5 28 2015 New Primer Check (13-23)

Today I completed the primer checks for the new primers. This run is less promising than yesterdays as it doesn't have any primers that show any real difference in them. There were more than a couple that failed in some manner.

To make the working stock of the primers.

  1. 90 ul of Nuclease free (or Nanopure) H20 to 1.5 ml tube
  2. 10 ul of Stock primers
  3. Vortex briefly
I made these carefully in order to produce the following 12 pairs of primers.

After producing the working stocks I then made a 10 reaction master mix.

Posted below are assumptions based on the very limited data from this check. It is only being produced to eliminate useless primers from future tests and highlight possibly interesting primers. Only with further testing will we be able to determine true trends. 

CerS2, HSP70d, THRa, and Defensin failed due to no amplification or poor melt curve conditions. 

HSP70c produced a weird bump inline with the other melt curves. This primer should probably not be used due to the inability to eliminate this issue.

H3.3, H2A.V, and H2A all showed similar results with H2A being very similar in all samples. These could be candidates for normalizing genes to use with Actin. 

p29ING also appeared to have uniform expression in all samples. This could also be another normalizing gene.

GABABR appeared to have down regulation in Heat Stress for Fidalgo and Dabob but there's no way to tell unless we run more replicates. 

GRB2 had some variable expression between heat shock and control samples but we'll need to run further tests to ensure this. 

Tomorrow I should finalize a list of the primers of interest.  Hopefully next week I'll be able to run them with a full complement of samples and normalizing genes.
