Category: PCR Protocols: PCR Cloning Protocols

Pairs of oligonucleotide primers used in PCR are often designed with restriction sites in their 5' regions.  In many cases, the sites are different in the two primers.  In this case, amplification generates a target fragment whose termini now carry new restriction sites that can be used for directional cloning into plasmid vectors.  The purified fragment and the vector are digested with the appropriate restriction enzymes, ligated together, and transformed into E. coli. - [Read Cloning PCR Products by Addition of Restriction Sites to the Termini of Amplified DNA Protocol]

Category: Epigenetics and Methylation Protocols: Bisulfite Treatment Methylation Assay Protocol

A detailed protocol for bisulfite treatment of DNA. DNA is first digested with a restriction enzyme. DNA is denauted at 97C for 5min. Bisulfite protocol is included. Also DNA purification using the Promega Wizard DNA Cleanup kit in indicated. Fan Lab. UCL - [Read Fan Lab Bisulfite Treatment of Genomic DNA]

Category: Genetics and Genomics: Genotyping Protocols: Mutation Detection Protocols

The double-stranded DNA of recombinant plasmid, phagemid, or bacteriophage M13 replicative form DNA is digested with two restriction enzymes whose sites of cleavage both lie between one end of the target DNA and the binding site for universal primer. The enzyme that cleaves nearer the target sequence must generate either a blunt end or a recessed 3' terminus; the other enzyme must generate a four-nucleotide protruding 3' terminus. - [Read Generation of Sets of Nested Deletion Mutants with Exonuclease III Protocol]

Category: DNA Protein Interactions Protocols: Dnase Footprinting Assay Protocols

Protocol describes how isolated nuclei are incubated with varying amounts of Dnase I. Genomic DNA is then isolated from the nuclei and digested with a restriction enzyme, analyzed by gel electrophoresis, and probed by Southern hybridization. - [Read Mapping Dnase-I-hypersensitive Sites Protocol]

Category: Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis Protocols: DNA Electrophoresis Protocols: DNA Electrophoresis in Agarose Gels Protocols

A fragment of gel containing a band of DNA is excised and digested with agarase, which hydrolyzes the polymer to disaccharide subunits.  The released DNA is then purified by phenol extraction and ethanol precipitation.  The method works well for DNAs ranging in size from <5 kb to >20 kb. - [Read Recovery of DNA from Low-melting-temperature Agarose Gels: Enzymatic Digestion with Agarase Protocol]

Category: Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis Protocols: Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis Protocols

Protocol for restriction endonuclease digestion of DNA in agarose plugs. Genomic DNA isolated from mammalian, yeast, or bacterial cells can be digested with restriction endonucleases by incubating agarose plugs containing the DNA in the presence of the desired enzyme.  After digestion, the DNA can be fractionated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and either isolated from the gel or analyzed by Southern Hybridization. - [Read Restriction Endonuclease Digestion of DNA in Agarose Plugs Protocol]

Category: Molecular Biology Protocols: Restriction Enzyme Digestion

Restriction Enzyme Troubleshooting Guide. Fermentas. Problems: Undigested or incompletely digested DNA, additional bands atypical, Diffused DNA zones, Low fragment ligation efficiency. - [Read Restriction Enzyme Troubleshooting Guide]

Category: Nucleic Acid Detection Protocols

Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) is a method to detect large numbers of restriction landmarks in a single experiment.  It is based on the concept that restriction enzyme sites can serve as landmarks throughout a genome.  RLGS uses direct end-labeling of the genomic DNA digested with a rare-cutting restriction enzyme and high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis. - [Read Restriction Landmark Genomic Scanning Protocol]

Category: Yeast Protocols

Plasma membranes are isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The cell wall is initially digested by helicase, followed by hypoosmotic lysis and homogenization. Membranes are prepared by subsequent differential centrifugation. The activity of the H+-ATPase is then determined by measuring the amount of inorganic phosphate released from ATP. - [Read Yeast Plasma Membrane H+ -ATPASE Toxcity Test Protocol]
