We should mention expected lengths of products here.

Assembly: first attempt

PCR

In the first round of PCR, we amplified fragments required for the assembly of GA1, GA2, GA3 and GA4 constructs.

Hold 95°C 2 min
Cycling Denaturing 95°C 10 s
Annealing 55°C 20 s
Elongation 72°C 150 s

We decided to use the 55°C annealing temperaure, although the predicted temperature for most primers is 5-10°C higher, because of a low annealing temperature of the VF2 primer.

  • Primers and template DNA provided by our supervisor Paul served as a positive control, but we did not detect any products on a gel.
