-Screening for lacI insert:
-#(Miniprep)
-#Restriction digests - the [[Team:Newcastle/Restriction_digests| restriction digest]] protocol was followed.
-#*Single digest with Pst1
-#*double digests with Pst1 and Xba1
-#Gel electrophoresis
-Set up liquid broth culture in 5 ml of LB - 1 colony from colonies 1-7
