Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Polymeriase chain reaction the most common method for DNA amplification. Detailed information is available at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerase_chain_reaction wikipedia].

Working principle

The PCR is typically based on four steps:

  1. heating to 95°C to separate the DNA double strands
  2. annealing at a temperature specific for the primers to anneal specifically to the template DNA (e.g. 63°C); too low or too high temperature does increases unspecific annealing or prevents any annealing
  3. amplification at the optimal working temperature of the polymerase (Taq, Phusion eg.)(72-74°C)
  4. a number of repeat from 1-3 for 25-35 times

Mixtures

PCR I NEB Phusion (50 µL batch)

    • dNTPs 1 µL
    • Primer up (10 picomol/µL) 1 µL
    • Primer lo (10 picomol/µL) 1 µL
    • Template 1 µL
    • MgCl2(50mM) 0.5 µL
    • DMSO 1.5 µL
    • 5x Phusion Buffer / GC Buffer 10µL
    • ddH2O 34.5 µL
    • NEB Phusion Polymerase 0.5 µL

PCR II House-Taq (50 µL batch)

    • dNTPs 1µL
    • Primer up (10 picomol/µL) 1 µL
    • Primer lo (10 picomol/µL) 1 µL
    • Template 1 µL
    • DMSO 1.5 µL
    • 5x GoTaq Buffer 10 µL
    • ddH2O 35.5 µL
    • House-Taq Polymerase 1 µL

PCR III NEB Q5 (50 µL batch)

    • dNTPs 1 µL
    • Primer up (10 picomol/µL) 1 µL
    • Primer lo (10 picomol/µL) 1 µL
    • Template 1 µL
    • 5x Q5 Reaction Buffer 10 µL
    • Q5 GC Enhancer 10µL
    • ddH2O 34.5 µL
    • NEB Q5 Polymerase 0.5 µL

SOE PCR

Unlike PCR I-III the premix is done without adding any primers, but just the two annealing templates. After 10 cycles the Primer up and lo are added.
