Monday 7/12

  • Group meeting today!
  • Sequencing results were really crappy (quality < 30% confidence), so began 2 5mL LB cultures of the light-lysis construct (picked from the original transformation plate).

Tuesday 7/13

  • Sent off two new samples of the light-lysis construct for sequencing using the VF2 and VR primers. Results should be available tonight or tomorrow.
  • Used remaining cells to inoculate new cultures of each and to extract DNA for a test digest:
    • Digested each (ideally identical) sample with EcoRI-HF and PstI, both for 1hr and for 10min.
    • The digest appears inconclusive, as a smear is visible from the top to about 3Kb, while little or no DNA is visible in the insert range (~1.5Kb, see below).
Gel image for the light-lysis test digest. (7/13)
    • Will run another gel tonight with other bricks to check efficacy of digests and will look forward to sequencing results soon.
