Chris
- Double-Check of AtCRE
- Digested samples showing desired bands with EcoRI for one hour.
- Ran against a water control and DQ2325601 digested with EcoRI for one and a half hours on a 1% gel at 80V
- One of two samples still showed desired bands following double-check. This sample was streaked onto a master plate, which was incubated at 37 C overnight, and glycerol stocked in the -80 C fridge for further use.

- Ligation Results
- A gel was run after two hours for ligation of PTP2/pSSA42 - unsuccessful.
- A gel was run with overnight ligation - vector and H2O controls were clean and ligation product band is slightly visible in 3:1 ratio. However there is auto ligation occuring with the vector.
- PCR
- Dan and I decided that the initial extraction of PTP2 after PCR yielded a product that was too concentrated to be properly extracted - so I am redoing the PCR amplification with elongation time raised to 1 min 15 sec and annealing temp raised to 58 C.
- I will also spread the PTP2 amplification product over many different lanes on the gel so that it can be properly extracted.
- Digestion
- pSSA42 was redigested with BamHI and xhoI.
Dan
- 'Wet Ware
- Worked a little bit on trying to get some wet ware tools working.
- 'Innoculation
- Innoculated 6 colonies and a control
