mm/dd: Sample Entry

Today we began cloning our GFP.

  • PCR'd off template
  • Ran gel
  • Restriction digest
  • Ligated into backbone

For our ligation, we made the following modifications:

  1. Tried it with newly bought ligase
  2. Left reaction overnight instead of 2 hrs
  3. Vector to insert ratio was 1:5 instead of 1:3

PCR Reaction:

Component Volume
5X Q5 Reaction Buffer 5
10 mM dNTPs 0.5
10 uM Forward (primer 3/7) 1.25
10 uM Reverse (primer 8) 1.25
Template (diluted to 1ng/uL) 0.5
Q5 High Fidelity DNA Polymerase 0.25
Nuclease Free Water 16.25

Gel: Lot of bands, all at correct sizes

Goals

Goals
