----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common components: Ex Taq buffer, dNTP mix
Aim 1: check contamination in Rui water; 10pg RNA sample
Aim 2: check primer hetero-dimer
SYBR(-) and Taq(-) are negative control

*The amplification from contamination comes from steps above PCR
*The template could possible come from primer (P1), 72bp+54bp=126bp at least

*Titration of Exonuclease I to remove primer 1?
*If following Tang's protocol for IVT, extra primer 1 still could have problem for IVT.
*Try ABi IVT kit?

Clone PCR product from PCR-based protocol

*Original TA cloning kit (p2.1 w/o TOPO -- needs ligase)
*Use NEB quick ligation kit instead of T4 ligase provided from TA cloning kit
*Ligation reaction sets up to 10ul (1ul:1ul PCR:p2.1; 5ul buffer; 0.5ul ligase; 5ul water), 5min at R.T.
*4 tubes (NTC-ES, NTC-EB, 10pg-EB, 500pg-EB)
