-
<ul>Midiprep was done on the I and the J-brick. Once the isopropanol was added, the J-brick midiprep looked clear (no DNA was eluted). DNA gel needs to be done to confirm presence of DNA in both cases.</ul></p>

<ul>Since no growth was observed in the I-brick culture, the I brick was re-seeded.</ul>

<ul>The J-brick was diluted in 500-ml of LB broth(for a Maxiprep to be done the next day).</ul></p>

<ul>Restriction digest and gel of June 11th and June 12th I-brick and J-brick DNA using EcoR1. Bands revealed at roughly 4000bp and 2500bp for I-brick (expected 2652bp and 3939bp). J brick single band that was not informative, new digestion to be completed tomorrow.</ul></p>
 
-
 
-
<p>'''June 16th, 2008''':<ul> I-brick was seeded and diluted over last two days, but there was insufficient growth so it will be left to grow one more day before performing another midi-prep. This is to compliment the already successful Maxi-Prep that gave low concentrations of DNA.</ul>
 
-
<ul>Another gel was performed of previous J-brick preps that confirmed the absence of the desired plasmid, no DNA was detected when digested with EcoR1.</ul>
 
-
<ul>J-brick was re-transformed into TOP10 chemically competent cells and then plated on Amp+ plates.<ul/></p>
