Objective: Amplify TIR gene from E.coli total DNA from DH5a


PCR reaction setup:

-Enzyme = Phusion
-Template = DH5a DNA
-Buffer = HF Phusion buffer
-Primers = IDT, designed & shipped July 16/08


PCR cycle conditions (programmed into HJ's thermocycler under "Nate":

1. Initial denaturation @ 95C for 3 mins (1 cycle)
2a. Denaturation @ 95C for 30 sec 
2b. Annealing @ 49C
2c. Extension @ 72C for 30 sec (Repeat from step 2, 34 times)
3. Final extension @ 72C for 10 mins (1 cycle)
4. Hold at 4C
