Week of August 15
Aug 11
(TR,CB) We still have no N eutropha template to work with so we are just helping other groups out this week where we can.
Aug 13
Week of August 22
Aug 18
(TR,CB) We have decided that in the mean time, while we are waiting for template for the N eutropha, we are going to try and finishing our cloning for N multiformis. We took template for N multiformis genomic DNA from a frozen stock to synthesize the 500bp front and back halves of our insert again. Then we used the Common Procedure for q5 high fidelity DNA Polymerase to do PCR.
Aug 20
(TR,CB) Ran a gel electrophoresis on Monday's PCR products. We saw that both, the front and back halves of our insert were present around the 500bp mark.
Week of August 29
Aug 25
(TR,CB) Performed SOEing PCR on the front and back halves of insert to go into pSR47s plasmid. We used the high fidelity q5 DNA polymerase.
Aug 26
(TR) Electrophoresed our SOEing PCR product. The gel came out with only a band around 500bp, so something didn't work correctly.
Aug 27
(TR,CB) Started another SOEing PCR to try and prepare the insert for cloning, using q5 DNA polymerase. Also started overnight cultures for some plasmid preps of the pSR47s plasmid, so that we have plenty of vector to work with.
Aug 28
(TR,CB) Performed a plasmid prep of the overnight cultures with pSR47s. Ran a gel electrophoresis of our PCR product and found that the SOEing didn't work again.
