In all above reactions, volume of plasmid vector added corresponds with 100ng backbone.
Prepare control ligation reactions (no inserts) for each of the above constructs.
  • Same volume of vector backbone, buffer, ligase
  • Volumes of all inserts (i.e. gene or primer pairs) go toward volume of H2O
After ligation setup, incubate in 16°C waterbath overnight.
