ddRADseq

A third attempt at the ddRADseq protocol.

DNA extraction

Completed DNA extraction that I started yesterday.

Eluted in 25ul Buffer AE. For samples 1-11, eluted twice with same buffer AE to see if this would increase yield. Reserved 2ul for Qubit.

Double digest

50 ul rxn volume following NEB protocol

Reagent Volume (ul)
NlaIII 1
MluCl 1
DNA 20
CutSmart Buffer 5
H2O 23

3 hr digestion at 37°C.

Stored samples in fridge.
