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]
- 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.
Ligation:
- After digestion, separation, purification.
- Add 11ul of dH20
- Add 2ul from each sample you will be ligating (destination plasmid, and part)
- Add 2ul of T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer
- Add 1ul of T4 DNA Ligase
- Mix well, and spin down.
- Incubate for 30min at 16C and 20min at 80C to heat kill.
- Use 2ul of ligation to transform into competent cells.
Alternatively:
- After gel extraction:
- Add 1 µL T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer
- ca 6:1 molar ratio of insert to vector (~10ng vector)
- Add (8.5 - vector and insert volume)μl
- 0.5 μL T4 Ligase
PCR
PCR mix:
- Work on ice
- 0.5 µL DNA
- 5 µL 10x PCR buffer 2 (w/MgCl)
- 0.5 µL 10 mM dNTPs
- 1 µL fwd primer
- 1 µL rev primer
- 0.5 µL polymerase
- 41.5 µL H20
PCR program:
- Temperature of lid: 103°C
- Heat cycles:
- Initial denaturation: 94°C for 2 min
- Denaturing: 94°C for 30 s
- Annealing: 58°C for 30 s
- Elongation: 72°C for 60 s
- Repeat 2-4 34 times
- Final elongation: 72C 7 min
- Cooling: 4 C HOLD
