Marathon-Ready cDNA is high-quality, double-stranded cDNA which has been ligated to the Marathon Adaptor and is ready for use as a template in 5′ and 3′ Marathon RACE reactions. In many cases, the full-length cDNA can then be obtained by end-to-end amplification or standard cloning. Enough material is provided for 30 50-μl Marathon RACE reactions.

Overview

  • Adaptor-ligated and ready for RACE PCR
  • Tissue-specific “pool” of double-stranded cDNA
  • Obtain full-length cDNAs without ever constructing or screening a cDNA library
  • Perfect template for Marathon cDNA Amplification

Applications

  • Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)

  • Study tissue-specific gene expression

  • Discover polymorphic forms of mRNA

  • Obtain full-length copies of published cDNAs
  • Characterization of tissue-specific patterns of gene expression

Generation of full-length cDNA by end-to-end amplification from adaptor-ligated ds cDNA

Generation of full-length cDNA by end-to-end amplification from adaptor-ligated ds cDNA

Generation of full-length cDNA by end-to-end amplification from adaptor-ligated ds cDNA. RACE PCR was performed. The template for Lanes 1–3 was Marathon-Ready Human Placenta cDNA (Cat. # 639311); the template for Lanes 4 & 5 was Marathon-Ready Human Skeletal Muscle cDNA (Cat. # 639313). Lane 1: 5′-RACE product for TFR cDNA. Lane 2: 3′-RACE product for TFR cDNA. Lane 3: full-length TFR cDNA (5.1 kb) generated by end-to-end amplification using 5′ and 3′ TFR primers. Lane 4: nearly full-length IGFR2 cDNA (8.8 kb) amplified with 5′ IGFR2 and 3′ IGFR2 primers. Lane 5: full-length IGFR1 cDNA (5.0 kb) amplified with primers 5′-IGFR and 3′-IGFR. Lane M: 1-kb DNA size ladder.

Marathon RACE products obtained using G3PDH primers to amplify Marathon-Ready Human, Mouse, and Rat Heart cDNAs

Marathon RACE products obtained using G3PDH primers to amplify Marathon-Ready Human, Mouse, and Rat Heart cDNAs. RACE PCR was performed using the AP1 primer and the positive control G3PDH primers. The templates used were Marathon-Ready Human Heart (Cat. # 639304), Mouse Heart (Cat. # 639404), and Rat Heart (Cat. # 639416) cDNAs. Lane M: 1-kb DNA size ladder.
