Ran PCRs according to protocol on NEB website: https://www.neb.com/protocols/2012/09/06/protocol-phusion-high-fidelity-pcr-master-mix-with-hf-buffer-m0531
Used 20 uL reaction. For plasmids, diluted to concentration 1ng/uL in EB buffer and added 1uL of each dilution to a separate PCR mix. Diluted primers from 100uM stocks to 10uM with TE buffer.
PCR recipe:
| Quantity | Chemical | 
| 1 uL | forward primer (10uM) | 
| 1 uL | reverse primer (10uM) | 
| 1 uL | template DNA (1 ng/uL) | 
| 10 uL | Phusion High Fidelity PCR master mix | 
| 7 uL | dH2O | 
| 20 uL | TOTAL | 
Settings for thermocycler (program: PHUSION):
