[0075] (3) Peel the polyacrylamide gel from the glass plate (deionized water wash 2 times, about 5 seconds each time), and use 0.1% silver nitrate solution (209139-25G, Sigma) to stain the DNA with silver nitrate for 15 minutes. After staining, rinse the polyacrylamide gel with deionized water for 15 minutes and develop color.
[0076] (4) Soak the polyacrylamide gel in the developing solution (1% NaOH, 0.2% formaldehyde), and stop staining when there are obvious bands of the DNA band (in a fume hood).
[0077] (5) Compared with the wild type band, the different lines need to be selected, and the 1000 bp size DNA fragment (the target point is in the middle position of the fragment) is amplified by PCR again, and the amplification product is sent to the sequencing company for first-generation sequencing to determine whether the mutant is successfully constructed.
