September, 2012

Wednesday, 5th

Note: All work done from this day on was done at the Kanbar lab at the Cooper Union

  • Single digested the J13002
  • Placed the digest above and other digests to be run on gels into -20C freezer
  • Made 4 50mL 1% agarose gels
  • Followed standard plasmid isolation protocol for kill gene
