To generate "5'-end" partial cDNA clones using classic RACE, the first-strand products are generated by reverse transcription (primer extension) from a known gene-specific primer (GSP-RT). Then, a poly(A) tail is appended using terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (Tdt) and dATP. Amplification is carried out using three primers. - [Read 5'-End cDNA Amplification Using Classic RACE Protocol]
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]
Method uses PCR to amplify and display many cDNAs derived from the mRNAs of a given cell or tissue type. The method relies on two different types of synthetic oligonucleotides: anchored antisense primers and arbitrary sense primers. A typical anchored primer is complementary to approx. 13 nucleotides of the poly(A) tail of mRNA and the adjacent two nucleotides of the transcribed sequence. - [Read Differential Display-PCR Protocol]

This highly efficient in vivo gene transduction technique for laboratory mice. Hepatocytes are most effectively transduced by tail vein injection of a large volume of DNA solution in a short time. Practice with the injection technique is necessary!!! - [Read Hydrodynamics-Based Gene Transduction 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]
Method is used chiefly to genotype transgenic and knockout mice. Each 6-10-mm snippet of mouse tail yields 50-100 µg of DNA that can be used in dot or slot blotting to detect a transgene of interest, in Southern hybridization to detect DNA fragments that are <20 kb in size, and as a template in PCRs. - [Read Preparation of Genomic DNA from Mouse Tails and Other Small Samples Protocol]
Simple protocol is used to extract DNA from small numbers of cultured cells and from fragments of soft or bony tissues. The method is used chiefly to genotype transgenic and knockout mice. Each 6-10-mm snippet of mouse tail yields 50-100 µg of DNA that can be used in dot or slot blotting to detect a transgene of interest, in Southern hybridization to detect DNA fragments that are <20 kb in size, and as a template in PCRs. - [Read Preparation of Genomic DNA from Mouse Tails and Other Small Samples Protocol]
PCR screens must be designed to detect transgene DNA at the single copy level.Copy standards are prepared by mixing non-transgenic tail DNA with a known amount of transgene DNA to produce transgene copy standards. University of Michigan Transgenic Animal - [Read reparation of Copy Standards for Southern Blot Copy Number Determination]
TAIL PCR Protocol. TAIL is a series of reactions that are intended to map where a T-DNA (transfer DNA) has inserted within the genome. The main components of the 3 reactions are the AD (Arbitrary Degenerate) primers, border primers, and DNA from the T-DNA - [Read TAIL PCR Protocol]

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.
A protocol for the selection of Phage Antibodies using Immobilized Antigen. This method describes the selection of antibodies from bacteriophage antibody libraries that recognize a specific antigen. The phage display library of antibody-displaying phage particles is exposed to antigen attached to a solid substrate (Nunc Immuno™ tubes). The phage particles with affinity for antigen bind to the immobilized antigen and are selected from the library of phage expressing antibodies.
The DNA Ligation protocol described here contains the steps required to join together using ligase enzyme both plasmid DNA and insert DNA fragments in order to create a new plasmid. This new ligated plasmid can be transformed after into competent bacteria to produce DNA for mini, midi or maxi-prep isolation.
3' Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends RACE Using PCR Protocol. This protocol contains the steps for 3' end rapid amplification of mRNA by PCR. The first-strand cDNA is synthesized from total or poly(A+) RNA by priming from the poly-A tail of the mRNA using a oligo (dT) adaptor primer. The cDNA is then amplified via PCR using a gene-specific primer and an adaptor primer.
