Electroporation

We electroporate E. coli DH5α Electro-competent cells at 1.25 mV, then we resuspend the cells in SOC medium and incubate on a shaker at 37°C for one hour, then, we plate the cells in a solid medium containing antibiotic selection.

Primer Design

Primers were designed manually using [http://www.idtdna.com/analyzer/applications/oligoanalyzer/ OligoAnalyzer] of IDT, secondary structures were also calculated using [http://mfold.rna.albany.edu/?q=mfold/ mfold] and annealing conditions usign [http://primerdigital.com/fastpcr.html FAST PCR].

PCR - Colony

Based on the protocol used with Taq polimerase, add 1 μL more of H2O and take a few cells from the strain pricking it with a toothpick and mixing them with the other PCR reactives instead of using purified DNA.


PCR - Boiling

We make a lysate of the cells and add 1 μL of that lysate instead of purified DNA using the Taq polimerase protocol. To obtain the lysate, scrape the growth solid culture and resuspend the cells on 50 μL of H2O, then, put at 95°C for 10 minutes.

To prepare this reaction you first pipet together DNA, buffer and water, vortex the mixture and add the enzyme. Mix by pipetting and incubate for 3 hours at the temperature optimal for the enzyme (generally at 37°C).
