Today

  • Did Minipreps of I0500 in the new vector: Now we have I0500 in a high copy plasmid! No more adding IPTG to switch it from low-copy to high-copy mode!
  • More Colony PCR on the synthed biobricks. The final one has arrived!
  • Did sequencing for BisDA to cofirm whether it is the part, because the colony PCR was not as expected. EDIT: The colony PCR was fine; parts were a bit larger than we had thought because we did not account for the MCS being PCR'd along with the parts because of the primers we used.
  • Digested Tryp with Eco/Spe (sequential digest; first with Spe and then with Eco) and J6 with Eco/Xba. This will allow us to ligate the two together.
