Revision as of 04:56, 13 October 2014
Note:
Litmus28ibb is a biobricked version of the Litmus28i (from NEB) vector which contains the M13ori (packaging signal) which allows for uptake into M13 or Fd phage. While making this part biobrick compatible, we added J04450 as the insert.
pCas9 (BBa_K1218011) contains and tracrRNA and Cas9 gene under native promoters, and a minimal CRISPR arrays. The guide RNA (referred here as gRNA) is inserted into the CRISPR array.

- -No growth for no DNA controls (on Chlor)
- -4 colonies for Litmus28bb-JO4450-Cas9 (on Amp-> none are red)
- Picked all 4 colonies for O/Ns
7/28
- 3 new red colonies on Litmus28bb-Cas9-J04450 plate
