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
- Primer Design : Some general guidelines on how to design successful primers.
- 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
- Extraction of cleaner genomic DNA from squid : A method to extract genomic DNA from squid tissue
Microscopy
- Confocal Microscopy : A method to visualise reflectins from squid samples.
Protein Purification
- Buffer Preparation : Methods to prepare the various buffers used to purify his-tagged reflectin from inclusion bodies in E. coli.
- Inclusion Body Prep : A method to solubilise recombinant reflectin when it has been expressed in inclusion bodies in E. coli.
