NADH dehydrogenase Pgenerosa Identification

  • 2 min read

OBJECTIVE

The following protocol was completed with the geoduck genome in preparation for primer design and qPCR of a target protein NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) This step-by-step process can be used to verify the presence/absence of a particular target gene within an annotated genome without gene family identification. In this case.. a database of the geoduck genome was used with only ID identifiers for genes (no family-specific accession ID)
