Prepare Reagents

Primers - Flot et al. 2008

  • Forward primer FatP6.1 (Added 50µl of stock 2mg/ml plus 950µl of Nuclease Free water and made 3 aliquots of ~320µl each and stored in reagent box at -20)
  • FatP6.1 (5′-TTTGGGSATTCGTTTAGCAG-3′)
  • Reverse primer RORF (Added 50µl of stock 2mg/ml plus 950µl of Nuclease Free water and made 3 aliquots of ~320µl each and stored in reagent box at -20)
  • RORF (5′-SCCAATATGTTAAACASCATGTCA-3′)
  • Master Mix EmeraldAmp GT PCR Master Mix
  • EmeraldAmp GT PCR Master Mix is a loading-dye-added version of EmeraldAmp MAX PCR Master Mix that is optimized for great performance and convenience in both standard and high-throughput PCR applications. EmeraldAmp GT PCR Master Mix was recieved warm on arrival and stored at -20°C

  • [72°C 5 minutes] 1 cycle
  • [4°C infinity]

PCR Gel protocol

DNA was assessed with a 1.5% agarose gel in 1x TAE buffer (1.15g agarose in 75ml of 1X TAE, Tris base, acetic acid and EDTA) run at for 30 mins at 100 V and stained with 2µl Biotium GelGreen Nucleic Acid Gel Stain (10,000X in Water Fisher Cat NC9728313). 4µl of sample or ladder were added to each well of the gel.

Gel Results

Pocillopora mtORF PCR Ulithi

Pocillopora mtORF PCR Ulithi

Bands of ~1000 bp are present in all samples except the negative control for the mtORF amplicons. Sog poci 2 Sog poci 4 are faint and all bands are lighter than last Poc PCR, so I am adding a higher concentration of PCR product to the Sanger sequence prep below.

PCR Cleanup

  • Made fresh 80% ethanol by adding 8ml 100% ethanol and 2ml of nucelase free water for 10mL total

  • Added 20µl of KapaPure beads to each of 10 PCR samples and pipetted up and down to mix and bind DNA to the beads

  • Incubated the samples at RT for 10 minutes

  • After incubation, placed the plate on the magnet for 1min until the solution was clear and removed the supernatant from every well into the waste trough

  • Added 200ul of freshly made 80% EtOH to each well carefully without disturbing the beads.

  • Removed the clear supernatant from each well without disturbing the beads and discard into the waste trough.

  • Repeated the 80% ethanol washes and removals for a total of 2 times.

  • While the plate was on the magnet used the p20 multichannel pipette to remove any remaining ethanol at the bottom of the wells of the plate

  • Waited ~3-5 minutes to let any residual ethanol to dry and took the plate off the magnet into a regular rack.

Do not overdry the beads

  • Added 20ul of Zymo Elution Buffer to each well of the plate and mixed beads into resuspension by pipetting.

  • Removed 20ul of clear supernatant from each well and into a new tubes

  • set up a Sanger sequencing

Sanger sequencing setup

  • set up a Sanger sequencing

  • Diluted FatP6.1 Forward primer to 3.2 µM (50µL 10µM primer + 100µL of nucelase free water)

  • Added 5µl of nucease free water, 5µl from each sample, and 2µL of FatP6.1 Forward primer (at 3.2 µM) into tubes

  • Labelled the tubes HP1 - HP10 and submitted to Parmacy building URI CRCF
