Fig. 1. PCR analysis to detect the presence of the growth hormone (GH) transgene
from fin clips of GH-transgenic and non-transgenic Atlantic salmon (Salmo
salar). The PCR conditions were 92°C for 30 s, 60°C for 30 s and
72°C for 30 s, for 32 cycles. The primers anneal to the Chinook salmon GH
cDNA within the EO-1
transgene producing a 207 bp amplicon. In
addition, the primers also anneal within the endogenous Atlantic salmon GH DNA
sequence, producing amplicons of 798 bp and 1150 bp that serve as internal
positive controls for the PCR reaction. Lane 1, DNA ladder; lanes 2 and 3, fin
clip from GH-transgenic salmon; lanes 4 and 5, fin clip from non-transgenic
salmon; lane 6, negative control (H2O); lane 7, positive
control.
