probe making

cloning y fragment 2nd intron: Gel extracted bright band amplified from linear full-length yellow.   test gel for probe synthesis, rather variable efficiency. Probe order: bio-probes (3uL diluted), then dig probes (at 1uL diluted). hb-full, pnr-exon (A), y-full, sna, ths(A) … Continue reading
