Revision as of 17:15, 28 August 2007

I tried gradient PCR to see if a higher annealing temperature would prevent the incorrect primer binding.

Experiment

I prepared 8 reactions for both S03582 and I13033


PCR Reaction

  • 9 μL PCR Supermix High Fidelity (Invitrogen)
  • .25 μL of 40 μM VR
  • .4 μL of 25 μM VF2
    • I ran out of 40 μM VF2 so I used more of a less concentrated sample to make up the difference
  • 1 μL template DNA (~10 ng/μL)


  • Initial denature 95°C - 5 min
  • 35 cycles
    • 94°C - 30 sec
    • Gradient from 54°C to 70°C - 30 sec
    • 68°C - 36 sec
  • Final extension 68° - 10 min
  • 4°C forever


*The annealing temperature gradient ran from 54°C to 70°C, but due to the placement of 8-well strips samples were at the following annealing temperatures: 55.4°C, 56.7°C, 58.5°C, 60.9°C, 63.6°C, 65.8°C, 67.6°C, 68.7°C


I ran the results on a 1% Agarose gel for 30 minutes.

Results of Gradient PCR

The extra bands still appeared at the different annealing temperatures.
