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)
