Question

Given the information, can someone help me answer this question? 2. Perform the necessary calculations for setting up the stitch PCR. Notes for calculations: Final GoTaq reaction buffer should be 1x Final MgCl2 concentration should be 3 mM Final dNTP concentration should be 200 HM Use 2 L of each template DNA (AB product and CD product) Final primer concentration should be 1 uM (each) Stitch PCR 5x GoTaq reaction buffer 25 mM MgCl2 10 mM dNTP mix Template: AB product Template: CD product 10 uM fwd primer 10 uM rev primer Sterile water Total 50 u

Sterile water

27 microliter

Total volume

50 microliter

1) 5X Go Taq reaction buffer:

It is diluted 1: 5 to get 1X from stock of 5X solution.

If final volume is 10 microliters, 10 +40= 50. Hence, 10 microliters of reaction buffer is added.

2) 25 mM MgCl2

Required is 3 mM in 50 microliters

C1V1=C2V2

25 mM X a= 3 mM X 50 microliter

a=6 microliters

3) 10 mM (millimolar) of dNTPS

Required is 200 micromolar dNTP

1 mM= 1000 micromolar

C1V1= C2 V2

10 * 1000 micromolar X a= 200 micromolar X 50 microliter

a= 1 microliter

4) Template AB and CD are added as 2 microliters each

5) 10 micromolar of forward and reverse primer

Required is 1 micromolar

A 1: 10 dilution needs to be performed. Hence, volume added is 1 microliter each.

6) Sterile water = 50 microliter – (sum of all reagents)= 50 –(10+6+1+2+2+1+1)= 50-23= 27 microliter
