05/20/2015 We mini-prepped receivers and synthases for gel verification.

Here is a gel of the digestion reactions: Based on the gel, we think the following colonies worked: BraI 2, CerI (1?), 2, EsaI 2, RpaI1 for the synthases. [ ] for the receivers. (all?). Ryan will send them in for sequencing to verify. Meanwhile, we will pick more colonies from the ones that didn't work and repeat the process.
