Today in the lab

Dan

Gel of S&D&T PCR products
  • The bands I needed were on the gel, they were somewhat close to non specific binding bands, so I took extra caution when cutting them out.
  • After using the gel extraction kit the obtained concentrations were decent.
  • PCR amplification of S&D&T
  • Performed PCR on the S&D&T obtained products, if it works, It would be easy to obtain more DNA and would save the hassle of going back to step 1.
  • Atcre and construct 1 concentrations
  • Both these DNA fragments resulted in very low concentrations following gel extraction. Chris went ahead and used Atcre anyways. The concentration of construct 1 was too low to use.
  • Talked to Cory and realized that AgeI could be used instead of ClaI. That would solve our problem of performing ligation on a 2bp overhang.
  • We ordered new primers today for this.
  • Looking back

  • After Matt encountered problems with reduced enzymatic activity of restriction enzymes, I decided to redigest and reconfirm
