1. Recovery of genes: (2 days)
   1. Recover the plasmid from paper provided into solution.(method)
   2. Transform E.Coli strain DH5alpha. Screen with Amp 100ug/ml (as per ref.)(electroporation & heatshock)
   3. pick 3 colonies of each
   4. Overnight Culture x9(6 above and 3 form agar block provided)
   5. Miniprep
   6. Produce glycerol stocks
   7. Confirm presence in recovered sample using digest.(HindIII)
   8. ->Established Supply of Plasmid
