Inverse PCR عزل الـ DNA الكلي من الخلية تقطيع الـ DNA بواسطه احد انزيمات القطع الذي يؤدي الي تكوين مقاطع من الـ DNA لها نفس النهايات الزجة ( Stecky Ends ). اضافة انزيم الـ ligase الذي يربط هذه النهايات ببعضها مكونة مقاطع دائرية من الـ DNA يتم استخدام انزيم قطع جديد بحيث ان يقوم بالقطع في المنطقة معروفة التتابع مما يؤدي الي انتقال هذه المنطقة المعروقه الي اطراف المقطع تستخدم هذه القطع كقالب اثناء تفاعل الـ PCR بحيث ترتبط البرايمرز في المنطقه معروفه التتابع التي توجد علي الاطراف يتم تحديد التتابع الخاص بهذا المقطع بواسطة الـ DNA sequencer

qRT-PCR is used to qualitatively detect gene expression Why RT-PCR? Gene expression analysis Cancer research Drug research Disease diagnosis and management Viral quantification Food testing Percent GMO food Animal and plant breeding Gene copy number
RNA AAAAAAAAAAAA TTTTTT oligo dT primer All messenger RNAs (mRNA) have a poly A tail The RT reaction can be primed by a: target specific primer (i.e. primer targeting VHSV nucleocapsid (N) gene) oligo dT primer (a primer consisting of a run of T’s that targets the mRNA poly A tail) random primers (a mix of 6 base primers consisting of random nucleotides)
Real-Time PCR a specialized technique that allows a PCR reaction to be visualized “in real time” as the reaction progresses. Quantitative PCR relies on the principal that the quantity of target at the start of the reaction is proportional to amount of product produced during the exponential phase ∆ Fluorescence C T C T Greater starting target Less starting target < Real-Time PCR

Any increase in fluorescence level can be plotted onto a graph and easily interpreted Virus present No virus
We describe the position of the lines with a value that represents the cycle number where the trace crosses a threshold. This is called the cycle threshold “Ct Value”. Ct values are directly related to the starting quantity of DNA, by way of the formula: 23 25 28 Ct Values:
Quantitative PCR – in depth Major assay types Hydrolysis probes Basis of TaqMan ® chemistry Uses two primers and an internal hydrolysis probe Most commonly used for fish health diagnostics SYBR ® green dye Increased fluorescence when bound to dsDNA Slightly lower specificity Costs less May not be as sensitive as the 5’ nuclease assays
