Taq hot start dna polymerase

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in Germany, United States

Taq Hot-Start DNA polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of DNA. It is designed to remain inactive at lower temperatures, preventing non-specific amplification, and becomes active at higher temperatures required for DNA denaturation and primer annealing.

Real time-RT-PCR, using the SYBR ® Green method, was performed to quantify mRNA expression as previous describe (Boonjaraspinyo et al., 2012a) . PCRs were set up in 96-well real-time PCR plates. The PCR reaction mixture comprised 2 µl of 10x HotStart Taq buffer, 1 µl of 5 mM dNTP, 2.4 µl of 25 mM MgCl2, 1 µl of 5 µM primer pairs, 0.2 µl of HotStart Taq DNA polymerase (Fermentas Inc., Ontario, Canada) and 6.4 µl of distilled water to give a final volume of 20 µl. Three µl of cDNA template was added to the reaction mixture and the plate briefly spun down. The analysis was performed using an Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System. All values were normalized relative to a standard curve and reported as a copy number change over the background of housekeeping gene (G3PDH) level.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA from tissues was extracted using a QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Germany). Genomic DNA extracted from tissues was treated with sodium bisulfite using an EZ DNA Methylation-GoldTM kit (Zymo Research, USA). Multiplex methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was performed in a 25-μL volume reaction system that consisted of 50 ng sodium bisulfite-treated DNA, isometric mixture of gene primers 3 μL, 2×Master Mix 12.5 μL (Qiagen, Germany) and ddH2O. The multiplex MSP primer sequences for SEPT9 [20 (link)] and β-actin [21 ] are illustrated in Additional file 2: Table S2. We performed Hot-start PCR at an annealing temperature of 60 °C using hot-start Taq DNA polymerase (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Targeted sequencing of candidate SNPs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primers for each candidate SNP were designed as nested pairs using Primer3 (refs. 54 (link),55 (link)). External amplicons were fixed at 400–800 bp, and internal amplicons were fixed at 250–300 bp. Internal primer pairs had partial Illumina adaptor sequences added to allow the construction of barcoded Illumina libraries. Tail sequences are: left adaptor 5′-ACACTCTTTCCCTACAC GACGCTCTTCCGATCT-3′, right adaptor 5′-TCGGCATTCCTGCTGAACC GCTCTTCCGATCT-3′. PCR was performed using hot start Taq DNA polymer-ase according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Scientific). PCR1 (external primers) used a touchdown PCR approach for increased specificity. The products of PCR1 were diluted 100× and used as a template for PCR2, which added the partial Illumina adaptor tails. Candidate SNP PCRs for the same tumor were then pooled, and each tumor was barcoded with a different full-length Illumina adaptor barcode in a short PCR3 (15 cycles), so that each tumor could be decoded after sequencing. Resulting tumor-specific PCRs were pooled, cleaned up with 0.8× AmpureXP beads (Beckman Coulter), quantified and run on an Illumina MiSeq 150-bp PE run.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
It has been previously described and shown in Table 1 about what the methylation and unmethylation-sensitive primers of LOC134466 and TAC1 were used in the study. In a 25 μl reaction mixture, we amplify 1.5 μl of bisulfite-converted DNA. The reaction mixture contained 200 μM dNTPs, 10X reaction buffer, 2.5 mM MgCL2, 10 pM forward and reverse primers, as well as 1 U of FastTaq (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Bisulfite-modified DNA was then amplified with two primer sets that differentiate methylated from unmethylated DNA. Meanwhile, we performed Hot-start PCR at an annealing temperature of 60 °C using hot-start Taq DNA polymerase (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cases in which methylated alleles were present were repeated once again for confirmation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
