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
  
• 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)

(In Lab: JV)

Objective: Isolate plasmid DNA (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).

Restriction Reaction

Ingredient	Volume(µL)
MilliQ H20 Water	15.75
Orange Buffer (10x)	2
pDNA (rbs-xylE)	2
EcoRI	0.25

Unrestricted Control

Ingredient	Volume(µL)
MilliQ H20 Water	16
Orange Buffer (10x)	2
pDNA (rbs-xylE)	2

I started ran the reaction for 80 minutes at 37^oC.

Objective: Ligate pLacI to sRBS-Lum-dT using the three antibiotic assembly method (according to Tom Knight's protocol). Previous ligation had miniscule quantities of DNA in ligation, not surprising it didn't work.
