Wednesday 20 August

 * Transformation of L48 into Plates 136/137 (dxs+LIMS+appY), L49 into Plates 138/139 (crtBI+appY), and control with only 1.5µl Edinbrick1 into Plates 140/141. (YAN)
 * Double digestion of lacZ (Lablled as RBS+lacZ in Edinbrick1 from iGEM 06) using Xbal/PstI, then ligation into PcstA, which has been digested and purified. (vector).
 * M150 and M151 (pSB1A2+cex) submitted for sequencing with primer pSB1A2insF2 as AH150F and AH151F. M152 (pSB1A2+dxs+crtE) submitted for sequencing with primers pSB1A2insF2 and pSB1A2insR2 as AH152F and AH152R. (AH)
 * M156-M159: Minipreps of cenA, digested DNA and ran on Gel 58(OG)
 * Results of yesterday's PCR: When run on Gel 56, P78~P80 produced smears but also distinguishable bands for glgC, SOB2 and SOB2+glgC; P81~P83 produced bands for SOB2 and SOB2+glgC. (AM)
 * Hence, P78~P83 were purified and self-ligated (L50~L55). (AM)
 * PCR of Zea mays genes from maxipreps: SU1 from X11 (P84), ISO2 from X12 (P85). Standard PCR conditions for KOD, annealing 60°C, extension 75s. Run on Gel 58. Results: too many bands to be of practical value. (AM)
 * Analytical digests of X1-X17 with EcoR1-Pst1. X1-X13 run on Gel 57 and X14-X17 run on Gel 58. (HX)
 * Ligation of lacZ into PcstA (vector) (L50) (yan)
