Labs 7-9 flow chart Pick target Design primers Isolate RNA from cells Make cDNA using RT-PCR
RT-PCR What are components for RT-PCR? - RNA template - Primer: which? - dNTPs - RT - Buffer
Controls RT RT RT PCR PCR PCR Product Product Product
Lab session Each group will start with either miRNA or Control Make total RNA Make cDNA Make split into TWO tubes Keep one, swap one with another group
Lab session Group B Group A miRNA Control miRNA cDNA Control cDNA Control cDNA miRNA cDNA Control cDNA miRNA cDNA
Quantifying DNA/RNA: qPCR Start with 1 molecule Start with 10 molecules 1 cycle 2 cycles 3 cycles 30 cycles

qPCR controls Normalize amount of starting material? Could normalize total RNA Better method?
qPCR controls Normalize for overexpression of miR-128? Positive control

Calculations DDCT = DCT(control) - DCT(miR) DCT(control) = CT(target-control) - CT(endogenous control-control) DCT(miR) = CT(target-miR) - CT(endogenous control-miR) Expression fold change = 2DDCT
