Abstract
This protocol describes the primers used for bark beetles and associated fungi.

This protocol is part of the Bark Beetle Mycobiome (BBM) Research Coordination Network. For more information on the BBM international network: Hulcr J, Barnes I, De Beer ZW, Duong TA, Gazis R, Johnson AJ, Jusino MA, Kasson MT, Li Y, Lynch S, Mayers C, Musvuugwa T, Roets F, Seltmann KC, Six D, Vanderpool D, & Villari C. 2020. Bark beetle mycobiome: collaboratively defined research priorities on a widespread insect-fungus symbiosis. Symbiosis 81: 101–113 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13199-020-00686-9.

Diluting primers

Reconstituting lyophilized primers to create 100X stock:
Resuspend to 100 uM/L concentration: for 28.5 nM of lyophilized primer, add 285 ul water (10 times more, in uL).
Dilute to make working solution :
To 10uL of the working stock above, add 90 uL of water, to make 10 uM/L (or 10 pM/ul) solution.
Working concentration: Use 1uL of the working solution above in 25uL reaction (10/25=0.4pM per rxn).
