7 8 2015 CARM rep rerun

Today I ran another qPCR targeting the CARM gene.  This is to hopefully improve the replicates similarly to what I was doing with the CRAF gene yesterday. To better optimize this time I made a master mix for two plates worth of samples and created both plates back to back. This is the first of the two plates. I'll post the data from the second plate tomorrow.  

Primers:

1642	CARM1_FWD	TGGTTATCAACAGCCCCGAC	JH	5/21/2015	20	55		O.lurida	Histone-arginine methyltransferase CARM1 (EC 2.1.1.-) (EC 2.1.1.125) (Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1) (Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 4)	Q6DC04
1641	CARM1_REV	GTTGTTGACCCCAGGAGGAG	JH	5/21/2015	20	55		O.lurida	Histone-arginine methyltransferase CARM1 (EC 2.1.1.-) (EC 2.1.1.125) (Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1) (Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 4)	Q6DC04

Results:

All samples

NTCs

All four of the NTCs amplified but the product was larger than the target. I'm not sure how this will effect data analysis since on of the samples amplified at the same cycle as the NTCs but with the appropriate size product. I'm running the second plate and will post about it when it finishes.
