Protocols

Bacterial DNA extraction protocol

Miniprep

Electroporation

Electro-competent cells of E. coli DH5α are electroporated at 1.25 mV, immediately we add SOC medium to the bacteria and we incubated on a shaker at 37°C for one hour, then, we culture cells in a solid medium containing the antibiotic of selection.
