Protocols

A list of all protocols developed during the project. To add one, use the section below.

Amplification of DNA

• Polymerase Chain Reaction : A method for amplifying a section of DNA

Analysis of DNA

• Gel Electrophoresis : A method used to separate DNA fragments of different sizes
• Gel Extraction of DNA : A technique used to isolate a desired fragment of intact DNA from an agarose gel following agarose gel electrophoresis
• Rescue Precipitation of DNA : Creating a clean DNA solution after dissolving agarose gel.
• Restriction Enzyme Digestion : A method for creating a restriction map of a plasmid

Preparation of DNA Constructs

• Gibson Assembly : A relatively new technique of joining multiple DNA strands reliably

Transformation of Bacterial Cells

• Making Competent Cells : The methods required to make various cells competent
• Transformation of E.Coli : A simple method of transforming competent E.coli with your DNA of choice
• Tranformation of B. subtilis : A technique used to introduce foreign DNA into Bacillus cells.

Bacterial Cultures

• E. coli cell culture : A method for growing a cell culture in liquid medium

Extraction of DNA from Cells

• Mini Prep : Extracting DNA from Bacterial Cells
• Extraction of genomic DNA from squid : A method to extract genomic DNA from squid tissue
