Genomic DNA Labeling Protocol
互联网
We typically use 0.5ug of E. coli genomic DNA in a labeling reaction for each hybridization. The genomic DNA was fragmented to 500 to 1000bps before labeling. The following protocol should produce enough labeled probe for 8 hybridizations.
For labeling 4μg Genomic DNA :

Incubate at 37℃ for 3.5 hours
Add 2.5μl 0.5M EDTA to stop reaction
Clean up Labeled Probes
Prewash Microcon-30 microfilter by adding 450ml miliQ H2 O and spinning for 10 min. @ 12,000 RPM.
Add 450ml miliQ H2 O to each of the probe samples (or total 500μl). Mix thoroughly by pipetting up and down. Transfer samples to separate Microcon-30 microfilters. (Amicon)
Spin at 12,000 RPM in microfuge for 10 minutes or until 20-40 ml remains in the filter.
Add 450 ml miliQ H2 O to the probe and gently mix by pipetting up and down. Be careful not to touch the filter at the bottom of the filtration unit.
Spin 10 minutes at 12,000 RPM.
Repeat step 4 , spin 12min to get smaller volume.
Invert column into a fresh tube and spin 1 minute at maximum speed to recover probe. Carefully measure recovered probe volume if necessary.
Probe can be stored at 4℃ or -20℃ in dark for further use.
