Low Fidelity Dreamtaq PCR of transformed DH5α with pPS16_002

By Mathilde

A DreamTaq PCR was made with transformed cultures pPS16_002 following the usual protocol with Tm at 57°c and 5min for the initial denaturation.

We divided up the PCR mix in 6 PCR tubes and added in each one a different clone from the transformed culture. The picked colonies were re-plated on a petri dish medium LB + Ampicillin (50µg/mL) + xGal/IPTG (1/1000).

Results : PCR products expected were :

The electropheresis on agarose gel showed absolutely no PCR products. From this day, transformed culture from the 22/07/2016 will be used for the PCR experiments instead of those from the 19/07/2016.

High Fidelity Q5 PCR of transformed DH5α with pPS16_004 and pPS16_007

By Laetitia

The PCR was performed following the usual protocol. 8 tubes were done: 5 clones of pPS16_004 and 3 clones of pPS16_007

The TM was at 60°C
