Janet's Tips

Janet is developing a protocol here

Design:

Fragments

  • overlap by 40 bp
  • efficiency

Oligo (primer) Design

PCR

Assembly

Transformation

  • Electroporation can give much higher efficiency. For this reason, the assembled product is usually electroporated.
    • rxn product is salty: can be a problem for electrocompetent cells. Rob Egbert dilutes the competent cells when transforming with electroporation. Not so much a problem when using chemically competent cells.
    • Janet electroporates 2 uL

Screening

  • Colony PCR 1st
  • Sequence a few clones with primers that cover the "seams."

Misc:

- Electrocompetence is ~ 1000x more effective so is tempting. -
