'''Purpose:''' to test the efficiency of sRNA repression. This will be accomplished by forming two plasmids by ligating the target sequence of the sRNA onto the pXG-10 plasmid behind the reporter gene GFP and ligating the sRNA gene into the pJU-334 DNA strand. These plasmids will then be transformed into E. coli and the fluorescence measured with a plate reader.
