Today in the lab

Chris

Double-Check of AtCRE
  • Digested samples showing desired bands with EcoRI for one hour.
  • Ran against a water control and DQ2325601 digested with EcoRI for one and a half hours on a 1% gel at 80V
  • One of two samples still showed desired bands following double-check. This sample was streaked onto a master plate, which was incubated at 37 C overnight, and glycerol stocked in the -80 C fridge for further use.

    Ligation Results
  • A gel was run after two hours for ligation of PTP2/pSSA42 - unsuccessful.
  • A gel was run with overnight ligation - vector and H2O controls were clean and ligation product band is slightly visible in 3:1 ratio. However there is auto ligation occuring with the vector.
  • PCR
  • Dan and I decided that the initial extraction of PTP2 after PCR yielded a product that was too concentrated to be properly extracted - so I am redoing the PCR amplification with elongation time raised to 1 min 15 sec and annealing temp raised to 58 C.
  • I will also spread the PTP2 amplification product over many different lanes on the gel so that it can be properly extracted.
  • Digestion
  • pSSA42 was redigested with BamHI and xhoI.

    'Wet Ware
  • Worked a little bit on trying to get some wet ware tools working.
  • 'Innoculation
  • Innoculated 6 colonies and a control
