Flow cytometry DNA quantitation in rodents to investigate gain and lost of genetic material among subspecies. Is it possible? Does anyone have a protocol?
Thanks for your answer. Our goal is to investigate if in a species of rodent (genus Akodon) the variation in chromosome number among individuals is accompanied by loss or gain of genetic material or results from a rearrangement of the genetic material. We count with a Facsverse (no sorter) and we would like to compare the amount of the DNA within a single cell of different individuals.
I just talked to the support staff of BD, thanks for the tip. The protocol is becoming clear. It seems that we will use 7AAD in permeabilized cells and make a relative quantification among individuals.
