week 06/04/12 - 06/10/12

• Golden-Gate-Cloning-Reaction (GGC) to assemble a 12-repeat-TAL-TF, that recognizes the sequence TACATTGGACCTAT --> protocol: sanjana et al. (first hexamers...)

• transformation: GGC-reaction

• making aliquots of ordered GGC-Primers (freiGEM-method)

• making aliquots of ordered, i.e. synthesized, direpeats
