I want to digest the rat gDNA by Spe1 to do Southern blot. However, according to my result, there still some gDNA didn't digest well. I am afraid it would affect the hybridization. Here is my reaction: 5ug gDNA(850ug/ul), 20U/1ug Spe1(NEB), 2mM spermidine, 10xcutsmart (0.1mg/ml BSA) in 50ul reaction. The reaction was incubated in 37℃ for 18h. Also, I have heated the gDNA in 65℃ for 10min and transferred into ice water immediately prior to digestion. Could anyone provide me some suggestion to improve the efficiency? Thanks a lot!
