Fusion PCR

Reaction protocol 50 µl:
      4 μl Primer forward (5 pmol)
      4 μl Primer reverse (5 pmol)
      100 ng template-DNA of each fragment
      10 μl 5x HF-Buffer
      1 μl PfuS-Polymerase
      2 μl dNTPs (12.5 mM)
      ad. 50 μl sterile water

PCR cycles:

E.coli colony PCR

1. Pick a fresh colony of about 1 mm and resuspend it in 10 µl water.
2. Use 1 µl as a template for a 25 µl PCR reaction.

Yeast colony PCR

1. Aliquot 20 µl NaOH (20 mM) into 1.5 ml tubes
2. Pick colonies (use pipet tips) into the NaOH
3. Incubate at 95°C for ~ 45 minutes
4. Centrifuge at max speed for 10 minutes
5. Use 5 µl of supernatant as template in a (50 µl) PCR.
