Week 5

23 July 2007

• Colony PCRed using vf2 and vR primers the transformations from 20/7. 3 colonies from ligation plate and one from plasmid control plate.

24 July 2007

• Ran Gel from PCRs (23/7) at 100V.

-results: colony 3 didn't give product.

• Streaked out some cells from index plate (No.3).

Week 6

30 July 2007

• Digested minipreprs from 9/7:
  1. P1 11A with X/P
  2. P1 15P with S/P

(no BSA or AP used).

• Inactivated enzymes at 80degreesC in a heat block for 10min.
• Ligated the two parts together (5ul each) overnight at 4degreesC.

31 July 2007

• Transformation of ligations from 31/7 into NM522 competent cells using 3ul of DMSO.

• Diagnostic Digest of
  1. P2 21B
  2. P2 23N
  3. P3 20I

using miniprep from 13/7. All digests were E/P.

Ran a Gel:

• 1. DNA ladder
  2. P2 21B
  3. P2 21B
  4. P2 23N
  5. P2 23N
  6. P3 20I
  7. P3 20I

-Results:

• 2. Low digestion efficiency
  3. Low digestion efficiency
  4. No insert seen but DNA present
  5. No insert seen but DNA present
  6. Ok digestion (not very good)
  7. Ok digestion (not very good)

--Digestion imcomplete??

1 Aug 2007

• Cultured 6 colonies picked from 1/8 transformations. A total of about 500 colonies grew with none on control (competent cells only plate).

• Transformation of P2 9E (LacZa with KanR) from iGEM plate.

2 Aug 2007

• Alkaline Lysis Miniprepped colonies from 2/8. (P1 11A + P1 15P ligation. Named OMP-YFP)

-results: colony 6 had two bands of sizes approximately 1000 and 1100bp.

• Streaked out colony 6 liquid culture on LBA plate and grew overnight.
