Validating Alternative Splicing Changes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Alternative splicing changes identified from RNA-seq were validated by RT-PCR using specifically designed primers (Supplementary Table 3). To confirm cassette exons, the primers were adjacent to the predicted splicing event. This approach allowed us to discriminate between variants based on their fragment sizes. For alternative first exon usage (AFE) validation, we have designed primers spanning regions that are unique to the isoform of interest (Fig. 6g), and then normalized the results by the housekeeping gene β-actin. cDNA was amplified using MyTaq Red DNA polymerase (Bioline, London, UK), and PCR products were analyzed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system (Agilent Technologies, Wokingham, U.K.). The molarity of each PCR band corresponding to a specific splice variant was quantified using the 2100 Expert Software (Agilent Technologies, Diegem, Belgium), and used to calculate the ratio inclusion/exclusion (SE) or isoform-X/β-actin (AFE).

Fetal Sex Determination from Rat Placenta

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was isolated from weighed rat placental tissues using Tri Reagent solution, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The purity of the isolated DNA was checked by measuring the A260/A280 ratio and the total DNA concentration was calculated from the A260 measurement.
A single-step PCR method 52 (link) was used to determine foetal sex from the rat placental tissue. Briefly, two unique forward primers for the X chromosome (5’-TTTGTACGACTAGGCCCCAC-3’) and Y chromosome (5’-TTGGTGAGATGGCTGATTCC-3’); and one common reverse primer (3’-GGTTTCTTAAACCGTCGCC-5’) were used for amplifications, yielding amplicons of 692 and 250 bp respectively. Endpoint PCR analysis was carried out in a 25 μl reaction volume using a T100TM Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad). 10 ng of genomic DNA was amplified with the final concentration of 0.2 μM of forward and reverse primers and 0.625 units of MyTaq™ Red DNA Polymerase (Bioline) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. As positive controls, samples of genomic DNA isolated from male and female rat kidney were used. The PCR amplification conditions were as follows: 95°C for 1 minute followed by 30 cycles at 95°C for 15 s, 52°C for 15 s and 72°C for 30 s. Amplicons were separated on a 1.5% agarose gel with the HyperLadder™ 100 bp length marker (Bioline) and imaged for analysis using a ChemiDoc MP detection system (Bio-Rad).

To investigate the stability of the zot-encoding prophages, the V. anguillarum strains PF4, T265 and Ba35 were inoculated from −80°C freezer stocks in MB for 24 h. Then, each culture was serially diluted, spread onto MB agar plates and incubated at room temperature for up to 2 days. After incubation, 50 colonies of each strain were individually inoculated in MB for at least 4 h. Subsequently, the culture was used as a template for PCR, targeting the prophage-related gene, zot, to evaluate the presence of zot-encoding prophages in the individual isolates (Table S1). Conventional PCR analysis was carried out using MyTaq™ Red DNA Polymerase (Bioline, Taunton, MA, USA).

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.
