Preparation for Sanger Sequencing
Objective
- Clones grew well after overnight incubation, prepare clones for sanger sequencing. (a bit overgrown and most of the clones are blue in color, we can either plate a smaller volume of tranformation mixture or dilute 10 fold with soc before plating)
Protocol
PCR amplification and preparation for sanger sequencing
- Add 12.5ul of 100ul of F and R primer and add 475ul sterile h2o to make 2.5uM primer mix
Content | Volume per reaction | MM |
DNA | Pick one colony per well | Do not add to MM |
H2O | 25 | 205 |
M13-21 F+R Primer (2.5uM each) | 8 | 65.6 |
2X Taq MM | 15 | 123 |
Total | 48 | 393.6 |
- Add 48ul MM to each colony
94C 10 min to break up the cells 94C 30 sec -> (94C for 30 sec, 60C for 30 sec, 72C for 1 min) x30 -> 72C 5 min ->15C forever
PAGE
File:ZhangLab 2 2011-08-19 16hr 58min.jpg
Results
- For some reason, no amplicons were formed, I suspect the ligation failed
Troubleshoot
- Either the polymerase or the pcr condition is not optimised, I will test both parameters with the control reactions to test the activity of the polymerase
Producing the Control PCR Product
Content | Volume per Reaction |
Control DNA template (100ng) | 1 |
M13 F+R (2.5uM each) | 8 |
Sterile water | 16 |
TagMM | 25 |
Total Volume | 50 |
94C 30 sec -> (94C for 30 sec, 60C for 30 sec, 72C for 1 min) x30 -> 72C 5 min ->15C forever
Page Gel Analysis
File:ZhangLab 2 2011-08-23 18hr 26min.jpg
Results
- No amplicons seen on page gel, I guess the polymerase has gone bad, will repeat with a new tube of taq polymerase
- I double checked the condition for PCR and there are no obvious error.
- Will repeat experiment with Invitrogen supplied primers, new tube of NEX Taq2X mastermix with the control DNA
Troubleshooting
Content | Volume per reaction | Content | Volume per reaction |
Control DNA Template (100ng) | 1 | Control DNA Template (100ng) | 1 |

Invitrogen:M13-F | 2 | Sterile Water | 16 |
Sterile Water | 20 | NEB Taq2X MM | 25 |

94C 30 sec -> (94C for 30 sec, 60C for 30 sec, 72C for 1 min) x30 -> 72C 5 min ->15C forever
- Appears that the polymerase is not the problem, but the primers.
- Check the primers ordered
- Sequence ordered
- M13 Reverse
- CAGGAAACAGCTATGAC
- Invitrogen M13R
- CAGGAAACAGCTATGAC
- M13 Forward
- GACCGGCAGCAAAATG
- Invitrogen M13F
- GTAAAACGACGGCCAG
- Order for M13F was reversed, will discard the forward primer and use the ones from the kit for now.
