- 25 June 2007: Resuspended the following from Registry plates & Transformed (shorter protocol) into competent DH5alpha cells.
- 26 June 2007: Resuspended the following from Registry plates & Transformed into Joe's competent DH5alpha cells.
- 26 June 2007: Streaked the following cells:
- pJS010 (from solid agar, Amp)
- Fusion protein (from glycerol stock, Amp?)
- BBa_I15010 (from solid agar, Kan)
- 27 June 2007: Transformed into Joe's competent DH5alpha cells.
Liquid culture
- Prepared 30mL of Amp LB (100ug/mL). Prepared 5mL Kan LB (50mg/mL).
- Aliquoted 5mL Amp LB into 6 50mL falcon tubes
- To the Amp LB aliquots single transformed colonies from plates of the following were introduced:
- To the Kan LB a single colony from the transformation plate of BBa_I15010 was introduced.
- Cells incubated at 37degrees with shaking overnight.

Week 2
- 2 July 2007: Resuspended the following from Registry plates & Transformed into Joe's competent DH5alpha cells.
- Q04510
- E0241
- E0040
- B0014
- J61035
- 3 July 2007: Re Transformed into Joe's competent DH5alpha cells. Each Plate had additional 40uL of 50mg/ml Ampicillan spread on surface.
- 4 July 2007:
Ampicillin Plates
- Made up 25 Ampicillin plates using 400mL LB agar prepared on the 25th of June.
- Used 100mg/ml Ampicillin stock from Gooley Lab - In bag in left freezer near our lab bench.
Tranformation
Transformed the following and grew on new ampicillin plates
- P1 5H
- P4 8J
- P2 15L
- Also Plated an untransformed control (subjected to transformation protocol in absense of DNA) and a blank plate control (no cells)
Liquid Culture
- Cultured 2 colonies from each of the following transformed plates and labelled as follows
5 July 2007
Miniprep
- 1mL culture from the 4th of Julyput aside for glycerol stocks under sterile conditions. Labelled with todays date 5/7
- miniprepped the following overnight cultures set up on the 4th of July. Final elution was performed with TE buffer prepared on 25/06/07 rather than nuclease free water. Labelled with todays date 5/7.
- the following liquid cultures were not miniprepped due to failure (no growth)
Digest
Performed the following digests on DNA from the above miniprep
EcoRI/PstI with buffer 3
EcoRI/HaeII in buffer 2
XbaI/SpeI in buffer 2
Incubated for 2hours at 37 degrees, before addition of loading dye and storage at -20
Transformation
- Transformed P1 11H from resuspended DNA.
Liquid Culture
6 July 2007
Digest Gel
- Prepared 20 lane 100mL agarose gel with 0.5xTBE buffer.
- Loaded 20uL of digest samples in the following lane order
- Ran for 1.5hours at 95V
Miniprep
- Put aside 1mL of liquid cultures set up on the 5th for glycerol stocks and labelled with todays date 6/7
- Miniprepped the remains of the cultures and labelled with todays date 6/7. Samples were eluted with TE buffer.
- P1 5H 1
- P1 5H 2
- P4 8J 1
- P4 8J 2
- P2 15L 1
- P2 15L 2
Digest
- Digested 5uL of each of the above miniprep DNA with EcoRI and PstI in buffer 3.
- Incubated for 2hours 25min at 37degrees
- Added 5uL 6x loading dye and stored at -20
Glycerol Stocks
The following glycerol stocks were made:
- Put aside from cultures 5/7 (labelled with this date)
- Put aside from cultures 6/7 (labelled with this date)
- P1 5H 1
- P1 5H 2
Stored at -80
Liquid Culture
Cultured the following in 5mL LB
Also placed Kan plate in the incubator to test antibiotic efficiency - no growth on 8/7
7 July 2007
Digest Gel
- Prepared 8 lane 60mL agarose gel with 1xTAE buffer.
