Lab Meeting Presentation Ping HU
Experiments for Arabidopsis • Design Primers to check the Twinscan annotation of Arabidopsis • Compare the unconfirmed Arabidopsis annotation and the Twinscan predictions
Categorization of Twinscan Predictions Total Prediction: 30634/Total annotation: 28581 Identical to ann: 15063 Not Identical to ann: 15588 Overlap with confirmed ann: 3246 Not overlap with confirmed ann: 12342 Not overlap with any ann: 4394 Overlap with other ann: 7948 Same start/Same stop 2358 Diff start/Same stop 2770 Same start/Diff stop 1879 Diff start/Diff stop 941
UTR Primer Designs • Plate 1: from non-overlapped Twinscan predictions • Plate 2: • Half from non-overlapped TIGR unconfirmed annotation • Half from annotations which differs at the internal structures (same start and stop codon)
Current result from plate 1 • 21 of 90 PCR products have splice sites confirmed (23%) • Problem: • genomic contamination from total RNA • PCR purification
Try to improve cDNA quality • mRNA purification • still have genomic contamination • Yield is very low and could not detect some of the genes
Dnase I treatment Problems • Dnase I treatment: be careful about the time and Rnase contamination
Comparison of three methods M 1 2 3 M 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
PCR purification : need to improve • Check concentration and use SAP and EdonucleaseI treatment
