Plan for probe preparation for Matt's project

  • Continued from: http://genome-tech.ucsd.edu/LabNotes/index.php/Noi/NOTES/2013-2-27#Plan_for_probe_preparation_for_Matt.27s_project
  • 2013/03/06: received seed oligos from CustomArray
  • Seed oligo information
    • 200 nt
    • Total amount 4.95ug (61.93ng/ul in total volume 80ul in TE buffer)
  • Calculate MW of 200 nt probe = 200nt * 308.9D/bp + 79D = 61859 g/mol
  • 61.93ng/ul = 1.00114 ~ 1 uM or 1000 nM --> calculated from: 61.93(ng/ul)/61,859(g/mol) need to convert the unit to mol/L at the end
  • Aliquot 2ul of 61.93ng/ul oligos for PAGE verification & save original tube with Matt
  • Since the concentration is quit high, I will dilute to 100nM first (in 100ul) then dilute to 20uM (in 200ul)
- To dilute from 1uM to 100nM volume 100ul: mix 10ul of 1uM oligos (61.93 ng/ul) with 90ul H2O
- To dilute from 100nM to 20nM volume 200ul: mix 40ul of 100nM oligos with 160ul H2O

    • After I diluted oligos to 100nM, I measured the oligo concentration by Nanodrop: 10.5 ng/ul (after dilute 10X, expected conc. ~ 6.1ng/ul)

Expansion PCR Test

  • Test if the PCR works in small volume (50ul) by using LC Sciences oligoes as +ve control
    • 1. NTC
    • 2. +ve control 1nM LC Sciences oligos
    • 3. 1nM 12k CustomArray oligos
Components Volume (ul) Final conc. Volume for 3.5 rxn mix
20nM seed oligoes 2.50 1nM 0.00
eMIP_CA1_F (100uM) 0.20 400nM 0.70
eMIP_CA1_R (100uM) 0.20 400nM 0.70
2x KAPA SYBG fast MM 25.00 1x 87.50
H2O 22.10 77.35
Total 50.00 175.00
  • Aliquot 47.5ul, add 2.5ul of DNA template

Program
95C 30sec -> (95C 5sec -> 52C 60sec-> 72C 30sec) x 5 -> (95C 5sec -> 60C 30sec-> 72C 30sec) x 10 -> 72C 2min -> 15C hold

Result

  • After I did 15 cycles of amplification, only reaction with LC sciences oligo works, but very small signal from 12k CustomArray oligos was observed (<500 fluorescent intensity, using Eppendorrf). This is possible that there are only 10-15% of the full-length in the oligo pools as Marcelo mentioned in email.

Repeat Expansion PCR Test

  • I repeat amplification by increasing amount of oligos to 5X, 10X, and 20X, and used the 100nM oligos as the template. I am not sure if the high concentration of oligos containing the majority of truncated oligos will interfere the PCR that much or not
  • I also increase extension time to 45 sec even 30 sec is enough to synthesize 200nt DNA fragment, and increase the second step PCR to 15 cycles (total = 20 cycles). This is just to monitor the qPCR curve of each concentration.
    • 1. NTC
    • 2. +ve control 1nM LC Sciences oligos
    • 3. 5nM 12k CustomArray oligos (5X, added 1.25ul of 100nM in 25ul reaction)
    • 4. 10nM 12k CustomArray oligos (10X, added 2.5ul of 100nM in 25ul reaction)

PAGE verification

O = 2ul of 12k oligos from original tubes
  • Note: I loaded 2.5ul of PCR products in TBU gel, so the size might be slightly different compared to in TBE gel. However, from the gel image, the size of amplicons is very close to 200bp fragment. I loaded PCR products in TBU gel becuase I didn't want to waste the TBU gel used for single strand oligos verification
  • From the image above, the amount of oligos in 2ul from original tubes was very high, but they all a smear. This is similar to what I observed when I ran the oligos from LC Sciences.
  • Since I used very high concentration of oligo templates, the smear DNA were observed.
  • For expansion PCR, I may not amplify as high as 20 cycles as in the test run. Need to decide the amount of oligos will be used for expansion PCR if I will amplify 15 cycles.

  • Dr. Zhang suggested to do expansion PCR using 100nM oligos

 by loading the same amount of DNA before and after incubation with each enzyme at the same amount
