<li>Miniprepped the cultures grown overnight according to <a href="https://2010.igem.org/Team:Yale/Our_Project/Protocols/miniprep"> standard microcentrifuge protocol, </a> but mixed up tubes so hope to sort them out with a diagnostic double digest</li>

<li> The similar size and identical backgrounds of the Biobricks makes many of them difficult to distinguish by restriction digest failing cut sites within the Biobricks themselves.  EcoRI and PstI are available but B0015, C0012, and J23114 (all 35 bp in around 3 kb backgrounds) are too hard to tell apart by such a digestion. However, a EcoRI/PstI digest should be able to tell them from R0011 and pSB74--the former will be divided into 1.1 kb and 2.1 kb fragments while the latter will end up as 3.6 kb and 9.4 kb fragments.</li>

<li> Before setting up digestion, used nanodrop to determine the concentration of the ten unknown samples (two of each plasmid) </li>

  • 6/21-AM miniprep but mixed up tubes--performed EcoR I/Pst I digest & gel to help distinguish tubes, though not all of them can be identified. Inoculated liquid cultures of transformants (again)
  • 6/22 miniprep again
