− | <U>Results:</U></br> All the digestion have worked except A1(3) that seems to be contaminated. Moreover, D2(2) and D2(3) seems to have the insert so we will have to digest them.</br></br>

− | <U> Aim:</U> To perform a gel extraction to isolate insert DNA purified from its plasmid thanks to the migration. We use the gel made before with inserts B2/E1/E2 but we only extract B2 bands.</br> </br>
