PCR of vectors


Not all products were obtained during Friday's PCR. Most of these missing products were large vector backbones. They are being run again, with a much longer extension time of 300s. If that fails, primers will be ordered to split the vectors into manageable chunks, and the PCR reattempted when they arrive.

PCR cycle x35:

  • 15s Denaturing at 95 C
  • 45s Annealing at 60 C
  • 300s Extension at 72 C

The remaining stray product had a slightly tricky secondary structure at the 3' end. It will be run at a series of annealing temperatures in a PCR machine capable of a temperature gradient.
