JV quantified the amount of DNA in gels run to date using ImageJ software. Results to be posted in working plasmids box.
Objective: Transform plasmids into DH5α
Method: Follow competent cell transformation protocol to transform the following:
From our ligations:

- pLacI-sRBS-Lumazine-dT
- mms6 (A6)
- mms6 (B6)
- xylE (C4)
- xylE (B4)
From the 2010 Parts Distribution:
- ECFP (Bba_E0020)
- EYFP (Bba_E0030)
- BglII Endonuclease (Bba_K112106)

Objective: Isolate plasmid DNA of RBS-xylE (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).
