Tuesday 2/24
Josh and Casy
 * Started the isolation of the digested plasmid from the undigested plasmid.
 * Ran 3 of 4 DNA samples on a gel, then excised our target band from the Agarose gel, and placed them in tubes and stored at -20°C until Thursday.
 * Thursday we will be using the QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit to isolate our digested plasmid.

Derek, Oggie, and Katy
 * We diluted our primers today since we accidentally left out our previous ones overnight. We started with 100 uM and by doing a 1:10 ratio we made them 10uM.
 * We also tried 5 different temperatures to find the optimum annealing temperature for our DNA, including a positive and negative control for our PCR. Our range of temperatures was from about 48 to 57 degrees.
 * On Thursday we will check the outcome using gel electrophoresis.
