- Attempted to run PCR of the backbone for the biobricks once more. Settings: Annealing temperature: 56°C, elongation time: 30secs.
- After running on gel, saw that while the -8 vector amplification appears to be producing some correctly sized (~2kb) bands, the other two only seem to be forming many primer dimers. Analysis of the sequence of the prefix and suffix revealed a CG palindrome that appears to be causing self annealing. Inserts are not affected, as they have the palindrome at the 5' end of the primer.
- Will retry at higher temperatures tomorrow.
- Attempted Gibson assembly for the -8 magnesium riboswitch biobrick with the backbone fragments produced earlier today and the insert fragments produced yesterday.
Transformation of e.coli with Gibson products
- E.coli cells transformed with Gibson products produced earlier today.
- Transformants plated out on 25μ/ml chloramphenicol plates.
