Sunday, August 21
Evening lab work done by: Youjin Cho, Charlie Chung
- Picking Colonies and Starting Up Cultures of vioB Ligation Reaction
- (Avi-Tagged pZE12 backbone) control plate shows no growth of colonies
- (vioB + Avi-Tagged pZE12 backbone) plate shows numerous colonies
- - Picked three colonies (vioB+Avi+BB #1, 2, 3) and started 3mL cultures in LB with 3μL ampicillin
- - Incubated overnight in the 37°C shaker of Room 304
- PCR Reaction Setup of GFP (because sequencing results were negative)
- 38.5μL ddH2O
- 5μL 10x buffer
- 2.5μL dNTP
- 1μL forward GFP primer
- 1μL reverse GFP primer
- 1μL (pZE12+GFP) backbone template
- 1μL Vent DNA polymerase
- 50μL Total
- Annealing temperature of 54.2°C
- 1 minute extension cycle

Morning lab work done by: Youjin Cho
- Objective
- Miniprep the vioB+Avi-Tag+pZE12 samples and submit for sequencing.
- Miniprep and Sequencing
- Miniprepped the vioB+avi-tag+pZE12 (1,2,3) samples using standard Qiagen Miniprep protocol.
- Using 1μL of pZE12 reverse primer dilution and 17μL of each template, prepared and submitted the samples for sequencing.
- Order number: 10255430

Afternoon lab work done by: Claire Paduano, Maneesh Gupta, Youjin Cho, Charlie Chung
- Objective
- Set up new ligation of GFP and Avi-Tagged backbone
- Send out gel purified GFP PCR reaction product to troubleshoot why our procedure isn't working
- Conducted gel electrophoresis on PCR reaction product of GFP
- - Visualization of migrated DNA fragments does not show a GFP band around 750bp
- Redid PCR on GFP
