Protocol presents the amplification of insert end sequences from bacterial artificial chromosome clones using TAIL-PCR. The amplified products are suitable as probes for chromosome walking and genome mapping and as templates for direct sequencing. The
protocol has been used in rice genome studies. - [Read Amplification of Insert End Sequences from BACs Clones by Thermal Asymmetric Interlaced PCR]
Protocol for the analysis of DNA methylation using bisulphite sequencing. Method allows precise analysis of methylation in a certain region by converting all nonmethylated cytosines into tymines, while methylated cytosines remain unchanged. This method requires small amount of genomic DNA and therefore seems to be very useful for the analysis of clinical samples, where the material amount is limited. - [Read Analysis of DNA Methylation using Bisulphite Sequencing Protocol]

Protocol for bisulfite-PCR for restriction analysis and/or sequencing. Bisulfite-PCR followed by restriction is a rapid and semi-quantitative method of analyzing DNA methylation. The PCR products are also suitable for either direct sequencing or cloning and sequencing. The most important step here is primer selection. - [Read Bisulfite-PCR for Restriction Analysis and/or Sequencing Protocol]
Protocol first describes the vector preparation and, then, describes the insert preparation. Vital to have an excellent vector in order to produce a sequencing library. Protocol employs the male-specific coliphage M13 as the sequencing vector. M13 is a filamentous phage with a single-stranded, circular genome. M13 is widely used as a vector because many versions are available commercially and because M13 has certain advantages. - [Read Construction of the Sequencing Library Protocol]
Because sequencing reactions catalyzed by thermostable DNA polymerasessuch as Taq are carried out at elevated temperatures, problemscaused by mismatched annealing of primers or templates richin secondary structure are greatly alleviated. - [Read Dideoxy-mediated Sequencing of DNA Using Taq DNA Polymerase Protocol]

Sequencing conditions tested for the ABI Big-Dye terminators (PE-ABI #4303150 for the 1000 reaction kit - Description: TF,KIT BTD RR-1000) with various templates. Important to quantitate all templates by agarose gel electrophoresis vs size and concentration standards and do a few tests with different template concentrations to determine the optimal conditions for your reactions. Several conditions are given. - [Read Dye Protocols and Notes for Cosmid, BAC, BAC, Fosmid Templates]

This protocol describes the electroporation of the BMH 81-17 mut S strain that is recommended for tranformation of the site directed mutagenesis of dsDNA (See Protocol on Site-Directed Mutagenesis on Double Stranded DNA). BMH 81-17 mut S are a mismatch repair defective (mut S) Escherichia coli strain. The probability that the two mutations will cosegregate during the first round of DNA replication is increased in this strain.
