DNA preparation by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (isolation of mammalian cell and tissue DNA)
This protocol describes methods for preparing DNA samples from cultured cells and tissues. Leukocytes of patient or animal origin can also be used as high molec
Recovery of DNA fragments from polyacrylamide gels (crush and soak method)
The standard method for recovering DNA from polyacrylamide gels is the "crush and soak" technique first introduced by Maxam and Gilbert (1977). The eluted DNA i
Southern hybridization of radiolabeled probes with membrane-immobilized nucleic acids
The signal intensity obtained by Southern hybridization depends on several factors, including the ratio of immobilized DNA complementary to the probe, the size
Oligonucleotides and excess dNTP were removed from DNA amplification products by ultrafiltration.
At the end of the PCR reaction, it is essential to remove oligonucleotide primers, primer dimers and dNTP from the amplified DNA product. This experiment is bas
The cloned PCR product is ligated into a T vector.
DNA fragments amplified by Taq DNA polymerase PCR with a 3' prominent A base are efficiently cloned into T vectors that have an unpaired 3' T base complementary
Restriction endonuclease digestion of DNA in agarose gel plugs
Chromosomal DNA isolated from mammalian cells, yeast or bacteria can be digested in agarose plugs with the desired endonuclease. The low melting point agarose p
Phosphorylation of 5' prominence DNA molecules by exchange reaction
The T4 phage polynucleotide kinase-catalyzed exchange reaction (Van de Sande et al. 1973; Berkner and Folk 1977) is a rapid method for labeling 5' end DNA. Unli
Long-range PCR
Under standard PCR reaction conditions, PCR amplification of DNA fragments is generally 1-2 kb in length, which is sufficient for many routine DNA molecular man
