Robot mashine BIO-RAD mashine
Check PCR product in 1% gel, choose the clones with right band size (714bp by image gel or 718bp calculated) for RFLP or sequencing
For sequencing For RFLP and Sequencing
PCR product 30 µl PCR product 30 µl
4 µl for gel check 4 µl for gel check and quantification
6 µl for RFLP
26 µl for purification 20 µl for purification To 20 µl to 20 µl 4 µl for quantification 6 µl for quantification 16 µl left 14 µl left 2 µl of 16 for sequencing 3 µl for sequencing?
If don’t extract DNA, pick with toothpick some cells to PCR tubes, run PCR as follow: 94 10 min 25 cycle of: 94 30 sec 55 30 sec 72 30 sec 72 10 min
Prepare sequencing according to guide from UGC
(Run PCR product in 1% gel, right band size PCR product will be chosen for sequencing.) Purifying the PCR products with QiAquick PCR purification kit (not gel purification), quantifying them and preparing sequencing solution as follow:
Sequencing solution Final concentration DNA (10 ng/µl) 2.5µl 25ng (15-30 ng) M13f (2 µM) 2 µl 4 pmoles MQ Water 13.5 µl Total 18 µl
