Investigators: Basia, Chris

Results:
UP 12 induction calibration2.jpg

There is no overexpressed lane that differs in the induced samples. Maybe the AID is low expressed because of the way the construct is built - 11 bp between the start codon and RBS instead of 7? The arrow shows where more less should be a band of AID.
