PCR a Kanamycin resistance cassette fragment from p1003 with primers containing either the A/B' ends or the B/A' ends.

Recipe:

1uL p1003 (approx. 1ng)
2.5uL prA_p1003+
2.5uL prB'_p1003-
5uL 10X PCR buffer
1uL 10uM dNTPs
2uL 50uM MgCl~2~
0.5uL Taq polymerase
35.5uL MilliQ H~2~O

Program:

  1. 5 min-94^o^C
  2. 45 sec-94^o^C
  3. 1 min-60^o^C
  4. 1 min-72^o^C
  5. Repeat 2 through 4 35 times
  6. 5 min-72^o^C

PCR purification of Kanamycin Resistant fragments created 10-05-2010 with Qiagen PCR cleanup kit. Determined concentrations by nanodrop. KanA/B': 101.1ng/uL KanB/A':89.6ng/uL

18-05-2010

Prepared DH5α E.Coli competent cells using the Inoue Method. Transformed DH5α cells with pSB1C3-J04450 and grew overnight at 37^o^C on Chloramphenicol plates

19-05-2010

From the transformation of DH5α cells with pSB1C3-J04450 performed on 18-05-2010, we took 4 distinct colonies, streaked them on a new chloramphenicol plate and inoculated 5ml liquid cultures.

20-05-2010

Performed a Miniprep of 3 of the 4 5ml liquid cultures of DH5α cells with pSB1C3-J04450 from 19-05-2010. Took a 1uL sample of the Miniprep solutions and digested with NotI at 37^o^C for 1 hour.

Digestion Recipe:

1uL Miniprep (between 153.2 ng/ul and 302.7ng/ul determined by nanodrop)
1uL NotI
1uL 10X ReACT 3
7uL MilliQ


27-05-2010

Digested both A/B' and B/A' Kanamycin Resistance cassettes fragments from 11-05-2010 and pSB1C3 from 20-05-2010 with NotI at 37^o^C for 1 hour. Heat inactivated the NotI for 10 minutes at 65^o^C. Ligated the Kanamycin Resistance cassettes into pSB1C3 at 16^o^C for 1 hour then took 15uL to room temperature for 2 hours. Transformed 100uL of DH5α cells with 5uL of RT ligation reaction. Plated transformation on plates with both Chloramphenicol and Kanamycin.

Digestion Recipe:

1uL Miniprep (302.7ng/ul determined by nanodrop)
2uL either A/B' or B/A' Kanamycin resistance cassette (approx. 100ng/uL)
1uL NotI
1uL 10X ReACT 3
5uL MilliQ

Ligation Recipe:

10uL of Digest solution
1uL T4 DNA ligase
6uL 5X Buffer
13uL MilliQ H~2~O

We got colonies!! (it's a fantastic feeling) We then lovingly put them in the cold room to await our return from Calgary

30-05-2010

From the transformation of DH5α cells with pSB1C3-KanR performed on 28-05-2010, we took 12 distinct colonies of each KanA/B' and KanB/A', streaked them on a new chloramphenicol plate and inoculated 5ml liquid cultures with the appropriate antibiotics.
