GENOTYPING THE ENTIRE COLONY OF TRANSGENIC MICE By: Sweta Roy & Whitney Lai Mentor: Dr. Sumanta Goswami Location: Yeshiva University
KEY TERMS Primer – a DNA
fragment; used to start DNA synthesis
Buffer solution - solution that creates a neutral environment by resisting any pH changes
Taq Polymerase – DNA polymerase that creates matching nucleotides based from the DNA template
Transgenic mice- carries a foreign gene that has been inserted into its genome
WAP & MT Whey Acidic Protein- a gene that codes for
milk protein in certain mammals.-a Middle T promoter -found on chromosome 11-found in dog, domestic; pig, domestic; rabbit, European; rat
Middle T (MT) – a gene that causes cancer
POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTIONPolymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a process that amplifies DNA through a series of heating and cooling. Denature, anneal, and elongation are the basic steps in Polymerase Chain Reaction.
1. Denature: The DNA separates into two strands
2. Annealing: Primers are added and forms hydrogen bond with template
3. Elongation – Primers begins the replication process polymerase is activated; as polymerase runs through the strand, the complementary nucleotides are created with the use of dNTPs
PURPOSE Goal: To genotype the entire transgenic mice
population
To identify the mice that has both WAP and Middle-T which are the genes that we desire; to identify mice with Middle T

MATERIALS
PROCEDURE OF DNA EXTRACTION
1. Mark the mice; create a code so you may be able to identify it
2. Clip the tails of the mice 3. Place mouse tail in a tube
containing 400 μL of lysis buffer and 3 μL of proteinase K
4. Spin at 13,000 rpm for 5 minutes5. Draw out all the liquid; leaving
the pellet in the container 6. Add supernatant to 400 μL of
Iso-amyl alcohol and invert several times to mix
7. Spin at 13,000 rpm for 10 minutes
PROCEDURE CONT.8. Draw out and discard supernatant
(top layer of the 2 layers formed in the tube)
9. Wash with 1mL of 70% ethanol 10. Spin at 13,000 rpm for 5 minutes 11. Air dry for 15 minutes until all
ethanol is gone 12. Add 200 μL of nuclease free water
and incubate in 55 degrees Celsius bath for 1 hour
13. Measure DNA concentration on Nanodrop Apparatus
14. Ensure that they have ~50ng/ μL concentration of DNA and add 1 μL of PCR reaction tube

repeats 25x
PROCEDURE : RUNNING THE GELMaking a gel
1. In a 500 mL flask, add 1g of agarose ( 2 tablets of agarose) 2. Add 50 mL of 1xTAE buffer to the flask3. Heat in microwave for less than 1 minute. Watch until bubbles appear 4. Allow the liquid to cool off a bit, about 2-3 minutes or so.5. Once its no longer boiling hot, add ethidium bromide to a final
concentration of .5 μL/mL 6. Pour into gel cast and wait for gel to harden, approximately 10-15 mins7. Pour TAE buffer in the Buffer Chamber 8. Place the hardened gel that is still in the slot in the Buffer chamber; the
buffer should cover the gel slightly
DNA Prep1. To your amplified DNA sample, add loading dye in appropriate
volume; add 4 μLof 6x Loading Dye2. Mix DNA and dye well3. Add about 10 μL DNA to each well 4. In addition to DNA add 3-4 μL DNA ladder to one of the wells 5. Run the gel at around 100 v for 30-40 minutes 6. Visualize / photograph gel using uv lamp
RESULTS:
CONCLUSION From our results we can see that tube 11and
tube 5 have both middle T and WAP which are the genes we desire. The ones that have WAP and Middle T will grow a
tumor within two months
We are going to finish the experiment and see what results we get.
Then we will breed the mice who does not have one of the genes we desire.
Try to reduce the WAP population
