  • More extensive minipreps - this time of all the genomic promoter ligations.
  • Plated our glycerol stocks of the successful gels from friday to make sure everything worked properly.
  • Ran a plate of our controls at the high-throughput lab.
  • Digested and ran the genomic promoter ligations on a gel
