Protocol 29436: Standard PCR Assay - Gt(ROSA)26Sor(tdTomato-WPRE)
Version 2.2

Notes

Melt curve analysis is done using a Roche Light Cycler 480.
The genotyping protocol(s) presented here have been optimized for reagents and conditions used by The Jackson Laboratory (JAX). To genotype animals, JAX recommends researchers validate the assay independently upon receipt of animals into their facility. Reaction cycling temperature and times may require additional optimization based on the specific genotyping reagents used.

Expected Results

Mutant Tm = 81°C +/- 1.0°C
Wild type Tm = 87°C +/- 1.0°C

Mutant  = 196 bp
Heterozygote = 297 bp and 196 bp
Wild type = 297 bp

For Stock# 012567
Mutant = ~315 bp
Wild type = 297 bp
 
For Stock #7914
Mutant = ~200 bp
Wild type = 297 bp

JAX uses a very high speed Taq (~1000 bp/sec), use cycling times recommended for your reagents.
JAX uses a 'touchdown' cycling protocol and therefore has not calculated the optimal annealing temperature for each set of primers.
