Gel Purification of PCR products A~G and 1~7
PCR product of the expected size was excised from .8% agarose gel and gel purified using the Invitrogen gel purification kit. Protocol as detailed in the kit.
Second Round PCR
For stitching products A~G to 1~7. Gel purified PCR products from the above reaction were used.
| PCR mix | PCR program | <Reaction, TemplateI, TemplateII> |
|---|---|---|
| 5ul 10x buffer\\
2.5ul 10x Enhancer 0.6ul dNTPs (25mM stock) 2.5ul MgSO4 (Supplied in PCR kit) 1.5ul Primer BL_FP1_s (10uM stock) 1.5ul Primer VR (10uM stock) 5ul Template I {A~G} 5ul Template II {1-7} 0.4ul Pfx 27ul ddH2O | 94°C - 5'

Gel purification of second round PCR product
All the reactions had large smears, but we cut out a band around 2.3kb (expected size) and gel purified as above.
Digestion/Ligation of Second Round PCR product

Incubated at RT for 2hrs then transformed into competent DH5-alpha. Also included some 5minute ligation incubation controls => 5 minute ligations are significantly (~5x) more efficient than 2 hours.
Pick 2 colonies per death plasmid ligation, and 4 colonies per RBS ligation and culture in LB+Amp for 12hrs.
