We immobilized DNA to Dynabeads (following the Dynabead Prep Protocol) and then ran experiments with TdT using regular dATPs and Cleanamp dATPs (following the Dynabead Cleanamp Protocol). We ran a gel of the experiments but saw no results. It is proposed that DNA was lost when removing DNA from Dynabeads. </li> | ||
