Table S2: Oligo sequences

Posted by JPrescott on 26 Apr 2012 at 23:00 GMT

I think that the primers for FGFR3 exon 7 in table S2 have the same genomic sequence in the forward and reverse (after the M13 sequence; TGGCGGTGGTGGTGAGGGAG). This sequence maps to just 5' of exon 7.

Thank you for the comment.

The Exon 7 primer sequences in Table S2 in this article read:

Fwd 5'-3'
[TGTAAAACGACGGCCAGTAGT]GGCGGTGGTGGTGAGGGAG
Rev 5'-3'
[CAGGAAACAGCTATGACC]TGTGCGTCACTGTACACCTTGCAG

In the sequences above I have put the auxiliary sequence (M13 Fwd/Rev) in brackets. For clarity I should have done this in Table S2 as well.

If the sequence after the brackets above is used as primers in an e-PCR at UCSC (http://www.genome.ucsc.ed...)
the PCR fragment maps to the beginning of exon 7 of the FGFR3 gene, covering the most commen mutation site (although the whole exon is not covered).

I hope this resolved you question. If not, please let me know
