TaqMan SNP Assay

Materials

  • TaqMan® Genotyping Assay (supplied at 20X, 40X or 80X) (Applied Biosystems).
  • TaqMan® Genotyping Master Mix (supplied at 2X)(Applied Biosystems).
  • StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems).
  • PC/Laptop with StepOnePlus Software installed.
  • MicroAmp Fast 96-Well Plates.
  • Optical Plate Covers.
  • Nuclease-Free Water
  • Sample Genomic DNA (extracted as described in Blood DNA Extraction)
  • Postive control(s) (Minor allele) (optional, but recommended)


Protocol

  1. Dilute gDNA samples to 20ng/ul approx.
  2. Place gDNA, TaqMan® Genotyping Master Mix (40X), TaqMan® Genotyping Assay (2X) on ice.
  3. Make up Reaction Master mix (TaqMan® Genotyping Master Mix (40X), TaqMan® Genotyping Assay (2X): see table below).
  4. Add Reaction Mix (5.25 ul) added to each well (Table 1.)
  5. Diluted gDNA samples each added to a single well (Table 1.)
