<br>Order MaoA in two parts, N and C terminals.
 +
<br>
 +
<br><b>Week 2</b>
 +
<br><b>16/06</b>
 +
<br>Digest pSB1C3 (1.23O2), pSB1A3 (4.2H1) and pSB1K3 (4.6B1) with EcoRI HF and PstI. Digest MaoA N and MaoA C (EcoRI HF/PstI).
 +
<br>Gel purify backbones, PCR purify inserts. Nanodrop.

 +
<br><b>17/06</b>
 +
<br>Ligate MaoA N 1 to pSB1C3, MaoA N 2 to pSB1K3, and MaoA C to pSB1A3. Transform.
 +
<br>
 +
<br><b>18/06</b>
 +
<br>Growth appears on all plates (except for negative control). Less growth on the plates with backbone only which indicates that some of the insert ligated into the vector.
 +
Culture 3 colonies from each plate.
 +
<br>
 +
<br><b>19/06</b>
 +
<br>Miniprep cultures. Nanodrop.
 +
<br>

<br>Diagnostic digest to show if inserts are actually present. pSB1K3 seems to have false positives.

<br><b>22/06</b>
 +
<br>Prepare miniprep products (MaoA N1 and MaoA C) for sequencing.
 +

 +
<br><b>Week 5</b>
 +
<br><b>29/06</b>

 +
<br>
 +
<br>Send pSB1C3+ MaoA N+MaoA C 1 and 2 for sequencing.
 +
<br>Run a diagnostic digest on them.
 +
<br>Diagnostic digest shows that MaoA N and C did not fuse, as together they should be around 2.3 kb and the insert is much smaller, closer to 1 kb which is the size of MaoA N alone.
 +
<br>Culture 4 more colonies from pSB1C3+MaoA N+MaoA C to see if there was successful fusion in any of them.
 +

<br>Run diagnostic digest to see if the fusion worked.
 +
<br>
 +
<br>Diagnostic gel shows that the fusion did not work.
 +
<br>
 +
<br><b>Week 6</b>
 +
<br><b>07/07</b>
 +
<br>Retry fusing MaoA together. Digest pSB1C3 +MaoA N (AgeI/SpeI) and pSB1A3+MaoA C (NgoMIV/SpeI). Treat pSB1C3+ MaoA N with Antarctic phostphatase.
 +

<br>Ligate MaoA C into pSB1C3+MaoA N.

<br>
 +
<br><b>08/07</b>
 +
<br>Transform ligation results to see if MaoA fused.
 +
<br>
 +
<br><b>09/07</b>
 +
<br>No growth on plates which indicates that MaoA did not fuse.
 +
<br>Try fusion again by going back to the gBlock. Digest pSB1C3+MaoA N (AgeI/SpeI) and the MaoA C gBlock (NgoMIV/SpeI). Treat pSB1C3+MaoA N with Antarctic Phosphatase. Ligate the two together. Transform the ligation.
 +
<br>
 +
<br><b>10/07</b>
 +
<br>No colonies on control plates (backbone only), quite a few colonies on plates of backbone plus insert which indicates fusion of MaoA.
 +
<br>
 +
<br><b>12/07</b>
 +
<br>Inoculate colonies of transformants.
 +
<br>

<br><b>Week 7</b>
