Florescent Labeling Genomic DNA by Random Priming
(for use on BAC microarrays)
Procedure:
Random Prime DNA

  1. For each sample, combine 300 ng unfragmented genomic DNA and H2O to bring the volume to 10 µl.  (According the manufacturer as little as 50 ng DNA can be used).
  2. Add 20 µl of 2.5X Random Primer Mix (Bioprime Kit, Invitrogen).
  3. Denature DNA/Primer mix at 100°C for 10min; immediately quench on ice.
Labeling Reaction
  1. Combine the following: 
30 µl DNA/Random Primer mix
5 µl 10 x dNTP Mix (see below)
3 µl Cy3-dUTP or Cy5-dUTP 
1 µl Klenow (40-50 U/ul) 
q.s. 50ul total with H2O
*mix thoroughly and incubate at 37°C overnight.
Remove unincorporated nucleotides and add blockering agents
  1. Combine Cy3 and Cy5 samples.
  2. Transfer to a G-50 Spin column which has been pre-equillibrated in TE. 
  3. Spin and collect flow through according to spin column protocol.
  4. Add the following directly to the column that contains your filtered samples:
50 µl Human Cot-1 DNA (1 µg/µl)
10 µl Yeast tRNA (10 µg/ul)
  1. Dry sample in SpeedVac and store at –20ºC.
