EDIT THE WIIIIKIIII

Clone lacZ promoter into pJQ200:

Tuesday 7/17/07 (11 hour protocol)

Need: 1)O/N of cells for Whole-Cell PCR (E.coli K12 for lacZ or Shewie for GTFs) 2)O/N of cells for competency then transformation (E.coli to get plasmid with just lacZ) 3)Selection plates (gent for plasmid pJQ200)

Whole-Cell PCR (3 hours) -prepare agarose gel Gel electrophoresis with SYBR safe (1 hour) -prepare Qiagen PCR Cleanup Kit Qiagen PCR Cleanup (0.5 hour) -prepare digestion plasmid Prepare digestion of PCR products (0.5 hour) Digestion of PCR products and plasmid (3 hours) -prepare Qiagen PCR Cleanup Kit -prepare agarose gel (SYBR safe) Qiagen PCR Cleanup of PCR products and run gel electrophoresis of plasmid (1 hour) -prepare Qiagen Gel Extraction Kit Qiagen Gel Extraction of plasmid from gel (0.5 hour) -prepare ligation Ligation (1 hour) -prepare competent cells from O/N culture Transformation (0.5 hour) -warm plates Plate cells
