On Tuesday, February 18th, Vikrant R, Rohin M, and Gopal R, inoculated bacterial strains A & B onto LB agar with ampicillin & kanamycin and incubated overnight at 37C.
On Wednesday, February 19th, Vikrant R & Rohin M transferred one colony from each of A & B and inoculated in LB BROTH with ampicillin & kanamycin and placed in shaking water bath at 37C.
The next step is to perform a miniprep, which will allow us to extract plasmid from each A & B bacterial strains, which will then allow us do the restriction digest and ligation.
All of these steps can be seen in the 3A Assembly kit protocols. Further research progress will be added soon.
