Procedure

PCR products cloning

The PCR product may require purification first. Use "GenElute agarose spin column" (sigma 5-6500) if the product is in a gel or "QIAquick PCR purification kit" if it is liquid.

2.1- Equipment

  • heating block
  • spinning centrifuge

2.2- Reagents

2.3- Other consumables

  • 0.3 µl sterile ??? tubes
  • DW

2.4- Ligation See DNA Ligation

  • Prepare a master-mix in a 0.5 ml tube containing (µl):

DW Tp2x pGEMT Ligase - for 1 tube: 1.5 2.5 0.25 0.5 (total: 4.75) - for 4 tubes: 6.0 10.0 1.0 2.0 (total: 19.0) - for 6 tubes: 9.0 15.0 1.5 3.0 (total: 28.5) - for 8 tubes: 12.0 20.0 2.0 4.0 (total: 38.0) - for 10 tubes: 15.0 25.0 2.5 3.0 (total: 47.5) - for 12 tubes: 18.0 30.0 3.0 6.0 (total: 57.0)

  • dispense 4.75 l of the mix into 0.2 ml tubes
  • Add 0.25 µl of the purified PCR-product
  • vortex
  • incubate 1 night at 4°C or 1 h at RT
  • spin before use

2.5- Bacterial transformation(IMPORTANT: keep the cc on ice as much as possible)

  • set a heating block at 42°C and fill wells with DW
  • defrost a 2 ml tube of SOC medium
  • place the required LB plates at 37°C
  • set 15 1.5 ml tubes in a recipient full of watery ice
  • cut the head of a yellow tip with a razor blade to increase its diameter
  • take a tube of XL2-blue competent cells (cc) out of the -80°C freezer, put it immediately in watery ice and wait until it thaws
  • gently stir the cc with the pipette tip, slowly resuspend them
  • distribute 10 µl of cc into 10 of the 15 tubes
  • keep the nulber of tubes needed and put the extra ones at -80°C
  • add 0.18 µl of ß-MAE to each tube
  • incubate on watery ice for 10 min, gently shaking with a finger tip 2-3 times during the 10 min
  • add 1.2 µl of each ligation product into each cc-tubes
  • gently mix
  • incubate on watery ice for 30 min
  • heat shock exactly 30 sec at 42°C in the heating block (no mix, no shake)
  • put on ice during 2 min
  • spin
  • add 125 µl of SOC medium to each tube
  • shake the tubes tilted @ 37°C for 1 h at 225 rpm
  • during this hour, finish preparing the LB plates (stored @ 37°C):

- prepare the appropriate number of Pasteur pipettes close tip and bend - clean bench using EtOH

  • when the incubation is complete, spread 145 µl of SOC-CC onto plate
  • let soak 10 min @ 37°C
  • incubate inverted @ 37°C overnight
  • shift to 4°C for 1 h for color development before screening
  • seal the plates with parafilm and store them at 4°C

2.6- Screening

  • set up PCR reaction (25 µl) for 3-6 colonies per plate
  • primers are the vector primers m13rev and T7/M13
  • Red TAQ
  • just touch a colony with a sterile toothpick and twirl in PCR tube
  • PCR program (pPCR-JU) has 25 cycles:

96°C: pause 96°C: 30 sec 94°C: 30 sec 52°C: 30 sec 68°C: 2 min 68°C: 5 min 4°C: pause

  • seal the plates with parafilm and store them at 4°C
  • check how_to_culture_bacteria.txt if the a liquid culture of the bacteria is needed

Cleaning of PCR product

3.1- Equipment

  • material for gel electrophoresis
  • PCR machine

3.2- Reagents

  • Shrimp alkaline phosphatase (SAP), stock solution 1 U/µl [removes P from 3' end of DNA]
  • exonuclease I, stock solution 10 U/µl [removes single strand DNA]

3.3- Other consumables

3.4- Cleaning

  • visualize the PCR product to make sure that there is no sub-band (concentration should be 20 ng/ml)
  • add 5 µl of each PCR product into a 200 µl strip tube
  • mix enough SAP and EXO in equal volumes
  • mix and spin
  • distribute 1 µl of this mixture to the lid of each tube
  • Use a PCR machine to incubate and denaturate (SWATI-PURE):

lid temp: 110.0°C 37.0°C: pause 37°C: 30 min (incubate) 80°C: 15 min (denaturate) 25°C: pause

  • The products are then ready for the sequencing reaction and can be stored at -20°C

Big dye sequencing reaction

4.1- Equipment

  • PCR machine

4.2- Reagents

4.3- Other consumables

4.4- Procedure

  • All the following steps must be made on ice
  • Prepare the following mix (quantities are for 1 tube):

- enhancer: 1 µl (if sequence GC rich) - big dye: 1 µl - primer M13: 0.33 µl (10 µM stock=3.3 pmol) - 5X buffer: 1.0 µl - water: 4.67 µl - cleaned template: 2 µl

  • put 8 µl of the mix in strip tubes
  • add 2 µl of template
  • Use a PCR machine for cycle sequecing (SWATI-SEQQ):

lid temp: 110.0°C 96°C: 10 sec 50°C: 5 sec 60°C: 4 min 25°C: pause

Cleaning of the sequencing reaction products by precipitation

Best protocols would be under Purification of DNA.

General Procedure goes as follows

  1. Add 1/10 volume of 3M sodium acetate and 2-3 volumes of 100% Ethanol
  2. Mix and freeze overnight in -20.
  3. Spin at full speed in a standard microcentrifuge at 4 degrees for 30 minutes.
  4. Dry the pellet.
  5. Add your desired quantity of water. Vortex and spin down to resuspend.

6.2- Reagents

6.3- Other consumables

  • sequencing plate
  • septum

6.4- Procedure

  • launch "3100 Avant data coll"
