Week 11: 08/4/08 - 08/7/08

08/4/08

  • Plasmid digestion for:
BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0040-BBa_B1006 (E-S) BBa_R0040 (E-X)
  • Gel run/cut/gel extraction.
  • Ligation: BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0040-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0040. We incubated ligation at 16°C overnight.
  • We had 5 plates to screen with colony PCR:
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_C0051-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0079-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0051-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0062-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0062-BBa_B0030-BBa_E1010-BBa_B1006 (that we call "a")
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_C0061-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0062-BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006 (that we call "b")
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_C0078-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0079-BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006 (that we call "c")
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_C0061-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0079-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0079-BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006 (that we call "d")
    • BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0040-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0040
  • Last week BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0040-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0040 colony PCR gave a bad result. For this reason, we decided to perform colony PCR only for:
    • BBa_B0030-BBa_C0061-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0062-BBa_B0030-BBa_E0040-BBa_B1006 (7 colonies)
    • BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0012-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0010 (6 colonies)
Marker 1Kb, blank, BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0040-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0040 (6 colonies), b (7 colonies)
  • Gel result:
    • b (2nd colony, but it was not pure. We decided to prepare single colonies plate for b)
    • BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0012-BBa_B1006-BBa_R0010 (1st colony)

  • Plasmid digestion for:
BBa_J23100-BBa_B0030-BBa_C0040-BBa_B1006 (E-S) BBa_R0040 (E-X)
  • Gel run/cut/gel extraction.
  • We infected 9 ml of LB + Amp with 30 µl of BBa_C0062, 12, 22, 30, 27(2nd col), b(1st col)
  • Single colonies plates for b, c, d.

08/5/08

  • Glycerol stocks/miniprep for BBa_C0062, 12, 22, 30, 27(2), b(1).
  • We sent BBa_C0062, 12, 22 and 30 to Primm for sequencing: all these parts contain BBa_C0062.
  • We transformed/plated 28.
  • Colony PCR for a(7 colonies), b(single colonies)(6 colonies), c(single colonies)(6 colonies), d(single colonies)(6 colonies).
  • Gel results were not so clear: the length of some fragments was not expected and there were some contaminants. Maybe those parts were too long for our PCR reaction. We decided to grow 9 ml cultures for some of those colonies, to extract plasmids, to cut them and to check their length in a new run. We chose:
    • a (1, 4, 6, 7)
    • b (no colony was chosen: we already had them and this run didn't show any 100% pure colony)
    • c (5)
    • d (2)

08/6/08

  • Single colonies plate for 28, because where were too many bacteria on its plate.
  • Glycerol stocks/miniprep for:
    • a(1)
    • a(4)
    • a(6)
    • a(7)
    • c(5)
    • d(2)
  • We cut these 6 plasmids E-P (5 µl of DNA in a final reaction volume of 20 µl).
  • Run for digested plasmids. Gel results:
    • a(1) OK
    • a(4) False positive
    • a(6) OK
    • a(7) False positive
    • c(5) OK
    • d(2) OK

08/7/08

  • Colony PCR for 28 single colonies plate (screening on 6 colonies).
  • Gel results: all screened colonies were negative...
