Results Summary


Creating Destination Vectors
Below are the step by step results we obtained in making all of our destination vectors:

  • We first transformed the destination vectors into cells on to plates with IPTG/X-Gal for blue white screening. In this case, we wanted to see blue cells, indicative of the presence of LacZ. Our destination vectors also varied in whether the backbone is phosphorylated or dephosphorylated. In this picture, the dephosphorylated showed higher transformation efficiency by preventing recircularization of the backbone, yielding more cells transformed with the LacZ as part of the destination vector.
  • We checked whether the destination vectors contained the LacZ fragment amplified with the moclo fusion sites by running digest of cut vs uncut. In the gel picture, each SM refers to a different destination vector and the C and UC means cut and uncut, respectively.

  • The final step is sequencing the destination vectors to confirm the correct orientation of LacZ. In the nucleotide sequence file and the complementary diagram, the LacZ sequence, 2 fusion sites and restriction sites are highlighted in different colors. The trace file shows confidence of the sequencing.
