I) Results for yeaterday's tranformation.

CBG = Cohesive, Bangalore Genei BBG = Blunt, Bangalore Genei CP = Cohesive, Promega PCR

  • CBG
  • NEB 1 Colony
  • DH5a ~50 Colonies
  • BBG
  • NEB 2 Colonies
  • DH5a ~150 Colonies
  • CP
  • NEB 0 Colonies
  • ~70 Colonies
  • PCR
  • NEB 0 Colonies
  • DH5a ~130 Colonies


Hence, DH5a Rocks...

Also, PCR works.


II) Inoculated a single colony of this to LB+KAN for plasmid isolation.

III) Yesterdays PCR gave us only 2 bands, other than the expected range.. :-(

Why?

  • Wrong template?
  • Wrong ladder?


--rerun gel and rerun pcr--

III) Ran a test PCR of a-Mating Factor, p3w13d


IV) Double RE digest of Lycopene Cyclase.

Ran a gel.

Great gel, expected result.

V) Gel Eluted.

  • XP - 159ng/ul
  • SP - 56 ng/ul


kept for ligation.
