Week Four

Monday, 7/7/14

• PCR extracted backbone from pKS001 plasmid with overhangs for Biobrick prefixes & suffixes
• PCR purification of PCR product and then 1 hour incubation at 37°C with DPN1 enzyme to remove any remaining sticky ends
• PCR purification of DPN1-digested product
• Ran a gel that confirmed presence of ~3000bp-long DNA fragment in both DPN1-digested and undigested PCR products
• Gibson Assembly of the PCR fragments with the geneblocks ordered 2 weeks ago to form exportDomain-comX-mNeonGreen constructs in the vector backbone
• Transformation of assemblies into JM109. Plated on ampicillin plates and incubated at 37°C overnight
