October 1, 2006

Charles, Andy, Anne:

• Prepared o/n of DH5a and DH5a-z1 for making competent cells
• Mini-prepped UT3 ABCD and P0352 (2005) BC, P0456 (2005) BC
• Tested (EcoRI, PstI) length of UT3 ABCD (All wrong lengths, similar to Sept 28 result), P0352 (2005) BC (both have only one band, retry with higher DNA conc.), P0456 (2005) BC (correct lengths)
• Made Plates and transformed P0452 (2006) and I12006 (2006)
• Printed/posted protocols
• Ligated UT1 ABC to P0352 A (2005) and P0456 A (2005) overnight

To-Do List:

• Finish up ligation of UT1 and P0352 and P0456 (Heat inactivate)
• Transform and plate UT4 (UT1 + P0352 (2005)) ABC and UT5 (UT1 + P0456 (2005)) ABC
• Make o/n of P0452 (2006) and I12006 (2006) for miniprep
• Make DH5a and DH5a-z1 competent cells
• Plan testing using DH5a cells

September 27, 2006

Charles:

• Made freezer stocks of UT2 x 2 and UT3 x 2

Andy, Natalie:

• Mini-preppred UT3 B(AB) C(BB) D(BC) E(CC)
• Transformed and plated P0452 (2005) (On Amp rather than proper AK)
• Checked lengths of UT3 BCDE (inconclusive due to anomalous bands, D appears promising - yellow rating), P0152 (2nd check, Extra band, wrong insert length), P0352 (2nd check, not the best bands, correct lengths - changed rating from red to yellow)
• Prepared o/n of P0456 (2005) for Miniprep
• Added part lengths and resistance info in spreadsheet

To-Do List:
