We decided it was time to revamp our error-prone PCR protocol. Using [http://www.springerlink.com/content/t701h6021352406w/#section=87105&page=1 this] paper as a guide, we created 16 different protocols, with the intention of picking the one that produces the most viable mutants.

Week 7

--Monday 7/25/11--

We continued with construction today and, once again, extracted the cut Promoters+GFP and repressors from a gel. We ligated the promoters+GFP in from of I13453 and the repressors before B0034. Hopefully this is the last time we will have to ligate and transform these parts.

--Tuesday 7/26/11--

The insert controls for yesterday's transformations looked good, but there were still a good amount of colonies on the vector controls. We decided to do a PCR screen of these parts to make sure that they were the right length.

Today was also "Tip Day"! We filled enough tip boxes to last us a quite a while.
