I've been trying to subclone a LoxP-DsRed-LoxP insert, and I'm having a lot of difficulty with the PCR. I played with the annealing temp and tried adding DMSO and High GC enhancer, but no luck.
Basically, I am able to get some amplification, but it is very weak, even with the DMSO or enhancer buffer. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this or if this is a more common problem when cloning loxP-gene-loxP because of the palindromic nature of those end sequences.
