・PCR of insert (fdh4AB), electrophoresis
→Failure: because of too dilute bands
・PCR of insert (fdh4AB), electrophoresis

・PCR of insert (fdh4AB), electrophoresis
→Success: We observed appropriate bands!

・Electrophoresis of PCR products: before digestion of fdh4AB, after PCR products
1.Put an agalose gel into the tank, and poured TBE buffer.
2.Mixed DNA samples : loading buffer = 9 : 1. Loaded samples into wells.
3.Electrophoresed stopped when samples move 2/3.

・Gel extraction
1. Excised the DNA fragment from an aglose gel. For each 100mg of agalose gel added 200µl Buffer NT.
2. Incubated sample for 5-10 minutes at 50°C. Vortexed the sample briefly every 2-3 minutes until the gel slice was completely dissolved.
3. Placed a NucleoSpin Extract ⅡColumn into a Collection Tube and loaded the sample. Centrifuged for 30 seconds at 11,000×g. Discarded flow-through and placed the column back into the collection tube.
