how to design a probe for unmethylated gene

11 January 2013 - 04:21 AM

Hi every one

I'm working on my thesis subject which is analysing methylation status of CDKN2A gene in a special occupational group.I need to perform quantitative MSP and so I decided to design two primers and a probe specific for methylated gene and two primers and a probe for unmethylated gene.
but there is a problem : HOW to design a probe for unmethyated allele???? it can be veryyyyyyyyyy variable!!!! how can i make sure that a probe for unmethylated allele is reliable?

I would appreciate any kind of clues

suitable DNA extraction and sample freezing for MSP

Hi every one!

I'm working on my thesis topic and I need to know some initial info about methylation analysis.
I was wondering if DNA extraction without commercial kits (eg. with laundry detergents) affects methylation status of the promoter?
and, does freezing my serum samples ( which I intend to get my DNA from it) changes the methylation pattern?

I'll really appreciate any recommendation and clues.
