Thirty types of poly-A tailed DNA barcode molecules were prepared by referring to the sequence of Helicos control oligo. Firstly, we added a poly-A tail to the oligonucleotides (Supplementary Table 1) by incubating 10 µl of mixture consisting of 10 µM oligonucleotide mix, 1× TdT buffer, 250 µM CoCl2, 240 µM dATP, and 1 U/µl of terminal transferase at 37 °C for 1 h and 70 °C for 10 min followed by a 4-°C hold. Secondly, the sample was added to 10 µl of mixture consisting of 1× TdT buffer, 250 µM CoCl2, 160 µM biotin-11-ddATP (PerkinElmer), and 2 U/µl terminal transferase (NEB) and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h, and 70 °C for 10 min followed by a 4-°C hold.

Radioactive Labeling of CRISPR Substrates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All oligonucleotides were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies. Sequences of all DNA substrates are shown in Table S2. Prespacers and minimal dsDNA CRISPR arrays were hybridized by heating to 95 °C for 5 minutes and slow cooling to room temperature in oligo annealing buffer (20 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 25 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2) and purified on 8% native PAGE. Prespacers were labeled with [γ-32P]-ATP (PerkinElmer) and T4 polynucleotide kinase (NEB) for 5'-end labelling or with [α-32P]-dATP (PerkinElmer) and Terminal Transferase (NEB) for 3'-end labelling. The double-stranded minimal CRISPRs were labeled with [α-32P]-dATP (PerkinElmer) and Klenow-fragment (NEB) for 3'-end labelling.

Radiolabeling of DNA Substrates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA substrates were 5′ end-labeled with [γ-32P]ATP and T4 polynucleotide kinase as we described (32 (link)). DNA substrates were 3′ 32P-labeled by incubating 40 pmol of the appropriate SS DNA with 30 units of terminal transferase (Perkin Elmer) in the presence of [α-32P]dCTP according to the manufacturer's protocol. The 32P-labeled SS DNA was annealed to non-labeled DNAs to prepare indicated DNA substrates for DNA cleavage assay.

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.
