"Imke Schmitt recently sent me this updated protocol for MCM7. I am posting it here at her request for those who may want to give this gene another go as phylogenetic marker.
Tips for MCM7 amplification:
Use a sensitive polymerase, e.g.…"

Pradeep Kumar Divakar replied to Conrad Schoch's discussion 'Species and barcoding (Thorsten's proposed collaborative project)' in the group Fungi"Dear all,
This is a very nice idea and suggestion by Thorsten Lumbsch on species delimitation using GMYC method and good way to explore the datasets to have separate publication. Species delimitation is a crucial issue for DNA barcoding. Groups like…"
Pradeep Kumar Divakar replied to Conrad Schoch's discussion 'RPB1 and 2 problems' in the group Fungi"Apparently, for parmeliaceae now RPB1 is working good but we have to be very careful in primer sets selection, to be sure that the primer we are using are the original ones which is published in Stiller & Hall, 1997 and Matheny & al.,…"

Conrad Schoch replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"Thanks Ryan, any info you add will be helpful to many I am sure. Would be good to expand things beyond Ascos."
Ryan Kepler replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"Hey everyone,
Looks as though most of the people commenting here are working with Ascomycota. Thought I would chime in with some successes for Basids. I am in the process of adapting these for use with Amylostereum in Russulales.…"
Pradeep Kumar Divakar replied to Conrad Schoch's discussion 'RPB1 and 2 problems' in the group Fungi"Hi Karen,
Thanks a lot for your kind reply and details of pcr protocol. Hope we would be able to resolve this "mistake".
Giho Sung could you please tell us the original citation of this primer…"
Pradeep Kumar Divakar replied to Conrad Schoch's discussion 'RPB1 and 2 problems' in the group Fungi"Hi Conrad,
I was revising the RPB1 primers listed in excel file (PrimersTable30November) because we are having some problem in sequencing of this loci. Primer name RPB1-Af, RPB1-Ac oligonucleotides: 5’-GARTGYCCDGGDCAYTTYGG-3’ I did not…"
Pradeep Kumar Divakar replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"We also use the same concentration for Tsr1 (1.25ul of 10mM). We did not try increasing more primer concentration but i think it should also work better by increasing primer concentration.

Sandra Lorena Ament Velásquez replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"I see. Thanks a lot! The same applies for Tsr1, right?Regards,Lore"
Pradeep Kumar Divakar replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"Hi Sandra,
1.25ul of each 10mM primer in 25ul PCR reaction is not much. We normally use this for amplification of all genes (nuclear, mitochondrial and protein coding) and have obtained very nice results. Recently we got good result for protein…"
Andrew Miller replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"We use 1.0µL of each 10mM primer in our 25µL PCR reactions.

Sandra Lorena Ament Velásquez replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"Hi everyone!I read the paper of Schmitt et al. (2009), but i have a doubt. It says that the concentration of the primers for de PCR is 10mM in 1.25uL. Is it really that much?Greetings!Lore"
Pradeep Kumar Divakar replied to Conrad Schoch's discussion 'RPB1 and 2 problems' in the group Fungi"Hi Conard,
In lichenized Ascomycota we wound good result in the amplification of RPB1 by increasing primer concentration. We used 3ul of each primers For and Rev (10uM) in 25ul of reaction. For RPB1, we are using universal primers RPB1-Af and…"
Conrad Schoch replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"Tried these on a diverse set of Dothids and I think success rate was more like 80% without too much optimisation."
Priscila Chaverri replied to Pradeep Kumar Divakar's discussion 'PCR protocol' in the group Fungi"We used the combination of primers Mcm7-709for/Mcm7-1348rev for some hypocrealean things and 100% of them worked. The mcm7-1447rev also did not work well. We used the thermocycler conditions described in Schmitt et al. Resolution was good: it…"
