Ligation

After following our digestion protocol a ligation can be performed.
Different ratios of vector:insert are used, to get the best result out of the ligation.
To check for self-closing vectors a vector-only sample will be ligated.

Materials

  • PCR tubes/PCR plate
  • vector and insert DNA
  • dH20
  • T4 DNA ligase
  • T4 DNA ligase buffer


Note: All materials should be held on ice during preparation.

1. Incubate for ON at 16C.
2. Incubate for 20min at 80C to heat kill.
3. Use 2ul of ligation to transform into competent cells.
