Protocol for histochemical staining. This protocol has been optimized for b-galactosidase and human placental alkaline phosphatase staining in retinal tissue and cultured cells. - [Read Histochemical Staining Protocol]
Protocol describes a plate method that gives very good yield for cloning. Includes: T-TYN Media + Mg+2; T-TYN Plates; T-TYN Top Agarose. - [Read Lambda DNA Preparation Protocol]
Protocol for PCR genotyping from tail DNA. This protocol works well for a variety of genes and primer pairs including Tg and KO alleles. Oligonucleotide melting temperatures between 60° and 65° seem to work well. - [Read PCR Genotyping from Tail DNA Protocol]
Protocol for quick DNA plasmid prep. Protocol gives very clean plasmid preps for restriction digests and cloning. However, due to the alkaline lysis step, the DNA is often nicked and may not give exceptional sequence data. - [Read Quick DNA Plasmid Prep Protocol]
Protocol for quick DNA plasmid prep. This is a very fast mini-prep protocol which is suitable for sequence analysis and restriction digests. - [Read Quick DNA Plasmid Prep. Protocol]
Protocol for RNA preparation from cultured cells or tissue samples. This protocol has been used to isolate RNA from relatively small tissue samples. The RNA is clean enough for Rnase protection, cDNA synthesis, and RT-PCR analysis. - [Read RNA Preparation from Cultured Cells or Tissue Samples Protocol]
Protocol for single strand DNA prep for sequencing. This protocol works well from a 5 ml starting culture or a 1 ml starting culture (adjust volume accordingly). - [Read Single Strand DNA Prep For Sequencing Protocol]
