RNA: Total RNA of tissues of interest. Prepare yourself or commercially available from Clontech etc.
*Reverse transcriptase: Superscript II (Gibco/Invitrogen) or others.
*10 mM 4dNTP: 10 mM each of dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP mixed. Diluted from
100 mM stock reagents (Amerciam pharmacia). *pdN9: random nonamer (Takara)
*PCR primers: I usually dissolve the powder to 100 uM and make working solution containing 5 uM each of primer pairs.
*PCR enzymes
KOD polymerase (TOYOBO): with strong proof reading activity ExTaq polymerase (Takara): Used for TA cloning
*DMSO: Used for PCR enhancement. Keep aliquoted @ -20C.
*10xloading buffer:
*1xloading buffer: dilute 10x buffer with TE
*1% agarose gel: melt 1g of agarose (for molecular biology) to 100 ml of TAE
buffer by electric oven. Add 5 ul of 10 mg/ml Ethidium bromide. *TAE buffer:
