Samples preparation for sequencing

"By Maxence, Mahnaz & Coline"

20 µL of plasmids pSB1C3 FKBP - GFP 10 (clones 7, 8, 9 and 10) were sent to be sequenced. 20 µL of the primers iPS84 (5µM) and iPS140 (5µM) were sent for sequencing.

Colony PCR of the 4 clones containing GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3 (pPS16_020) from the 12th September

By Maxence, Mahnaz, Coline & Caroline

As results from sequencing were not good, clones sent previously and stocked in glycerol (2, 7, 8 and 12) were put on plate the 19th September, as each colony may not not be homogenous enough. Another colony PCR was done and anothers primers were used.

For that purpose, the 4 clones were used for the usual protocol of Colony PCR. The same colonies were also plated on Petri dish containing solid LB + 30 µg/mL Cm and liquid cultures (LB + 30 µg/mL Cm) were made from these clones. Both petri dishes and liquid cultures were grown at 37°C.

For each clones contained in 20 μl water, 5.13 μL of the following mix were added :

  • 2.5 µL DreamTaq Buffer
  • 0.5 µL of dNTPs (10mM)
  • 1 µL of each primer mix (10µM)
  • 0.13 μl of DreamTaq Pol

PCR was performed as follow:

Step Temperature Time
Initial denaturation 95°C 3 min
30 cycles 95°C 30 sec
48.4°C 30 sec
72°C 30sec
Final Extension 72°C 7 min
Hold 4°C $\infty$
Primers used were:
Matrix Clones containing GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3 (pPS16_020)
Primers iPS168 and iPS169

After amplification, 3 µL of each PCR products and 5 µL of DNA ladder were placed in wells and migrated at 100V during 30 min.

PCR products expected were :

PCR products Expected band size (bp)
GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3 862

Gibson of cleaned up PCR products from pSB1C3 with dCas9 ST - GFP 11 (pPS16_017) clone 8 treated by DpnI

By Maxence, Mahnaz & Coline

Gibson was performed with cleaned up PCR products from pSB1C3 with dCas9 ST - GFP 11 (pPS16_017) clone 8 treated by DpnI, more precisely PCR product 1 obtained by iPS174 & iPS175 (plasmid) and PCR product 2 obtained by iPS173 & iPS176 (insert) with the following protocol:

For each 20μl of reaction, mix the following reagents :

  • 0.2 µL of insert
  • 3.16 µL of plasmid
  • 6.64 µL of water
  • 10 µL of buffer mix

Two controls were done: one without insert and one without buffer (water was added in order to have a total of 20 µL). The PCR was performed as follow : 1 hour at 50°C.
