Today in the lab

Dan

PCR amplification of T123
  • I wanted to do PCR amplification of 0A and 0B, however PCR blocks were full, I will do this tomorrow
  • 6 tubes of PCR reaction were prepared for T123, hopefuly this will give me the amount of DNA that I need for a successful ligation.
  • Transformation of p2S and p2D
  • p2S and p2D were transformed in E. coli
  • Chris

    Minipreparation of AtCRE
  • Used minprep kit and protocol to isolate AtCRE from inoculated cells.
  • Measured absorbance of resulting DNA samples to determine concentrations
  • Confirmation of AtCRE
  • Performed a digestion of AtCRE with EcoRI against a water control and a positive control (DQ2325601 digested with EcoRI)
  • Ran product on a 1% gel for 40 minutes at 80V
  • Two of six samples showed desired bands.
  • Matt

    Ligation of PTP2 with pSSA42
  • Attempted another ligation of PTP2/pSSA42 this time with 1:1, 3:1, Vector with ligase, H2O, Vector without ligase.
