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.

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.

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.
