</span>It would be easier just to have it all in one place and be | |||

<p class=MsoNormal>Sizes all look reasonable, but I didn’t check all that | |||
carefully.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>The band pattern of the “d” | |||
digest of Bca9008 (<span class=SpellE>BglII/MfeI</span>) confirms the presence | |||
of the restriction sites.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>I don’t plan | |||

these cassettes are RBS-ORF composites, no terminators.<span | |||

class=SpellE>dblTerm</span> downstream of the <span class=SpellE>BglII/MfeI</span> | |||
insertion sites.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>So, the product of | |||
conversion is an RBS-ORF-TT composite.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> | |||
</span>Part 9027 is for conversion of <span class=SpellE>biobricks</span> into | |||
pBAC874t via a <span class=SpellE>NotI/EcoRI</span> <span class=SpellE>subclone</span>.<span | |||
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>It destroys the <span class=SpellE>NotI</span> | |||
site between <span class=SpellE>EcoRI</span> and <span class=SpellE>XbaI</span> | |||
so that the one between <span class=SpellE>SpeI</span> and <span class=SpellE>PstI</span> | |||
is unique.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>It also puts in <span | |||
class=SpellE>dblTerm</span>.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>To put | |||
parts into pBca9027, I would <span class=SpellE>subclone</span> into <span | |||

<p class=MsoNormal>They all map funky, so I’m redoing all that stuff with | |||

out of that gel, the rest looked like shit.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> | |||
</span>I didn’t even save the gel.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> | |||
</span>Originally, I was doing a different set of <span class=SpellE>subclones</span>, | |||
so that’s not here, it included <span class=SpellE>mgrB</span>.<span | |||
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>For the remaining ones on the list above, I | |||
went with inserts either from PCR (<span class=SpellE>flu<span class=GramE>,fdhf</span></span>, | |||
wbb992) or existing digests (<span class=SpellE>AraInv</span>).<span | |||
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>So the first list above is the “correct” | |||
list.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>I’ll need to make new maps of some | |||
of this—I don’t have a map for flu or <span class=SpellE>fdhF</span>, and | |||
wbb992 will replace the <span class=SpellE>TetWbb</span>-derived <span | |||
class=SpellE>subclone</span>.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>I just | |||
relegated the 1015 basic <span class=SpellE>TriR</span> part, and plated on | |||
both Amp and Tri/Amp to make sure I got <span class=SpellE>cfus</span> in case | |||
there is something weird (like <span class=SpellE>TetR</span> colony reduction) | |||
with <span class=SpellE>Trimethoprim</span> resistance.</p> | |||
