For the transposon genotyping PCRs, I used NEB Q5 polymerase, following the manufacturer's recommended protocol for PCRs from genomic DNA. I used 20 sec. extension time at 72 °C, 35 cycles, with the following primers and conditions:
Gene Fwd Rev Anneal °C Expected bp

RUNX2 CGGGACCGATCCAGCCTACC TGCTTGCAGCCTTAAATGACT 66 198
Then I ran the PCR products on a 2% agarose gel with TAE buffer and ethidium bromide.
Do you have any questions about this protocol?
