iGEM UCLA




Intro: Today I delved into the specifics of resuspending newly synthesized DNA once we receive it from IDT. Phil and I discussed primer design in more detail. We will order the cage gene flanked by the iGEM prefix and suffix, then use one round of PCR with primers overlapping the cage gene itself and including the NdeI and XhoI sites. Additionally, I designed amplification primers for the cage gene itself. Phil and I researched which sequencing primers to use for the pET22b vector.
