Byte Amplification and End Preparation

This procedure allows for the amplification of any gene or part in the pAB and pBA plasmids. The procedure is the same for both pAB and pBA Byte Amplifcation with the only difference being the universal primers (for pAB Bytes use pAB+ and pAB-, for pBA Bytes use pBA+ and pBA-).

What you will need:

• Overnight with bacterial growth
• Screw cap tubes
• Glycerol

Byte PCR and Digestion:

• Pipet 150 uL 50% glycerol into 3* properly labeled 1.5 ml screw cap tubes.
• Add 350 uL of overnight culture to each tube.
• Pipet up and down to gently mix.
• Flash freeze in liquid N2 or dry ice/methanol bath
• Place in -80 C freezer when frozen.

Ethanol Precipitation

• If we make extra we have them if we need to send them out or want to store in several locations.
