DNA Prep
- Make a 1:10 dilution of each of your primers
- 3 μL primer + 27 μL ddH20 will usually suffice
- NOTE: Each sequence will require two samples—one with the upstream primer and one with the downstream primer
- Label 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes
- Add 1 μL of the appropriate primer to each tube
- Add DNA from a cleaned up PCR according to the table below
- Add sterile ddH2O according to the table below
- Report your sequencing reactions to Dr. Griffitts or online
- Take your sequencing reactions to 690 WIDB and put them in the refrigerator
- NOTE: Make sure the liquid is at the bottom of the tube

If you load 4 μL of our DNA ladder, the 3 Kb band will represent 12.5 ng/μL. To determine how much DNA to use for sequencing, compare the brightness (thickness) of the 3 Kb band to your DNA band then consult the table below. To sequence 600 to 800 bases, the BYU sequencing center requires 6.67 ng/μL.[1]
| Brightness (compared to the
3 Kb band of the DNA ladder) |
[DNA] | cleaned up DNA | ddH2O | 1:10 primer | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 0.5X as bright | < 6.25 ng/μL | redo PCR | redo PCR | redo PCR | redo PCR |
| 0.5X as bright | ~ 6.25 ng/μL | 9.6 μL | 0 μL | 1.0 μL | 10.6 μL |
| 1X as bright | ~ 12.5 ng/μL | 4.8 μL | 4.2 μL | 1.0 μL | 10.0 μL |
| 2X brighter | ~ 25 ng/μL | 2.4 μL | 6.6 μL | 1.0 μL | 10.0 μL |
| 3X brighter | ~ 37.5 ng/μL | 1.6 μL | 7.4 μL | 1.0 μL | 10.0 μL |
| 4X brighter | ~ 50 ng/μL | 1.2 μL | 7.8 μL | 1.0 μL | 10.0 μL |
| 5X brighter | ~ 62.5 ng/μL | 1.0 μL | 8.0 μL | 1.0 μL | 10.0 μL |
