Protocols

A list of all protocols developed during the project. We used this page as a reference throughout the competition.

Amplification of DNA

  • Polymerase Chain Reaction : A method for amplifying a section of DNA.
  • Colony PCR : PCR with cells as a template. Useful for checking the length of an insert in an introduced plasmid.

Analysis of DNA

Preparation of DNA Constructs

  • Primer Design : Some general guidelines on how to design successful primers.
  • Gibson Assembly : An extremely powerful technique for joining multiple, arbitrary DNA sequences in one step, compatible with standard assembly.
