Gibson assembly of positive control


  • Protocol changed slightly: 0.5 μl of each DNA fragment solution mixed in with master mix to make up 4 μl total volume (

Transformation of e.coli with positive control DNA


  • Chemically competent e.coli cells transformed with plasmid DNA produced by Gibson assembly step.
  • Transformants plated out on 50 μg/ml kanomycin plates. Incubated overnight at 37 °C.
