Things we did today

Wetlab work

Construction of p+r

EtBr stained 2% agarose gel ran at 60V for 2.25 hours. Thirty microliters of RE digested DNA were loaded into each well.
Grace
  • Ran RE digested products on gel
  • nir had three bands. Band at ~730bp = ?
  • BB-pRL1383a -- still couldn't see cut out of GFP. Assumed double digest successful, too little DNA to see GFP.
  • J33207 wrong size
  • Extracted nir, C0012 vector, BB-pRL1383a from gel
  • 3A assembly (ligation) of C0012 vector (pSB1A2) with:
  • nir and rbs (B0034)
  • plac and rbs(B0034)
  • pSB1A2 (negative control)
  • Transformed DB3.1 cells using 5 μl ligation reaction

Transformation

Margaret

  • ligation products from yesterday were transformed into DH5-a cells, pSMC121 was used as a positive control
  • rep+pSB1A3 (1:1)
  • rep+pSB1A3 (1:3)
  • rep+pSB1A3 (1:6)
  • P1 lytic +pSB1A3 (1:1)
  • P1 lytic +pSB1A3 (1:3)
  • P1 lytic +pSB1A3 (1:6)
  • [Plac B0030]+pSB1A3 (1:3)
  • [Plac B0030]+pSB1A3 (1:6)
  • [Plac B0034]+pSB1A3 (1:6)**ran out of vector

Sequencing

Gel of the pcr in preparation for sequencing, also colony pcr of rep and lytic regions.
Margaret
  • in preparation for sequencing, a PCR was run on the following plasmids:

oriV1-4, aadA(BB)5, aadA(BB)9, aadA(pRL)3, aadA(pRL)6, omega interposon

  • Note: In lane five, it looks like I added oriV instead of aada(BB)5. In the omega lane, there is a ladder. I will still sequence these.
Grace
  • Prepared nir+rbs and rbs+GFP constructs for sequencing

Discussion

Quote of the Day
