3. Methods
3.1. Preparation of MCA amplicons
3.1.1 Digestion of genomic DNA
- Digest 5 m g of genomic DNA using 100 units of SmaI over night.
- Add 20 units of XmaI and incubate at 37 ° C for 6 hours.
- Add one volume PC9, vortex, spin and extract the supernatant.
- Precipitate the DNA: Add 1/10th volume 3M NaOAc and 2 volumes 100% ETOH. Store at
