Team Fence

Colonies from yesterday's ligations

Gel extraction of EcR-Gal Bam Nco

  • applied 3x gel volume of QG buffer (in μL) to each respective tube
  • placed in 42°C bath until the gel was melted
  • added 1 gel volume of isopropanol to each, and vortexed
  • applied contents of each tube to a QIAquick spin collumn
  • spun for 1 min
  • added 500μL QG buffer (to dissolve any remaining agarose)
  • spun for 1 min
  • added 750μL PE buffer
  • spun for 1 min, discared flow-through
  • spun for another minute
  • placed QIAquick collumn in a fresh, labeled eppendorf tube, applied 50μL EB buffer to elute, and spun for 1 min


Nanodrop of Gal4 and EcR Gel Extractions

Gal-EcR (1) 3.1 2.45
Gal-EcR (2) 4.5 1.72
Gal-EcR (3) 3.0 11.56

Team Flavor

Transformation of J45004

  • 5μL of registry DNA was transformed with 15μL TURBO cells; mixture was plated on LB+AMP and left to grow O/N

Team Allergy

  • Gel extracte V9/V10 backbone

Concentrations: V9 (9.4 ng/uL; V10 (16.4 ng/uL)

  • Ligated ihpRNA inserts into V9/V10 and transformed
    • For our ligations we only used ~ 2uL of backbone (around 18 and 32 ng of backbone)and used a 3x excess of insert
  • Verified that amiRNA stitching of Bet, LTP yielded the proper insert with a low level of background through PCR:

  • Digested Bet,LTP inserts with X+P, B21 with X+P+phosphatase
  • Ligated, transformed
    • 0-7: Bet, corresponding to 65..55 degrees C for stitching Tm (even spacing)
    • 8-15: LTP, corresponding to 65.55 degrees C during stitching annealing, even spacing
