*In order to verify the ligations of parts (from geneart and PCR products) into the biobrick vector AK3 we have carried out a series of single colony PCRs using the primers Psb.
 +
*The conditions used were as follows:
 +
**1 cycle - 95<sup>o</sup>C for 30 seconds
 +
**30 cycles - 95<sup>o</sup>C for 30 seconds, 60<sup>o</sup>C for 30 seconds,72<sup>o</sup>C for 30 seconds
 +
**1 cycle - 72<sup>o</sup>C for 2 minutes
 +
*The numbers of the ligations correspond to the following ligation reactions:
 +
**6 L  (from geneart construct 6) = LipA-Elastin
 +
**EpsE (from geneart construct 3) = EpsE gene
 +
**AmyE5' (from PCR products)
 +
**AmyE3' (from PCR products)
 +
**8<sub>1</sub> (from geneart constructs 6, PCR using mini DNA) =  pGsiB-gsiB
 +
**8<sub>2</sub> (from geneart constructs 6, PCR using mini DNA) = pGsiB-gsiB
 +
**Negative contains no DNA,

*The results show positive results for EpsE, Amy5',AmyE3', 8 (pGsiB-gsiB)

Single Colony PCR

PCR-23.PNG
  • In order to verify the ligations of parts (from geneart and PCR products) into the biobrick vector AK3 we have carried out a series of single colony PCRs using the primers Psb.
  • The conditions used were as follows:
    • 1 cycle - 95oC for 30 seconds
    • 30 cycles - 95oC for 30 seconds, 60oC for 30 seconds,72oC for 30 seconds
    • 1 cycle - 72oC for 2 minutes
  • The numbers of the ligations correspond to the following ligation reactions:
    • 6 L (from geneart construct 6) = LipA-Elastin
    • EpsE (from geneart construct 3) = EpsE gene
    • AmyE5' (from PCR products)
    • AmyE3' (from PCR products)
    • 81 (from geneart constructs 6, PCR using mini DNA) = pGsiB-gsiB
    • 82 (from geneart constructs 6, PCR using mini DNA) = pGsiB-gsiB
    • Negative contains no DNA,
  • The results show positive results for EpsE, Amy5',AmyE3', 8 (pGsiB-gsiB)
  • The result from AmyE3' is less clear, it appears that the 1st of the three is the correct size but all will be checked by mini-preping and then digestion.
  • There was no contamination in the negative control.

Miniprep Digestion

  • All minpreps from yesterday digested with EcoRI and PstI
Digest23-9.png
  • Each lane is a separate miniprep (2 minipreps of each transformation).
  • Band from the EpsE digests is approximately correctly, although this is also approxiamtely the size of GFP-Termiantor and RFP-Terminator. In particular, the pSB1AK3 vector containing RFP-T was used to provide vector for the ligation.
  • All other mini-preps do not appear to have inserts! The gel had been imaged earlier and had also shown no evidence of inserts.
  • It should also be noted that the vector in all the minipreps appears to be the wrong size!

Dry Lab

  • Modelling Motility
    • Done up the code to model the cell's trajectory using least square curve fit method.
    • Fitted cell trajectories of 100908 Video 15. Results look promising:
