 Cloning small PCR fragments What is the best clonning method (TA, blunt end, etc...) for clonning small PCR fragments (20-30bp) to later sequence and blast for species identification? RT-PCR reaction is generating Ct values for non-specific targets. Need to identify these targets in an effort to design better PCR primers or to explain the non-specific amplification. Sequence homology is the no brainer reason but I need to identify the organism that is homologous to my target sequence. Please help if possible. Clonning efforts are wearing thin.  |

| Re: Cloning small PCR fragments how about random amplification instead so that you get sufficient DNA for sequencing, instead of trying to cloen them? Last edited by admin; 02-15-2012 at 03:00 AM. |

| Re: Cloning small PCR fragments When I wanted to verify my amplifications from qPCR, I cloned them into ZERO vector (a vector for blunt-end PCR product ligation). You should run your qPCR reaction in a dense gel (like 2-3%) and cut out your band. Then procede as usual with PCR cloning protocols. |
