    • Ligation product was transformed into E.coli via heat shock.
  • A colony PCR was performed with twelve colonies.
    • Gel electrophoresis showed that 2 colonies were positive for connecting the plasmid and gene fragment. These two colonies were used to inoculate overnight cultures.
  • Plasmids with correct sequence of 19-15 were isolated using a miniprep kit.
  • Mono-restriction digest of pT-19-15 with Nru I.
