MICA-STR PCR conditions
10 l of DNA at 4 ng/l, 1.49 l PCR buffer (in 10 ml reaction buffer: 0.8 g Trizma base, 0.22 g ammonium sulphate, 0.67 ml 1M MgCl2, pH to 8.8 with HCl), 1.49 l dNTP 5 mM, 0.37 l forward primer, 0.37 l reverse primer, 0.49 l bovine serum albumen 1/10 (Sigma), 5.58 l 28% sucrose and cresol red, 0.12 l Amplitaq. The cycling conditions were: 96 C for 1 min, 94 C for 20 s, 65 C for 1 min, 72 C for 2 min, this cycle repeated 35 times.
MICA and MICB PCR conditions
10 l of DNA at 4 ng/l, 1.49 l PCR buffer (in 10 ml reaction buffer: 0.8 g Trizma base, 0.22 g ammonium sulphate, 0.67 ml 1M MgCl2, pH to 8.8 with HCl), 1.49 l dNTP 5 mM, 0.37 l forward primer, 0.37 l reverse primer, 0.49 l bovine serum albumen 1/10 (Sigma), 5.58 l 28% sucrose and cresol red, 0.12 l Amplitaq. The cycling conditions were: 95 C for 5 min, 94 C for 45 s, 65 C for 45 s (reduce by –0.5 C per cycle), 72 C for 2 min, this cycle repeated 19 times, then 94 C for 45 s, 55 C for 45 s, 72 C for 2 min, this cycle repeated 13 times, then 72 C for 10 min.
Sequencing conditions
The PCR products were then cleaned using 0.9 l Shrimp Alkaline Phosphatase (USB), 0.225 l Exonuclease I (BioLabs) and 4.9 l water per sample. Sequencing was then carried out on an Applied Biosystems (ABI) 3700. The sequencing reaction was done using 2 l PCR product, 3 l Big Dye Buffer (ABI), 1 l Big Dye Terminator (ABI), 0.25 l primer and 3.75 l water. The cycling conditions were: 96 C for 10 s, 50 C for 5 s, 60 C for 4 min, repeat this cycle 24 times, then 4 C for 5 min.
