@hputnam should we do both sequencing for POC Histone and RFLP? Or do you recommend only sequencing from the last set of identifications that you did?
Above comment resolved. We need forward sequencing for mtORF for Pocillopora and PCR + RFLP For Pocillopora POC Histone
Finding all samples, primers, and supplies necessary for these approaches this week! Then I will be doing the PCR/RFLP for POC Histone on Monday the 25th and then reamplify POR H2 on Thursday the 28th!
Great! And I’ll be at URI during that time so I can help/learn!
Once processing is done we need to add information to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NbWRAi-Ko7zgQqbTuAFRxV7qBS_E6AaXG0XdwiSJ-lA/edit#gid=152104885
and add species ID to these sheets: https://github.com/urol-e5/timeseries/tree/master/time_series_analysis/Species_ID
This issue contains all the information needed to process the remaining E5 time series samples for species identification.
Pocillopora samples
We now need to conduct PCR/RFLP for POC Histone to distinguish between P. meandrina and P. grandis. See links below for protocols and primers. Please amplify these samples for the POC Histone marker and proceed with the POC Histone RFLP. See links below.
Porites Samples
These samples failed sequencing previously. See links below for protocols and primers and reamplify and send these samples for Sanger sequencing.
Protocols, primers, and notebook posts
PCR protocol and primers for POC Histone and POR H2 is located in Zoe's notebook post here
Previous PCR and Sequencing information is located in Zoe's notebooks posts here and here. Protocol also available in Hollie's notebook here.
Please first read through these protocols and notebook posts to familiarize yourself with the work that has been completed and the protocols. Then please proceed with amplification and sequencing for the samples listed above.
POC Histone RFLP is detailed in Johnston et al. 2018 and in Hollie's notebook here.
Please detail your procedures in notebook posts and upload any data to the E5 time series GitHub Species ID folder.
Please complete these steps by the end of March, or as soon as possible.
