Week 6

Monday 6th August 2007

1. Maia checked the presence and size of (*m*) and (*s*) inserts within the Topo vector by repeating the PCR performed on 02/08. Results confirmed presence of inserts with the correct size. The TOPO vectors containing (*m*) and (*s*) were then sent for sequencing to ensure the inserts did not contain any mistakes. DNA sequenced and the primers used are summarized in the table below.
   

   Label	B1	B3	C5
   Gene	(*m*)	(*s*)	(*m*)
   Colony	17,18,19,26	20	25,24
   Primers	(*m*)_for_1 + Methyl _2	(*s*)_for_1 + Oxy_2	(*m*)_for_1 + (*m*)_rev_1

   (NB - For each 2 x 10µl was sent)
   

2. Christine repeated the cloning of the 7-gene operon into TOPO vector using fresh PCR product. The PCR performed was a repeat of the PCR from 31/07. 4 µl of PCR product was cloned into TOPO vector. (see Protocol 12)

   Tuesday 7th August 2007

   1. Christine transformed TOP10 cells with TOPO vector containing the 7 gene operon.
   2. (*d→g*) were amplified again with KOD XL and KOD using the respective programs (see Protocol 9). Expected size is 3.5 kb. Primers used are listed below:
   3. PCR product from the reaction descibed above was resolved on a 1% agarose gel, DNA of the correct size gel extracted (see Protocol 11) and cloned into the TOPO vector
