaurate (1% v/v Tween 20, Sigma-Aldrich # P-9416 with sterile double distilled water), Igepal CA-630 (1% v/v Octylphenoxy)polyethoxyethanol [which is identical to NonidetP-40, a nonionic detergent], Sigma-Aldrich # I-8896 with sterile double distilled water) (both detergents are added to a final concentration of 0.1%), proline (Sigma-Aldrich # P-5607) and/or MMNO (4-Methylmorpholine N-oxide) (Sigma-Aldrich # 22428-6) (where proline and MMNO are at a final concentration of from 0.4M to 0.8M) may facilitate reading through G/C rich regions both in PCR and sequencing reactions.

Welcome to Geeklog!

Geeklog

Welcome to the Geeklog Demo Site. Here, you can try out Geeklog without having to install it yourself. We hope that you like it!

If you do, head over to our main site, www.geeklog.net, and download the latest version.

Please note that this site is reset every hour on the hour. All the changes made to the site are lost then.

To log in, you can either register as a user (remember that your registration will be deleted when the site is reset) or you can use this preconfigured account:

Username: Admin
Password: password

The "Admin" account is Geeklog's equivalent of a 'root' account and will give you full access to everything. 

The Forum and Captcha Plugins are not part of the default install of Geeklog, they are here for demo purposes only.

Themes for the Geeklog 1.5 release, are being converted now. If you do not see the theme you are looking for, keep checking back, or post a messaage in the Geeklog forums. You can get a copy of them over at Spacequad.
