| - | + | Now that hopefully the whole reporter circuit is transformed into TOP10 cells, I have performed a colony PCR of those colonies with Biobrick CP F/R primers and with the following conditions: | |
| - | + | 94°C for 3 min; 36x (94°C for 30s; 53°C for 45s; 72°C for 1 min and 20s;) 72°C for 10 min; held at 4°C. | |

| + | Using Biobrick CP primers was a mistake, however, because I should have used <i>Pqrr4</i> F primer and Biobrick CP reverse primer. This would have allowed me to verify whether or not <i>Pqrr4</i> was not cut out during the construction. Another mistake was noticed, as I did not load any positive size control. Without any positive size controls to compare against, it is hard for me to tell whether or not it contains every piece of the circuit. Because of today's mistakes, I am planning to run another cPCR of the reporter circuit with 2 positive size controls, <i>Pqrr4</i> by itself and <i>Pqrr4</i> with B0034, and use <i>Pqrr4</i> Forward and biobrick CP Reverse primers. | ||

| + | Colonies 1 to 8 did not get amplified at all, and Colony 9 seemed to have been amplified, but not of the right size. The expected size is about 1043bp with some additional length added due to the primers annealing outside, and the band in Colony 9 lane is a bit higher than the expected size. | ||
