Transformation: Take 3

 * Using 2 spots of filter paper to try to get more DNA
 * Using 16uL of TE instead of 10 (because the filter paper absorbs so much)
 * After spinning it down at 15000xg for 3 min., we're letting it sit out overnight to try to get more DNA
 * Tomorrow, we'll test how much DNA we have with a NanoDrop (more accurate and easy to use than the UV-Vis machine from earlier)
 * We'll also test the transformation efficiency with the Invitrogen kit that comes with the cells (pUC17 stuff)
 * Try to transform 2 parts:
 * J09855 from 2008: it's from a DH5a strain, QC is great, and is on pSB1A2 plasmid
 * Part from last year to compare filter paper w/ non-paper: J13003--it's a long part (like LacZ), on pSB1A2, and QC is great
