Continue on overlap and restrictions of linear plasmid and plasma extract

 This week for the lab we worked with our amplified sample of overlap. We made a 1.2% gel which is 3.6g of agarose and 30mL of TAE buffer. When we placed our product in the wells we used 10 ul of sample and 2ul of dye not using PCR water because we wanted a better view of what we had in our sample.  In this photo, you'll see in the second row our 6ul ladder and our fourth row is the 12ul sample in the gel. We ran that gel and it took the whole lab session so we worked on extracting plasma from Ecoli that was grown over the weekend. So we can have more tet since we already have a lot of left and right. We used the molecular biology Thermo scientific GeneJET Plasmid Miniprep kit. The website we used to follow the directions is thermofisher.com/studio first step was we resuspended the pelleted cells in 250ul of resuspension solution and pipetted up and down til we no longer had cell clumps. Then add 250ul of the lysis solution and 350ul of the neutralization solution, flipped ups...

 This week Monday started off with Friday's work and running our  Anna, Hilgarth, and lactonase sadly when we ran that through a gel we didn't get anything out of it. It was very unexpected to not see anything since our lactonase was our positive control and was 99% going to show up.  The first one is a ladder, space, Lactonase, anna 1, anna2, space, hilgarth 1, and lastly hilgarth 2 We decided to move on and amplify the left, tet, and right want to see if we could get a better vision of the final fusion. We had one test tube with undiluted primer and one with diluted primer in a gel since we want to see 2700 base pears. since we waited for that to run I worked on getting more experience and making more 1% gels for later lab sessions to be quick and ready then we stored those. The result of this amplifying failed again we had a band stuck in the well and a streak the reason that it could possibly be stuck is that we have a big piece of DNA that wasn't able to come out. We...
