  • Primers for ZCCHC24

    Dear Seqanswer members,

    I am desperately trying to amplify/sequence the first exon of the ZCCHC24 gene. I tried it with the following primers

    Fwd 5' cgaggcagatagcggatcg 3'

    Rev 5' cttggcttggcttcgttcaac 3'

    with several polymerases (PeqLab Taq-DNA-Polymerase, TaKaRa rTaq, TaqOne GC Kit) at several annealing temperatures (ranging from 50°C to 60°C). I also tried to add 1 µl DMSO. I get either unspecific products (which do not contain a product of desired length) or there is no product at all.

    A former employee already have tried the following primers and failed as well:

    Fwd 5' aactttcgctgcctccttc 3'

    Rev 5' ctgtctgacccgctcttcct 3'

    I don't know which polymerases and programms she used though.

    Do you have any ideas, how I could amplify/sequence this exon? Any suggestions, including primer suggestions are appreciated!

    Thank you in advance,

    Anna.

    Hi, Anna. What is your target species?

      Hi greekkey,

      I solved the problem in the meantime by adding DMSO, BSA and Betaine.

      Thank you for trying to help me though!

      Best,
      Anna.

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin




        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
