What are the differences between C3 spacer & phosphate as oligo-modified blockers?

03 March 2016 0 4K Report

I am planning to use blocking primer for MEMO-PCR method so I will put a blocker in the 3' end. I wonder if C3 spacer and phosphate have differences in efficiency or others.

Why were my gBlocks not amplified while my samples were amplified well in the same run?

I did PCR to amplify BCR-ABL genes and used three gBlocks as my positive controls. I used MyTaq HS Red Mix from Bioline. My sample generated a band representing internal control but all the...

Why my melting curve analysis results from same samples change in different PCR run?

I did COLD-PCR for JAK2 wildtype and mutant samples. The previous results were okay, the peaks were around 76-77 celcius. Now the peaks are around 77-78, I wonder what happened. My samples are...

Why Do TDS and EC Increase with Larger Wastewater Volumes, While BOD and COD Decrease?

I have carried out MFC experiments on three different volumes, 50, 500 and 1000 mL of wastewater. Results after MFC treatment shows that TDS and EC are more in larger volumes of water i.e. TDS and...
