DNA Gel purification:
I made a big mistake here. I purified the brightest ones, which are vectors. So I do the double digest again.

Double digest (again):
L1, L2, t2, t3:

Spe11uL
EcoR11uL
plasmid4uL
Buffer2uL
water12uL

37 ℃ over night.

Result

There is a polluted line at about 1kb place, but it did not confuse us. The right place of L1 & L2 is about 1.3kb and of t2 & t3 is about 800bp.
L1-1~3, L2-1~3, t2-1&3 and t3-1~2 should be the positive clones.
4 clones were successfully constructed:
L1 & L2: 2×B0034-C0012-B0015
T2 & t3: 2×B0034-C0040-B0015
