Because the initiator is one of the smaller constructs, we have decided to use this as an example to illustrate the utmost basic workplan in greater detail.
Starting Up
- Hydrated parts: BBa_B0034, BBa_C0051, BBa_B0015, BBa_R0082.
- Transformed these parts into DH5α competent cells.
RBS to BBa_C0051
- Ligate the RBS and BBa_C0051 fragments together and transform on carb plates.
- Depending on the outcome of visible colonies on the experimental and control plates, a PCR screening may be needed.

Assembly notes
- It is most practical to cut RBS as a vector because RBS is less than 100 bp long as an insert, making it hard to see and extract on the gel.
- The sticky ends from the XbaI and SpeI, when ligated together, will form an 8 bp scar. Thus, XbaI and SpeI will no longer be able to cut here.
'RBS & BBa_C0051' to Terminator
- Cultured cells that have parts: 'RBS & BBa_C0051', BBa_B0015
- Miniprepped 'RBS & BBa_C0051' and BBa_B0015
- Ligate the fragments together and transform on kan plates.
- Depending on the outcome of visible colonies on the experimental and control plates, a PCR screening may be needed.

Assembly notes
- It is most practical to cut BBa_B0015 as the vector because it is only 130 bp long. It would be hard to see on a gel.
'RBS & BBa_C0051 & stop' to BBa_R0082
- Cultured cells that have parts: 'RBS & BBa_C0051 & stop', BBa_R0082
- Miniprepped 'RBS & BBa_C0051& stop' and BBa_R0082
- Ligate the fragments together and transform on carb plates.
- Depending on the outcome of visible colonies on the experimental and control plates, a PCR screening may be needed.

Assembly notes
- The promoter had to be cut as a vector because it is only 108 bp by itself.
