Results of yesterday transformation

Both plates grew (RFP test and CFP) We can see a couple of clones on each plate -> 2 clone son each plate picked in were put in 5ml LB + antibiotic, and put at 37°C (9h00)

Transformation

The 2 RO1 (gel & purified) that have ligated overnight at 4°C have been transformed in competent DH5 a. They were then plated on LB/agar + Amp plates. -> put in incubator at 37°C

Second test for the digested PCR Klenow for purity: Apparently no DNA in the last, and maybe not even in the first two.

Klenow protocol

New protocol used with no purification step, everything is prepared to go trough all reaction up to the end of the digestion, ready for the ligation without going through any step of purification. This will avoid losing DNA due to the small size of the TrpO (127bp).

Goal: we want 100ng/ul od DNA at the end
length of TrpO:127bp
molecular weight: 78.522 . 10^3 g/mol
