Protocols

Resuspending DNA from registry-parts:

  • Poke a hole in foil of corresponding well
  • Resuspend DNA in 10 µL dH2O (pipette up and down a few times)
  • Wait 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the resuspended DNA to pCR tube and store in -20C.


Transforming competent cells:

  • Thaw competent cells on ice
  • Mix with 2 µL plasmid DNA
  • Incubate on ice 30 minutes
  • Heat-shock cells 45 seconds in 42C water-bath.
  • Incubate 5 minutes on ice
  • Add 200 µL SOC
  • Incubate the Eppendorf tubes in Erlenmeyer flask 37C shaking incubator for 2 hours
  • Plate 50 µl and 200 µl of the transformation onto the dishes, and spread.
  • Incubate ON in 37C


Isolating plasmids:

  • Inoculate one colony in 3 mL LB with appropriate antibiotic. (IE 1,5µL amp stock in 3 mL LB)
  • Grow in shaking incubator 30C ON
  • Isolate plasmid using [http://www.ebiotrade.com/buyf/productsf/Promega/tb225.pdf SV Miniprep procedure]
  • Store in -20C


Gel Extraction:

  • Using QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit [http://molecool.wustl.edu/krolllab/Kroll_Lab_Protocols/Molecular%20Biology%20protocols/Cloning%20protocols%20folder/Gel%20extraction-Qiagen.pdf protocol]
  • except eluating with dH20


Restriction Digest:

  • Add 500ng of DNA to be digested, and adjust with dH20 for a total volume of 42.5ul.
  • Add 5ul of NEBuffer 2 to the tube.
  • Add 0.5µl of BSA to the tube.
  • Add 1µl of your first enzyme.
  • Add 1µl of your second enzyme.
  • There should be a total volume of 50ul. Mix well and spin down.
  • Incubate the restriction digest at 37C for 30min, and then 80C for 20min to heat kill the enzymes.


Recipes used in the lab

LB Broth

  • Bacto-tryptone: 10 g/L
  • Yeast extract: 5 g/L
  • NaCl 5 g/L

Adjust pH to 7,4 with NaOH, autoclave.

LA

  • Dissolve LB
  • Add agar, 15 g/L

Adjust pH to 7,4 with NaOH, autoclave.

SOC:

  • Bacto-tryptone: 20 g/L
  • Yeast extract: 5 g/L
  • NaCl 0,5 g/L
  • 10 mL 250 mM KCl (25mM) → 0,186 g / 10mL H20
  • 5 mL 2M MgCl2 (10mM) → 0,952 g / 5mL

Autoclave, cool, then add:

  • 20 mL 1M sterile-filtered glucose (20mM)

Ampicillin-plates:

Use stock 200 mg/mL. → 100µg/mL in liquid agar. I.E. 250 µL stock in 500 mL agar. Add when cool enough to pour.


Spectinomycin-plates:

Use stock 100 mg/mL. → 100µg/mL in liquid agar. I.E. 500 µL stock in 500 mL agar. Add when cool enough to pour.


Ampicillin-IPTG plates:

Ampicillin 100 µg / mL (500 µL amp stock (200 mg/mL) in 500 mL agar) IPTG 0,1 mM ( 63,5 µL IPTG stock (0,8 M))
