Just an sample entry...
Tuesday, 31st July, informal meeting
- For checking PHY42 in a gel, are 900 and 5000 bp OK?
- Sequence the PHY42 plasmid (look for standard primers)
- List our enzymes
- What is the tolerable size of digestion results (for melanopsin, we would have ~4500 nucleotides and ~900 + <size of melanopsin> nucleotides)?
- Do we need a backbone (pGL) Maxiprep as well?
- How do you check that the backbone has not religated on luciferase? How to remove luciferase? PCR on the digested backbone?
- Gel on our pGL4.30 miniprep (for example, digest with HindIII and MfeI, gives ~4000 and ~2000 bp products)
- Site-directed mutagenesis on LovTAP (remove the XbaI and EcoRI sites)
