Miniprep samples from yesterday

Sequencing results:

M1-9(T7)

  • Colony 1,2 and 4 have the correct sequence

PCR amplify M1-12

Since previous PCRs using ICA elution as template did not work very well, first M1-12 PCR product was also tested as a template

Ran samples on 1% gel

Sample 1 with had no band Sample 2 had a very bright band close to the expected size

Maybe it was the ICA elution that was no longer in good condition?

Gel purified the band from sample 2
