Determine insert to vector ratiosCalculate the amount of insert needed if 50ng of vector is used (can use different amount of vector)In a PCR tube add the following:50ng of vectorAmount of insert based on ratios (calculated in second step)2uL of buffer2uL of DNA ligaseAmount of water to bring total volume to 20uL
Incubate overnight at 14oCNote: We used T4 DNA ligase and buffer from NEB
