Aim

Describe the steps of a standard BioBricks assembly for two parts and include images of expected results (e.g., gels, seq files, etc). This will provide a walkthrough for someone new to BioBricks construction to practice with parts that are known together well.

Steps

Assumed starting point is from glycerol stocks of insert and vector.

Streak plates of insert and vector from glycerol stocks

Grow 5ml Cultures of each from a single colony

Miniprep plasmid DNA from cultures

Restriction digest insert and vector with appropriate enzymes

Extract vector and insert from gel

Ligate insert and vector

Transform ligation product into competent cells

Can use electroporation or chemical transformation

Screen colonies for correct plasmid by PCR

Miniprep DNA from chosen colony

Make glycerol and sequence DNA
