From OpenWetWare
To Do:
*Culture up the ligated parts (J37022 & J37025) for miniprep (to check whether ligations from Monday
were successful) from plates in incubator
*Make frozen stock of 4G(S01656), J37018 and colony 2 of J37020
*Make more 50 times TAE
*Culture for testing: T9002, J37015, J37020 (colony 2)
*To order: LB medium (or make up ourselves & send to autoclave) & make some LB Amp to have in stock
Autoclaved flasks (and cuvettes?)
Need more eppendorfs
More LB Amp plates ? (How many more do we need for our remaining time - there are about 10 left)
*Gels from the weekend need to be analysed: Were J37018 & J37024 ligations successful ?
LoxP PCR
- Run once more, this time with DMSO, and a larger amount of maxiprepped DNA
- Major breakthrough - discovered that the reason for the repeated failures maybe that the DNA is there, but is not showing up.
- Today's gel was looked at immediately after being run and two distinct bands could be seen - however these disappeared once left for a few minutes.
- Once immersed in Ethidium bromide solution, the bands reappeared under the UV light.
