Bioware Lab Work – Bootcamp! Clone two Biobricks from the parts registry and combine them in a plasmid.
Projects • Tom and Amanda – constitutive pTet promoter and ECFP • Francis and Bob – • Steve and Matt – UV inducible promoter and YFP • Meagan and Erin – constitutive pTet promoter and GFP (parts E0240 and E0840) Plasmid Backbone from J04450: CAP resistance and RFP Biobrick
Procedure • Remove plasmids from registry – Transform • Miniprep, Digest, Ligate, Transform • Select for non RFP cells that grow on CAP • 2 overnight cultures to prepare for a fluorescence reading • Confirmation using PCR amplification of Biobrick sequequence inside the prefix and suffix.
