General protocol for PCR
Each person uses a slightly different ratio of reagents.
For DNA amplicons up to 500 bp, use 25 uL reaction volumes as follows:
On ice add to thin-walled pcr tubes
0.125 uL Taq polymerase (1.25 U, Gibco)
2.5 uL of 10 x PCR buffer minus Mg (1x)
0.75 uL of 50 mM MgCl2 (1.5 mM)
x uL template DNA (25-50 ng genomic dna)
0.5 uL of 10 mM dNTP mix (0.2 mM)
1.25 uL 10 uM primer mix (0.5 uM)
water to 25 uL
If DNA amplicon is >500 bp, scale-up the reactions for 50 or 100 uL total
volume. Program thermocycler appropriately and perform PCR reactions. 100
ng genomic dna is roughly right , depending on complexity, quality etc.
Just wondering why increasing the volume would help for longer products?
The above protocol was pulled from a protocol where the total yield is
important, specifically to produce enough product for sequencing reactions.
Generally the yield drops a bit with longer products, so the rule of thumb
solution was to increase the total volume. These measures are simply to
conserve reagents.
Buffer
1.25u Taq per 50ul PCR (add last)
MgCl2 1.5mM
200uM dNTPs
0.5uM each primer
30ng human xsomal (10,000copies)
water to 50ul

I have been doing PCR with cDNA from phage library. Initially my PCR worked with 2.5pM of primers (final concentration) though the yield was low. Now, there is no amplification though the reaction condition is still the same. Can anyone help me solve this? Plz suggest me what else can be done.

Hi,
Can we use restriction digested genomic DNA as template for a normal PCR reaction?

hi all
i have a question. can anyone please answer?
Can we use RAPD-PCR for studying polymorphism in insects belonging to a particular family or can it be used only to study the same species from different ecotypes?
thanks

RE 'dear sir/madam,
can you please help me with this basic question... as to why genomic DNA cannot be used as template to PCR amplify a particular gene using primers for that gene??'
This is not possible, as in most cases your gene of interest would contain intronic regions, which if your're for instance trying to clone your gene, would not be ideal for expression.

you should try this:
1) blast your primers,
2) test different [MgCl2] (from 1 to 4 mM final)
3) use longer annealing time (to promote denaturation of false pairing),
4) higher annealing temperature (to avoid false pairing)
5) longer polymerization time ( to leave polymerase more time to amplify : 1min/kbp)
Good luck and Enjoy PCR !!!

have some trouble with PCR just checked and the only difference I found was that I'm using MgSO4 instead of MgCl2 could this be the problem?
thanks

dear sir/madam ,
ihave done PCR using 100 ng DNA. but i am gettin smaller band size after amplification.my desired band size is a5oo bp. but i am geting approx 300 bp only.
shall i increase my extension time or i should do any modification in annealing temperature.
kindly help me out.

here i wanted to ask that with previously standardized conditions sometimes i get variable results
like some tiomes intensity of the product band is very low
sometimes product does not come at all when different strains used
plz reply what can b the possibility

Actually you should optimize your DNA concentration and your MgCl2 concentration before running your experiment. Different polymerases and DNAs can amplify differently under different conditions. (did that sentence make sense?) For procedures like RAPDS and ISSRs:
I use 25ul reactions with the following:
2 - 4 mM MgCl2
10 - 100ng DNA
200uM ea dNTP
10 -20 picomoles primer
1 unit polymerase
2.5uL 10X polymerase buffer stock solution
add water to volume of 25ul
