Sequencing of Genomic DNA

Genomic DNA Fragmentation

Use Bioruptor.

  • issolve 1 ug of genomic DNA in 300 ul of TE.

  • 1 min pulse (4 C, energy level: high) x 15 cycles.

Use Covaris S2.

  • Dissolve 1 ug of genomic DNA in 120 ul of TE.

  • Add DNA to micro-tube, run 100 bp protocol x 2.

Add RNase A and incubate at 37 C for 30 min.

Purify DNA fragment using Qiagen minelute.

Size-selection

  • 1. Run DNA on 1% Lithium Borate agarose gel with 1x SYBR-Safe at 300V.

  • 2. Cut the 100 or 300 bp DNA band under blue light.

  • 3. Purify DNA using Qiagen Minilute.
