1. Experimental Process

1.1 Standard PCR

Recommended PCR System:
Keep all components on ice during the experiment. All components need to be mixed thoroughly after thawing and put back at -20℃ immediately after using.

a. For pre-denaturation, the recommended temperature is 95℃, and the recommended time is 30 sec for plasmid / virus DNA and 3 min for genomic DNA / cDNA.
b. For annealing, the recommended temperature is the Tm of the primers. If the Tm of the primers is higher than 72℃, the annealing step can be removed (two-step PCR). If necessary, annealing temperature can be further optimized in a gradient. In addition, the amplification specificity depends directly on the annealing temperature. Raising annealing temperature is helpful to improve poor amplification specificity.
c. Longer extension time is helpful to increase the amplification yield.

6.2 Long Range PCR

Genie Fusion Ultra High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase can perform a long-range amplification with high specificity and yields. If the standard PCR protocol (Section 6.1) yields insufficient results, the following Touch-Down, two-step PCR is recommended.

It is recommended to use high-quality templates and long primers. Increasing the input of template DNA may be helpful to improve the amplification yield.
