Things we did today
Wetlab work
Colony PCR
File:Rep P1 omega colony pcr.jpg
PCR verification of rep, P1 lytic regbion, and omega interposon ligation from 8-13
- Margaret
- 5 colonies of rep, P1 lytic region, and aadA(pRL1383a) region, each. pSB1A3 was used as a control.
- I changed the annealing time to 3min 30 seconds instead of the extension time, so the sites were not amplified properly. I ran the aadA(pRL1383a) construct on a gel and got a few bands, none of which were the right size. One of them should have been right though, so I am assuming this ligation did not work.
- I ran another PCR verification on rep, P1, and the omega interposon and afterwards a gel.
Culture
Margaret
- Plasmid preps from yesterday did not yield very high quantities. I am setting up the culture for oriV1-4 and aadA(BB) 4 so I can do another plasmid prep tomorrow.
Restriction Digest
Margaret
- digest of I14032 with SpeI and PstI. I want to use this to ligate to the aadA(BB) construct.
Drylab Work
Sequencing
- Margaret
- Verified sequence of oriT, inserted into pSB1A2. The sequences of oriT and the BioBrick sites are correct.
Oligonucleotide Design
- Margaret & Grace
- We are having trouble with TT, RBS and Promoter ligations, so we decided to synthesize these parts.
- B0016, I14032, B0030, & B0034
