Things we did today

Wetlab work

Growing up E. coli

Krystle
  • Grew up single colonies of Biobrick harboring E. coli for cryostocking and plasmid prep tomorrow.

PCR

Grace and Krystle
  • Ran 10 μl PCR reactions with Green Taq for GFP site directed mutagenesis and priming out the Biobrick sites from BBa_C0012 (for construction of our own Biobrick vector)
  • Forgot to keep everything on ice. May have non-specific amplifications. Will run on a gel tomorrow to check.

Redid ligation/restriction digest of annealed products

Grace
  • Ligated 1:1 and 1:10 dilutions of annealed product (20-30 min ligation) then restriction digested w/ XbaI and PstI using full RE buffer amounts recommended by NEB (2.5 hours digest).
  • Heated digested products in 95C water bath for 10 min before running on gel.
  • Ran 3% gel with RE products (both ligation dilutions) and annealed but not ligated products. Gel still had ladders. See experiment.
  • Ran 0.8% gel with 20 μl RE digested BBa_C0012 products.
  • Excised bands from gels for DNA purification/extraction tomorrow.

Discussion

Quote of the Day

we found this poured in the gel room today
Looks like someone is developing a comb-less gel electrophoresis protocol. - NW, KLS
