Purpose: Amplify a “DNA fragment of interest” in genomic DNA, total cDNA, plasmid.

for PCR (to amplify a “DNA fragment of interest)Materials and Methods

1. DNA template

2. Primer (10 pmol)

3. Taq DNA Polymerase

4. dNTPs mixture (10 mM)

5. Taq Buffer 10X and 25 mM MgCl2 mixed

6. 5X band doctor (Purchased from Solgent) use only when template DNA is genomic DNA

PCR machine

1. DNA (genomic DNA isolated from human or Arabidopsis) Stock concentration: 500 ng/ul

2. cDNA (complementary DNA) synthesize from RNA after Reverse Transcriptase (RT)

3. Plasmid DNA Stock concentration: 50 ug/ul

Mixture of Forward and Reverse primer (Listed as detail in your protocol)

Stock 5U/ul, speed of synthesize: 1 minute/1 kb

Summary 1. PCR is a technique which is used to amplify a specific

region of DNA, in order to produce enough DNA to be

adequately tested.

2. PCR is very sensitive

3. PCR need to be well-design and performin optimal condition

Today: Amplify a “DNA fragment of interest” in

genomic DNA, total cDNA, plasmid.
