J33240 PCR products from 5/30/11
Colony PCR products from above

     Results: The gel showed that the insert (J33240) PCR worked, but the assembly did not work. We came to this conclusion because the constructs on the gel were less than 500 base pairs and our desired construct should have been about 1100 base pairs. Thus, we needed to do assembly for a third time. We started this third assembly with the R0100 miniprep from 5/26/11 and the J33204 PCR products from 5/30/11.

Vector: R0010 using SpeI and PstI
Ligation J33204+R0010 digests
