Comments on protocol:
o
o
Use Touch-Down cycling protocol-first 10 cycles anneal at 65 C decreasing in temperature by 1.0 C; next 30 cycles
o
anneal at 55 C.
Betaine/DMSO is standardized due to high GC content in promoter regions and protocol may be tested without. Also, may
adjust MgCl2 to increase reaction or decrease non specific amplifications.
Strategy:
Steps
1. Initiation/Melting
2. Denaturation
3. Annealing
4. Elongation
5. Amplification
6. Finish
