BPS 3101 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Tandem Repeat, Escherichia Coli, Retrotransposon
Document Summary
Sequence from one clone is used as a probe to screen library of clones to find overlapping ones. Use clone a1 as a probe hybridization on plate of clones a1, f6 and e7. On next grid, use clone f6 as probe hybridization on plate of clones a1, f6 and b12. ___e7__ _____f6___ a1 overlaps with e7 and f6, and f6 but not a1 overlaps with b12, and e7. Note: if there are repetitive sequences on one probe that hybridize to many clones: Instead use short unique sequences mapping close to the end of the clone as a probe. Use dna complementary to repetitive dna to hybridize, so that only unique sequence can hybr. overlaps with a1 but not f6. Design primers for pcr that are based on the sequence at the end of a clone (similar to question 6 on the assignment)
