PCR Genotyping from the Embryo Yoke Sac

This method is modified from Dr. Lyn Corcoran (WEHI)

DNA buffer :

1 X PCR buffer
0.45% NP - 40
0.45% Tween - 20
Proteinase K 100 mg / ml

Prepare the DNA for PCR :

  1. Add 50µl DNA buffer to a PCR tube
  2. Dig washed yolk sac into tube and spin down
  3. Incubate at 50°C for 30 minutes,
  4. Boil the lysate for 5 minutes, spin down,
  5. Take 5µl for PCR.

PCR reaction (50 µl) contains :

1 X PCR buffer
2 mM MgCl2
100 nM dNTPs

Primers :

a. 0.25 µM
b. 0.05 µM
c. 0.2 µM

a________c     400bp (targeting region)

a________b     200bp (wild type)

2.5 unit/ 100ulTaq DNA polymerase

PCR cycle :

Initial denaturing by 94°C for 4 minutes
28 cycles of 94°C for 1 minute
60°C for 1 minute
72°C for 1 minute
Final extension by 72°C for 10 minutes
