Question

1. Perform the necessary calculations for setting up the AB and CD PCRs. Notes for calculations: Final GoTaq reaction buffer should be 1x Final MgCl2 concentration should be 3 mM Final dNTP concentration should be 200 uM Use 1 L of purified rDNA (make sure you use rDNA that contains the fragment that corresponds to your gene of interest) Final primer concentration should be 1 HM (each) Use 5 U GoTaq per reaction Total volume should be 50 L ab PCR cd PCR 5x GoTaq reaction buffer 25 mM MgCl2 10 mM dNTP mix 1 uL of purified rDNA 10 uM fwd primer 10 uM rev primer 5 Units/ul GoTaq Sterile water Total 50 ul 50 ul
