- Gel 2 has some promising inserts:
- GFP1 samples 1,2, and 3 from 7/7 transformation
- GFP2 samples 7,8, and 9 from 7/7 transformation
- Glycerol stocks frozen for these six samples
- Next Steps:

- Strong RBS-GFP
- Plated on LB+Cm
July 10
Gel cleanup of 3 backbones with Zymoclean prep kit
- Some tubes had to be divided into two samples for cleanup
- Final elution was 20 uL each into 2-3 tubes per backbone
- Nanodrops looked unclean: Most had high peak around 220-240 nm
- pSB6A1: 300mg + 120 mg gel = 230.4 ng/uL
- Peak ~220, then hump ~260
- pSB6A1: 270 mg gel = 220 ng/uL
- Peak, then hump as before
- pSB3K3: 320 mg gel = 53.9 ng/uL
- No clear sign of DNA in graph
- pSB3K3: 230 mg gel = 20 ng/uL
- No DNA
- pSB3K3: 130 mg gel = 72 ng/uL
- Possibly DNA, best option but may not be useful
- pSB4K5: 290 mg gel = 43.4 ng/uL
- No clear sign of DNA in graph
- pSB4K5: 320 mg gel = 117.3 ng/uL
- Possibly DNA, best option but may not be useful
Culture 3 colonies of pSB1C3-K608012
- In order to switch into pSB6A1
Analytical Digest of promising crRNA inserts
- XbaI/BsaI digest
- In order to confirm that plasmids are not uncut pdCas9
- Samples 7-1-1,2,3 and 7-2-7,8,9 (6 tubes) plus pdCas9 as control
Agarose gel of digest results:
- 1. pdCas9
- 2-4. pdCas9-crRNA-GFP1, samples 1,2,3
- 5-7. pdCas9-crRNA-GFP2, samples 7,8,9
- Expected:
- 2 bands at 4.2 and 5.1 kb in pdCas9
- 1 band at 9.3 kb in successful plasmids with inserts
- Results:
- pdCas9 appears to be an incomplete digest, showing 2 small and 1 large band
- Lack of any trace of smaller bands in 6 experimental samples indicates successful inserts.

- Q5 polymerase, with 64C annealing and 2 min extension
Agarose gel of PCR (and digest) results:
- Lanes 1-4: dCas9-tracrRNA PCR (0, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0 uL template)
- Lanes 5-8: tracrRNA PCR (0, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0 uL template)
- Lanes 9-10: pSB1C3-R0011 SpeI/PstI digests
- Results:
- dCas9-tracr PCR appears correct, band ~4 kb in 3 lanes
- tracrRNA PCR unclear: strong primer-sized band may be correct, faint bands ~4 kb indicate off-target extension.
- tracrRNA PCR should be done with shorter extension time
PCR cleanup of dCas9-tracrRNA PCR

Analytical digest of dCas9
- One tube with BsaI/EcoRI

- 3. XbaI (2/15) / EcoRI: expected 3 bands at 5.7, 2.1, 1.4 kb
- Results: Lanes 1 and 3 look as expected. Lane two has one extra band at 3.5 kb corresponding to partial digestion with XbaI. 5/14 XbaI tube is ineffective and has been thrown out
