July 17th - July 23rd
Sunday
- Successfully miniprepped 1 sample of GFP + avitag (the second sample got messed up)
- Ran a gel on the RFP that was PCRed on Saturday. We also cut out the bands.
- Sean will innoculate 6 tubes of GFP-containing bacteria--1 tube for us, and 5 tubes for CURIE.
Monday
Lab work done by: Charlie Chung & Youjin Cho
- Gel purified 2 RFP PCR samples from Friday.
- Miniprepped 2 samples of GFP + avitag.
Tuesday
Lab Work Done By: James Mathew Submitted GFP+avitag genes for synthesis
Submitted pZE-12 backbone for subcloning of light sensor
Wednesday
Lab Work Done By: James Mathew
Set up ligation reaction of pZE-12 backbone with the primer dimer insert.
Digestion of Backbone
- 26 ul Backbone plasmid = 2 ug DNA
- 5 ul Buffer #4 (optimal for SphI-HF and ClaI-HF)
- 1 ul SphI & 1 ul ClaI
- 16.5 ul H20
left in water bath for one hour
- 1 ul CIAP added to digestion reaction
left in water bath for 30 minutes
Ran Digestion Product through gel for 30 minutes at 120 V.
Lane 1: 2 ul 1kb Ladder + 2 ul 6X Dye + 8 ul H20
Lane 2: 25 ul digestion reaction + 5 ul 6X Dye
Lane 3: 25 ul digestion reaction + 5 ul 6X Dye
