DNA CONSIDERATIONS

Success has been achieved using DNA from kits by Qiagen, Promega and Bio 101. For optimum results for purifying PCR product before sequencing, we recommend centricon-100 columns,Amicon PCR Kit and Qiagen QIAquick PCR kit.

The recommended quantities of DNA are as follows:

Phage DNA 50-100 ng -5ul /per reaction

Plasmid DNA 250-500 ng- 6ul /per reaction

All DNA should be resuspended in dH20 .

PCR product: The amount of template to use in a cycle sequencing reaction.


    100-200 bp -1-3 ng
    200-500 bp -3-10 ng
    500-1000 bp -5-20 ng
    1000-2000 bp -10-40 ng

If possible, quantitate the amount of purified DNA by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm or by some other method.
