Rapid alkaline lysis miniprep method for isolating DNA from large PAC clones. It is a modification of a standard Qiagen-Tip method that uses no organic extractions or columns. The method works very well for doing analytical restriction digests of PAC clones and can be scaled up if necessary. - [Read DNA Isolation From BAC & PAC Clones Protocol]

Topo Cloning procedure for cloning of small amounts DNA fragments by PCR. Cloning the PCR fragment into the TOPO vector, transforming E. Coli cells, and using blue/white selection to determine transformants. Culture inoculation, Qiagen Plasmid Prep protocol for plasmid isolation of the plasmid containing the cloned copies.

DNA microarrays are an ordered arrangement of DNA molecules complementary to genes of interest that are "spotted" by robotic equipment onto a glass slide substrate. The expression of genes in cells can be monitored with microarrays by preparing cDNA from the mRNA of cells of interest and measuring the hybridization to the microarray. This protocol describes the labeling of genomic DNA for use as a probe for hybridization to the cDNA spotted on the array.
