Exp. 1 Bisulfite conversion of genomic DNA with EpiTect kit[edit]
Genomic DNA samples (conc. measured by Nanodrop):
- DNA RL (from Dr. Huidong Shi), 185ng/ul
- Jurkat gDNA (from NEB), 194ng/ul
Resuspend one vial of Bisulfite Mix in 800ul nuclease free water, votex for 5min. Set up reactions:
RL Jurkat DNA 5ul x 2 5ul x 2 Water 15ul x 2 15ul x 2 Bisulfite mix 85ul x 2 85ul x 2 DNA Protection Buffer 35ul x 2 35ul x 2
Perform the bisulfite conversion on PTC-200 using the EpiTect program 99C5min->60C20min->99C5min->60C1h25min->99C5min->60C2h55min->20Chold.
Follow the EpiTect protocol to clean up the bisulphite converted DNAs. Check with argarose gel.
I measured the DNA concentration with Nanodrop. They are unusually high (>1ug/ul), and the OD260/280 ratio is also too high ~3.4. I'm wondering whether it is due to precipitants in the buffer BD. Need to give Qiagen's tech support a call.
