The DNA sent for sequencing contained a lot of RNA, which affected some of the sequencing.
6/14/2008
Bing came in to do a miniprep of the bacteria I picked yesterday using the Agencourt miniprep kit. This kit uses magnetic beads that bind dna to purify dna. The dna was sent out for sequencing analysis.

6/13/2008
A. Waited for colonies to grow larger.
B. Made 2xYT media and aliquoted 1ml.
C. Grew up the E.Coli in a 96 well plate.
6/12/2008
A. Use Clonewells to isolate DNA samples. Because sample B5 (K112312) may have been contaminated, PCR for b5 was done again.
B. Perform digestion using the follow procedure.
- 1. Make a solution of 5 ul NEB2, 15 ul DNA, 1 ul EcoRI, 1 ul BamHI, 28 ul water
- 2. Incubate for an hour
C. Clean up digestion with zymo columns.
- 1. Add 200ul ADB buffer to each of the digestion samples and pipette into zymo columns. Spin at 15s at full speed.
- 2. Add 200ul wash buffer. Spin for 15s at full speed.
- 3. Repeat step 2. Spin for an additional 90s at full speed.
- 4. Add 7ul of water to tube and spin for 30s at full speed.
D. Ligation
- 1. Mastermix: 6.5ul water, 1ul ligation buffer, 0.5 T4 DNA ligase, 1ul pBca1256. Aliquot 9ul.
- 2. Add 1ul of insert.
- 3. Cover with foil and incubate for 30 min at room temperature.
E. Transformation (always keep on ice)
- 1. 220ul competent cell in one tube, thaw on ice.
- 2. Add 30ul KCM and 20 ul water (both cold).
- 3. Invert ~2x to mix.
- 4. Aliquot 45ul cell into 10 ul of ligation rxn. (swirl and pipette up and down once)
- 5. Foil and Incubate 10 min on ice.
- 6. Heat shock 90s at 42 C.
- 7. Add 50 ul of LB.
- 8. Incubate 1 hr at 37 C.
- 9. Plate

6/9/2008
A. Filled out PCR table for parts K112300-K112321 to speed up PCR time when oligos arrive.
6/10/2008
Note: Oligos came and diluted
A. Made the vector pBca1256
- 1. PCR-50 ul
- a. 43 ul water, 1 ul 10mM dNTP, 5 ul 10x Expand Buffer, 1 ul 10uM ca1246F, 1ul 10uM ca1246R, 0.75 ul polymerase, 0.5 ul template (pBca1256)
- 2. Zymo cleanup
- 3. Digest vector using 1ul of EcoRI, BamHI, DpnI and 87 DNA/water solution. Jin ran a gel and said it is fine.
- 1. PCR-50 ul
6/11/2008
A. PCR for parts K112300-K112321-First Try **Refer to construction files for oligos**
- 1. Added 5x more dNTPs, which competes for Mg in buffer with polymerase.
- a. 18.5 ul water, 2.5 ul 10 mM dNTP, 1 ul buffer, 0.5 ul polyermase, 0.5 ul template, 1ul oligo 1, 1 ul oligo 2
B. PCR for parts K112300-K112321-Second Try
- 1. 20.375 ul water, 0.5 ul 10 mM dNTP, 1ul buffer, 0.375 ul polyermase, 0.25 ul template, 1ul oligo 1, 1ul oligo 2
