CUgem bootcamp training session (day 2)

1. Setup ligation reaction using 50-100ng of backbone and 1:3 ratio of insert to backbone. Put at room temperature for 2 hours.

2. Desalt the ligation samples on a membrane.

3. Electroporate the samples in the electrocompetent cells.

4. Shake the cells in 37°C shaker for hour.

5. Plate the cells onto the plate with appropriate antibiotic. Incubate it overnight at 37°C.

Cugem bootcamp training session (day 3)

1. Check the colonies on the plates.
