Principle: The insert is PCR-amplified using an error-reducing, high-fidelity polymerase (Phusion) and primers that add restriction sites to each end of the insert. The PCR product is cleaned up using a DNA-binding column. A predetermined amount of clean DNA is cut at the ends (or "clipped") and the 5'phosphates are removed in a 20 μL-reaction. Enzymes are deactivated at 75°C and a small amount of the reaction is used directly as insert in a ligation.
Plan the DNA Ligations
In your notebook, make a list of all insert+vector and vector-only controls that you will set up ligations for. Include...
- a short name for the construct
- a short name for the insert, what it will be cut with (in parentheses), and its length in bp
- a plus sign followed by the vector, what it will be cut with (in parentheses), and its length in bp
EXAMPLE List: In line 1, short name for the construct is AubR/MRV. The insert is Aub-PCR cut with EcoRI and XbaI, and it is 851 bp long. The vector is MRV, cut with EcoRI and XbaI, and it is 3201 bp long. The last line is the negative control. There is only one negative control because only one vector is being used for all of the ligations.
- AubR/MRV: AubR-PCR(E/X)/851 + MRV(E/X)/3201
- BjaR/MRV: BjaR-PCR(E/X)/776 + MRV(E/X)/3201
- BraR/MRV: BraR-PCR(E/X)/776 + MRV(E/X)/3201
- RpaR/MRV: RpaR-PCR(E/X)/779 + MRV(E/X)/3201
- Neg ctrl: MRV(E/X)/3201
Phusion PCR
- Design insert amplification primers that have the appropriate restriction sites on the ends. The restriction sites must be ABSENT from the insert sequence itself. See Table 1 for recommended sequence extensions
- Set up a Phusion PCR reaction as shown in Table 2. Use the template table to record your work in your notebook.
- Note: Use 50 - 100 ng of template DNA is the template is a plasmid. Use more DNA if the specific target is at a lower copy number (e.g. GAPDH gene in genomic DNA, ACTB gene in cDNA library, etc.).

Clean up PCR product(s)
- Use the Qiagen PCR Clean-up kit to purify the amplified DNA.
- In the final elution step, use 30 μL of elution solution.
- Measure the concentration(s) of the sample(s).
- Use the table below as a template to record your results in your notebook.
