Having completed one week of training/lectures, I've finally started on my own little portion of the lab work! Over last weekend, I searched for the DNA sequences of the FLAG-tag and the AP-tag. The objective was to find an existing E. coli vector for said sequences. Upon completing the search, I designed oligos for EIPCR for small parts under 30 bp (like our tags). When we discovered, however, that our sequences were too long - leaning precariously over the "30bp border" - we decided to prepare for a Wobble (overlap extension) PCR instead. This involved designing Fwd/Rev oligos that had a 20bp overlap. When that was done, we ordered the oligos. We now eagerly expect their arrival tomorrow at around 3p.m., when we can actually do the PCR reation! | Having completed one week of training/lectures, I've finally started on my own little portion of the lab work!
