General Ligation Protocol

  1. Ligate the Upstream and Downstream Parts into the digested Destination Plasmid.
   Upstream Part digestion:	   2 µl
   Downstream Part digestion:	   2 µl
   Destination Plasmid digestion: 2 µl
   10X T4 DNA Ligase Buffer:	   2 µl
   T4 DNA Ligase:	           1 µl
   H2O:	                  11 µl
  1. Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes and then heat inactivate at 80°C for 20 minutes.
  1. Transform 2 μl of the ligation product into 50 μl of competent E. coli cells (or other suitable host strain). Select using the antibiotic corresponding to the Destination Plasmid.
