Circularization and Rolling Circle Amplification[edit]
Protocol page for basic circularization of padlock probes and rolling circle amplification of the finished product. Includes exonuclease digestion to get rid of
Protocol[edit]
- Circularization
- Prepare (N+1)X uL Phusion mix (N samples)
- Add 20 uL Phusion mix to 20 uL of reaction suspended in 1X buffer
- Incubate at 60C for 2 hours
- Heat kill the reaction by incubating for 2 minutes at 94C
- Exonuclease Digestion
- Combine equal molar amounts of Exonuclease I (20U/uL) and Exonuclease III (100U/uL)
- Add 2 uL of mix to each reaction
- Incubate for 30 minutes to 2 hours at 37C
- Heat kill by incubating for 5 minutes at 94C
- Rolling Circle Amplification
- Prepare (N+1)X master mix according to table below
- Add 15 uL master mix to each tube
- Add 5 uL sample to correct reaction tubes
- Incubate at 37C for 3 hours
- Heat kill by incubating at 65C for 10 minutes
