General Ligation Protocol
- 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
- Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes and then heat inactivate at 80°C for 20 minutes.
- 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.
