All qPCR assays were previously published (vasa, gsdf, cyp19a1a, amh; Skaftnesmo et al., 2021 (link)). A qPCR reaction was prepared to contain 800 nM of each forward and reverse primer, 250 nM of the probe in a 6 µl reaction containing 1x concentration of the TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 2 µl of a 1/20 diluted cDNA. The reaction was subjected to thermocycling in a QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with an initial hold at 50°C for 2 min followed by an initial denaturation step at 95°C for 2 min. Thermocycling was conducted for 40 cycles using a denaturation step at 95°C for 1 s followed by a combined annealing and extension step at 60°C for 30 s. Data was processed at Thermo Fisher cloud using the relative quantification app. QPCR was performed in duplicates in 384-well optical plates in a QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR system (ThermoFisher Scientific). No-template controls for each gene were run in all qPCR plates. The relative gene expression level was calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method. All values were normalized to ef1a and calibrated to the average ΔCt of the controls of each sex.

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.
