CD79A #1 read 4 (gal4) shows correct mutation --> repeat sequencing for remainder of construct 

07/14

Remainder of sequencing shows correct sequence for CD79A and pTet:mRFP - construct ready for BsaI golden

03/23 PCRs

Ladder; CD79A; CD79B; pTet:mRFP

Notes: 

CD79A and CD79B bands are not of the correct size. They appear to have primer dimers. Temperature used for the PCR may not be appropriate, since we changed PCR reagents from Phusion to Q5.

Gal4VP16 and pTet:mRFP construct might be correct - too much DNA in the lane to discern exact position of the band. 

PCRs will be redone with correct temperatures and less template.

03/31 and 04/01 PCRS

Notes:

(Lanes 1-5 had holes in the bottom, had to load additional lanes because first samples were lost - no additional DNA from PCR reaction)

Gal4VP16 and pTet:mRFP bands are the correct size (smile) ..but we have to redo the PCR reaction because we don't have any PCR product left

CD79A and CD79B constructs show bands of smaller size. Since we're redoing the Gal4VP16 and pTet:mRFP PCRs anyway we can redo the CD79 PCRs but increase the annealing temperature by 2C

04/10 PCRs

Notes:

Gal4VP16 and pTet:mRFP constructs have the correct band size --> ready for AarI golden gate

CD79A and CD79B PCRs still seem to have primer dimers.CD79A/B primers have to be redesigned.

04/25 PCRs

Notes:

CD79A construct have the correct band size --> ready for AarI golden gate

CD79B PCRs still seem to have primer dimers. CD79B primers have to be redesigned.

Ladder
Gel
Notes

Lanes are Ladder,

hEF1a:CD79A-pTet:mRFP-Gal4VP16

sample 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Only samples 1 and 5 appear to have succeeded.

 

^ that makes sense because only samples 1 and 5 had (very) red bacteria when I spun them down for the miniprep (even though I picked 5 red colonies):

It's interesting that we don't see the lower size bands (i guess that could be because the gel is very jank towards the end)
