*Primers – order from IDT prediluted to 100 mM in TE.  Make working solution of 1 uM (100x) in water with both sense and antisense primers combined (300uL water, 3uL of each primer)
*Primers – order from IDT prediluted to 100 mM in TE.  Make working solution of 0.4uM-1 uM (100x) in water with both sense and antisense primers combined (300uL water, 3uL of each primer)
*dNTPs – dilute to 2 mM each in water, make single use aliquots (50 uL aliquots... 10uL of each dNTP, 460uL water)
*DreamTaq Green PCR Master mix - contains dNTPs, polymerase, salts, and buffer with loading dye  https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/K1081?ICID=search-product#/K1081?ICID=search-product
*Template – generally 1uL or less of a plasmid miniprep
*RNAse-Free water - comes in DreamTaq kit
*Polymerase – use Pfu Turbo for cloning and Taq for noncloning.  Use appropriate buffer.

::*Buffer, 5 uL of 10X buffer (Dave's fridge)
::*12.5 uL DreamTaq
::*Primers, 10uL of 1uM stock solution in water (both primers combined)
::*7.5 uL RNAse-Free water
::*dNTPs, 5uL of 2 mM ("molecular biology stuff" box in freezer)
::*5.0 uL Working stock Primer (of 0.4-1uM stock solution in water (both primers combined))
::*Sterile water, 28 uL
 
::*Template 1 uL
==PCR Program==
::*Polymerase 1 uL (turbo pfu found in "enzymes" box in freezer)
*For animals: use programs denoted in [[Genotyping Program]]


*Run PCR Program (approx 3.5 to 4 hours).  Normally use touchdown PCR ('''DAVETD''') as follows:
