(In Lab: JV)

Objective: Isolate plasmid DNA (BBa_J33204) from DH5α cells and confirm results.

Method: "Mini-prep" the plasmid DNA using boiling lysis miniprep. Then restrict the DNA once and run on a 1% agarose gel (TAE).

Objective: Ligate pLacI to sRBS-Lum-dT using the three antibiotic assembly method (according to Tom Knight's protocol). Previous ligation had miniscule quantities of DNA in ligation, not surprising it didn't work.
