Chris's Agarose Gel Electrophoresis of the regular PCR of the CpxP promoter. The bands are very nonspecific, indicating that the DNA was not amplified.
Chris's Agarose Gel Electrophoresis of the restriction digest of the CpxP promoter. The bands are very inconsistent. The digest was done with XbaI and PstI.

To do: I13504 K239000 Miniprep C3, I13507 K239000 Miniprep all, I13504 K135000 Redo, I13507 K135000 I13504 K239000(plasmid switch) and PCR, I13507+K135000 C3,C4,C6.

PCR sequencing -order primers, gradient PCR

Today, I worked on the construction of K135000 with I13504.

Today, I ran agarose gel electrophoresis of the different CpxP promoters that were put into Ampicillin-chloramphenicol and ampicillin-kanamycin plasmids. The first gel that was run was of the promoters having been digested with the restriction enzymes XbaI and PstI. This gel can be seen on the right. The result of the gel showed bands around approximately 3000 bp, meaning tht the plasmid was not cut by the enzymes. The second gel that was run of the CpxP promoter after a regular PCR with Biobrick primers. The bands were very inconclusive and thus, we cannot conclude that the CpxP promoter is present.

Today I ran an agarose gel electrophoresis of the PCR product containing the diluted MalE Gene that was amplified on June 23, 2010 PCR. The primers used for this particular PCR were the ones containing the internal restriction sites. Hence, a successful annealing would be indicated by bands containing the restriction sites. However, the gel showed no bands, hence no annealing of the BBK-primers with the MalE Gene.

Today I'm also reading on the Ethics Paper from 2009 Calgary iGEM competition and am trying to find two goals for this year's paper.

No notebook page exists for this date. Sorry!
