• Observed results of yesterdays transformation
  • Transformation using heat shock went well
  • Electroporation transformation failed produce colonies
• Did Colony PCR of yesterdays transformed colonies
• Introduced colonies to L(+)Arabinose medium to check if it would show desired function
  • Check for results tomorrow

Result of yesterdays transformation

Transformation using heat shock went well and produced about 100 colonies. We chose 10 and did colony PCR to check if insert was correct. The insert was Arabinose promoter[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I0500 (BBa_I0500)] and GFP reporter[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_E0840 (BBa_E0840)]. Vector used was [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:pSB1C3 pSB1C3].

Combined length of insert with prefix, suffix and scar is estimated to be 2143bp. From electrophoresis picture under UV light you can see all colonies except colony-3 have bands ant approximate 2000bp position. We used DNA marker Lamda/(Hindi3, EcoR1) followings are empty lane and then colonies 1 through 10 accordingly. [[HokkaidoU_Pictures_Colony_PCR_of_2010_09_15.png|frame|Colony PCR]

We used 1.5% agarose gel for electrophoresis.
