Comparison of MDA using N6, LN6 and N9 primers
- The objective of this experiment is to compare the amplification bias of several variants of MDA protocols:
- Control: N6 primer: 30C
- LN6 (LNA primer): 30C, 37C, 30C + trehalose
- N9: 30C + trehalose
- The template DNA is GM20431, 30pg/reaction (10 copies of diploid genome)
- Two replicates of GM20431 and NTC (20 reactions in total)
Prepare Alkaline Lysis Solution (ALS) and Neutralization Solution (NS)
- ALS: (400mM KOH, 100mM DTT, 10mM EDTA)
- Prepare 5M KOH: weigh one KOH pallet, add nuclease free H2O to make 5M KOH. Make fresh solution every week.
- Mix 8ul 5M KOH, 10ul 1M DTT, 102ul nuclease free H2O.
- NS buffer (0.4M HCl, 0.6M Tris.HCl pH 7.5):
Set up MDA reactions
- Perform serial dilution of GM20431 gDNA to 30pg/ul.
- Perform UV treatment of ALS and NS buffer 10ul/tube for 5 min;
- Prepare 2X SYBR Green I solution from the 50X stock solution;
- Mix 1ul template with 1.5ul ALS buffer, RT for 3min;
- Transfer to cool block;
- Add 1.5ul NS buffer;
- Add 16ul Master mix:

- Incubate at 30C for 10h on Opticon4, take one fluorescent read every 6 minutes.
