Sara

  • Made cam plates
    • 300 mL LB

      • 10µL of positive control
      • 10µL of master mix

Tasfia

  • Ran restriction digest of Gibson Assembly Cas9 products with XbaI (25-μL reactions)
    • “Cas9” (conc’n: 1370 ng/μL; 260/280: 2.33; 260/230: 1.79)
      • 0.75 μL DNA
      • 2.5 μL Cutsmart 10x buffer (#B7204S exp 6/17)
      • 1 μL XbaI
      • 20.75 μL nf water
    • 1:3 backbone-to-insert product (conc’n: 1102 ng/μL; 260/280: 2.34; 260/230: 1.83)
      • 0.93 μL DNA
      • 2.5 μL Cutsmart 10x buffer
      • 1 μL XbaI
      • 20.57 μL nf water
    • 1:2 backbone-to-insert product (conc’n: 1080 ng/μL; 260/280: 2.33; 260/230: 1.78)
      • 0.95 μL DNA
      • 2.5 μL Cutsmart 10x buffer
      • 1 μL XbaI
      • 20.55 μL nf water
      • Incubated digest for ~45 minutes at 37°C
    • Results:
      Gibson Product Concentration (ng/uL) 260/280 260/230
      Cas9 50.2 2.10 0.77
      1:3 47.8 1.95 0.54
      1:2 47.5 1.91 0.51
  • Ran a gel on digest products, Gibson inserts, and some golden gate products (Thush)
    • (mCherry1 (tat?), mCherry2 (tat? first row on the GG purple tube holder), mCherry1 control
    • 6X blue loading dye (NEB #B7021S, exp 6/14) was used
      • Wells 1 and 10: Two ladders ~ 1:3 2-log purple ladder-to-loading dye dilution (8 μL per well)
      • Well 2: 1:2 backbone-to-insert Gibson product (6 μL)
      • Well 3: 1:3 backbone-to-insert Gibson product (6 μL)

    • Ran at 95 V for 48 minutes
  • Gel looked strange; Gibson products appeared nowhere on the gel, even though the NanoDrop picked up good concentrations.
  • Troubleshooting
    • We let the gel harden too long
    • Our ladder is just bad
    • Cas9(1) and Cas9(2) show up at ~3kb, when they should be at 1.8 and 1.6, respectively
    • Gibson product has a lot of contaminants (low 260/230 ratios on all three samples)
    • Diagonal line for “lighter” mCherry bands due to unequal distribution of electric field
    • GG products were also not linearized
    • Didn’t NanoDrop that before loading gel either

Tyler

  • Gibson assembly with Shu
  • Helped with Michelle's transformations
