Synthetic DNA and RNA oligonucleotides were obtained from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). The nucleic acids were dissolved in RNase-free deionized water at a concentration of 1 mM. To assemble the scaffold, template DNA and RNA were mixed at a 1:1 ratio, annealed by incubation at 95°C for 2 min, 75°C for 2 min, 45°C for 5 min, and then decreasing the temperature by 5°C every 2 min until reaching 25°C. The annealed template DNA:RNA hybrid was stored at −20°C until use.

Oligonucleotide Design for Sequence Evolution

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA and RNA oligonucleotides (listed in Supplementary Table S1) were from Integrated DNA Technologies and if necessary were purified, by denaturing PAGE (8 M urea, TBE). The 2 poly-T (,T4, T6) and 3 poly-A (T5, T7, T8) starting sequences consist of 69 nt, containing an either 39 nt poly-A or poly-T sequence flanked by different 15 nucleotide (nt) primer binding sites on both ends (Supplementary Table S1). The sequences were designed with nonoverlapping primer binding sites to avoid cross contamination from different evolution-selection experiments.

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.
