Today

  • Site Directed Mutagenesis: Got LOTS of growth on the transformation control, a fair amount of growth on the mutagenesis control that was positive so we know that it works! HOWEVER, there was NO growth on the binar vector plates! What's going on?
    • It might be that the vector is simply too large to transform by heatshock into the cells (its nearlt 7kb!). We're going to try a regular transformation to see how if it works. If not, James suggested we try electroporation.
