<p>This step is performed in a laminar air flow cabinet (LAF). </p>
 
-
 
-
<p>We have used an electrocompetent E. coli strain (DH5&alpha;) and a sample from each product of ligation made in the previous step (three pUPD plasmids, each of them containing one of the three genes), so transformation is made three times.</p>

<p>Each mix is introduced in a electroporation vial and electroporated at 1500 V, then 300 &mu;L of SOC are added to each vial. All of them were incubated at 37ºC for 1 hour.</p>

<ul><li>We picked blue colonies instead of white by mistake. We need to pick colonies again but this time make sure we pick white colonies.</li>

<p>We picked again 3 colonies for each construction, and we made sure that we picked the WHITE ones. We cultivated them in a "double check" (name invented by us)  liquid medium. Those tubes contain:</p>
 
-
 
-
 
-
 
-
<ul><li>3.5 mL LB</li>
 
-
 
-
<li>7 &mu;L Amp</li>
 
-
 
-
<li>7 &mu;L X-Gal</li>
 
-
 
-
<li>3.5 &mu;L IPTG (turns the tube blue if the colonies picked were blue)</li>

-
</ul>
 
-
 
-
</br><p><h4>07/07/2014</h4></p>

-
<p>We made minipreps of yesterday's culture. Thanks to our "double check" medium we found which colonies were well picked. Finally we had minipreps of tubes HarFAR 1, 2, 3; EaDAcT 3 and Atr&Delta;11 2, 3.</p>
 
-
 
-
 
-
 
-
<p>Once we had the minipreps, we perform the digestions to check which were correct and send them to sequencing. This time we selected RsaI instead of BanII. The in silico digestions were as follows.</p>

<p>Everything was OK. We sent Atr&Delta;11 (3), HarFAR (3) and EaDAcT (3) to sequence.</p>

-
<p>Now, while we wait for sequencing results, we go on as they were going to be correct in order to save time.</p>
 
-
 
-
 
-
 
-
<p>The next step is to build a transciptional unit (TU) with our sequences. A transcriptional unit is a structure composed by promoter, coding sequence (CDS) and terminator in an &alpha; or &Omega; vector.</p>
 
-
 
-
 
-
 
-
<p>Reagents needed for ligation:</p>
 
-
 
-
 
-
 
-
<ul><li>1 &mu;L promoter 75 ng/&mu;L</li>
 
-
 
-
<li>1 &mu;L terminator 75 ng/&mu;L</li>
 
-
 
-
<li>1 &mu;L CDS 75 ng/&mu;L</li>
 
-
 
-
<li>1 &mu;L vector &alpha;</li>

<li>1.2 &mu;L ligase buffer 10x</li>

<li>1 &mu;L T4</li>

<li>1 &mu;L BsaI</li>

<li>4.2 &mu;L H20</li>
 
-
 
-
</ul>
 
-
 
-
<p>Total: 12 &mu;L</p>
 
-
 
-
 
-
 
-
<p>Take into account that if we want to make binary constructions later (merge 2 TU in a same vector), we need to clone each TU in a different &alpha; vector.</p>
