I am trying to amplify the Mus musculus mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (Map2k1) gene for LIC cloning.

Forward Primer: 5'-GACGACGACAAGATGCCCAAGAAGAAGCCGA-3' (Tm 57C)

Reverse Primer: 5'-CCGGGCTTCTCCTCTCAGATGCTGGCAGCGTG -3' (Tm 58C)

PCR conditions (30 Cycles)

95C/ 5 min

94C/1 min

47 – 53C/30s

72C/1.30min

72C/10 min

50mM MgCl2, 50uM dNTP, 0.2uM Primer concentration

I get a smear on the agarose gel.

What could be going wrong?
