Chromatin Paints, Library 2 finalization.

Updates to code

  • fixed bug in matching region names to sub-libraries
  • fixed bug in screening for nick sites.

Error checking

  • spot check Drosophila sequences by using flybase BLAST of randomly selected sequences from final library to genome.
  • sequence alignment should be unique
  • sequences from same sub-library should map near by
  • sequences should map to the same gene/chromatin-region they are labeled as
  • UCSC BLAT actually does good alignment on the browser. Mouse database doesn’t do BLAST to whole genome, just genes. UCSC and Ensembl do.

Order this:

  • Common-primer, RC(probe-sense-strand), RC(Nick site), RC(Index primer)
  • This will give us antisense-DNA probes by either method

Probe making method 1:

  • 2-5mL scale PCR with [secondary-site-extension + common-primer], [T7 + Index primer].
    • (could leave off the T7. Bigger chop easier to separate on gel though).
    • secondary-site-extension can be pre-labeled with 405.
  • 100ug scale column clean up or EtOH precipitation.
  • Nicking reaction
  • EtOH precipitation
  • PAGE Gel separate nicked strand
  • Gel extract (butanol extraction?)
  • Ethanol precipitate

Probe making method 2:

  • PCR with [secondary-site-extension + common-primer], [T7 + Index primer]
  • PCR column cleanup
  • T7 in vitro transcribe. –> RC(secondary-site), probe-sense-strand, Nick site, Index-primer
  • RNA column cleanup
  • RT w/ 405-secondary site. –> 405-secondary-site,antisense-probe,Nick,Index
  • stop reaction / cleanup
  • ethanol precipitate and use

Library ORDERED.

STORM

  • O/N PhM + Pc cy7, 647
