Zebrafish AFLP Method v.1AFLP DNA Isolation v.2
AFLP Primer Seqs. v.1
AFLP Primer Tables AEIMZon Lab Contact: David Ransom
This AFLP method is based on the work of Vos et al (1995, NAR 23, 4407-4414). It uses primers +1 base for pre-amplification and primers +3 bases for selective amplification. We have seen an average of 50 to 100 bands per reaction of which ~25 bands segregate in individual haploids. For bulk segregant analysis, it is important to run 2 wt and 2 mt pools at the same time.

Do not preheat samples before PCR.3. Dilute 1:30 by adding 5 µl of preamp reaction to 145 µl of TE. Make multiple tubes in a batch . Each 150 µl tube is sufficient for 30 specific amplifcations. One 96 well plate will hold 24 sets. For 4 pools the stocks should be arrayed wt1, mt1 ,wt2, mt2 to aid plate and gel loading.
