Thursday 3/26
Oggie
 * Diluted primers from 100μM to 10μM concentrations.
 * Setup a gradient for the 3 different forward primers in order to obtain optimal annealing temperature.
 * Each primer was tested individually as well as in combination with the reverse primer to test for dimers.

Josh and Casy
 * Discussed PCR running conditions for Tuesday when new primers arrive.
 * The PCR will be run with 1μL and 0.1μL of DNA. The temperatures that will range from 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, and 60°C.
 * The new primers contain a point mutation that will eliminate hairpin formation.

Forward Primer: 5’ TAGAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAG ATGAG(G)AGCAAAAAATTGTGG

Reverse Primer: 5’ ATCTGCAGCGGCCGCTACTAGTA TTATTGTGCAGC(A)GCTTGTAC

Derek and Katy
 * Ran a second PCR amplification of wintergreen because our first attempt didn't work well.
 * Next class we will run a gel to see if we get better results with this attempt.
