I made 100uM dillutions from my oligos and spun them down.
For a wobble reaction for KILLR, I added to a PCR tube:
29 uL water 5 uL Expand 10x Buffer 2 5 uL 10x dNTPs (2 mM in each; 0.2 mM final conc) 5 uL Oligo Oph22F (100uM) 5 uL Oligo Oph23R (100uM) 0.75 uL Expand Polymerase 1
For my PCR Product traA, First I diluted my Oligos
9uL Water 1uL 100uM Oph24F/R
Then I set up the following reaction in a PCR tube
<pre> 24uL ddH2O 3.3uL 10x Expand Buffer "2" 3.3uL dNTPs (2mM in each) 1uL Oligo 1, 10uM 1uL Oligo 2, 10uM 0.5uL Expand polymerase "1" 0.5uL Template DNA
For KILLR I ran the thermocycler on the wobble program. For traA, the thermocycler was run at 4k55

I added 2 uL from my PCR reaction and a 0.25 uL of loading dye and ran an analytic gel:
My product is in the fith lane, I am not sure why there are two fragments.
I cleaned up my traA PCR reaction using the following protocol:
#Add 100 uL of Zymo ADB buffer (brown bottle) to the reaction. #Transfer into the Zymo column (small clear guys) #Add 500uL of Ethanol and pipette up and down to mix #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer (which is basically 70% ethanol) #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer #spin through, discard waste. #spin for 90 seconds, full speed to dry. #elute with water into a fresh Eppendorf tube
I did not dry for long enough and may have gotten insufficient elution. I eluted with 50uL instead of 33 to try to make sure all DNA was eluted.
KILLR
I cleaned up my pcr product:
#Add 100 uL of Zymo ADB buffer (brown bottle) to the reaction. #Transfer into the Zymo column (small clear guys) #Add 500uL of Ethanol and pipette up and down to mix #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer (which is basically 70% ethanol) #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer #spin through, discard waste. #spin for 90 seconds, full speed to dry.
For my wobble products, I digested the entire extension reaction-worth of DNA.
*I Set up the following reaction in a PCR tube: 50uL eluted DNA 5.7uL NEB Buffer 2 1uL EcoRI 1uL BamHI *I mixed thoroughly by slamming the tube upside down on the table, and then gave it a quick spin to move the liquid to the bottom of the tube. *I incubated the reaction at 37 degrees on the thermocycler
After digesting, I did a small Zymo cleanup:
#Add 100 uL of Zymo ADB buffer (brown bottle) to the reaction. #Transfer into the Zymo column (small clear guys) #Add 500uL of Ethanol and pipette up and down to mix #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer (which is basically 70% ethanol) #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer #spin through, discard waste. #spin for 90 seconds, full speed to dry.

I digested the cleanup of my PCR reaction:
*Set up the following reaction: 6.5uL ddH2O 1uL T4 DNA Ligase Buffer (small red or black-striped tubes) 1uL Vector digest (pBca949CA-Bca224#5) 1uL Insert digest 0.5uL T4 DNA Ligase *Pound upside down on the bench to mix *Give it a quick spin to send it back to the bottom of the tube *Incubate on the benchtop for 30min *Put on ice and proceed to the transformation
I then did a zymo cleanup eluting into 50uL of water:
#Add 180 uL of Zymo ADB buffer (brown bottle) to a 50uL reaction. #Transfer into the Zymo column (small clear guys) #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer (which is basically 70% ethanol) #spin through, discard waste. #Add 200 uL of PE or Zymo Wash buffer #spin through, discard waste. #spin for 90 seconds, full speed to dry. #elute with water into a fresh Eppendorf tube, use the same volume of water as the volume of the original reaction

I ligated my cleanup digestion:
6.5uL ddH2O 1uL T4 DNA Ligase Buffer (small red or black-striped tubes) 1uL Vector digest 1uL Insert digest 0.5uL T4 DNA Ligase *Pound upside down on the bench to mix *Give it a quick spin to send it back to the bottom of the tube *Incubate on the benchtop for 30min *Put on ice and proceed to the transformation
I did a heat-shock transformation and plated on KA plates:
#Thaw a 200 uL aliquot of cells on ice #Add 50 uL of water #Add 30 uL of KCM salts #Put your ligation mixture on ice, let it cool a minute or two #Add 75 uL of the cell cocktail to the ligation, pipette up and down gently to mix #Let sit on ice for 10 min #Heat shock for 2 min at 42 #Put back on ice for 1 min #For ampicillin selection, you can plate immediately, otherwise: #Add 100uL of LB, let shake in the 37 degree incubator for 40 min #Plate on selective antibiotics, let incubate overnight

I miniprepped the liquid culture that had been created from two of the colonies on my KA plate:
'''MINIPREP (1mL - 5mL) Procedure for Plasmid DNA Purification''' ''(using the QIAGEN QIAPrep Spin Miniprep kit)'' #Pellet around 1.5 mL or 2 mL saturated culture by spinning full speed, 30 seconds. #Dump supernatant, repeat to pellet another 1.5 mL (for a total of 3 mL) #Add 250uL of P1 buffer into each tube. Resuspend the cells using a vortexer. #Add 250uL of P2 buffer (a base that denatures everything and causes cells to lyse). Gently mix up and down. Solution should become clearer. #Add 350uL of N3 buffer (an acid of pH ~5 that causes cell junk - including protein and chromosomal DNA - to precipitate, and leaves plasmids and other small molecules in solution). Slowly invert a few times, then shake. #Spin in centrifuge at top speed for 5 minutes. #Label blue columns with an alcohol-resistant lab pen. #Pour liquid into columns, and place the columns into the centrifuge. Spin at 12000 rpm for 30 seconds. #Dump liquid out of the collectors under the columns (the DNA should be stuck to the white resin) #Wash each column with 500 uL of PB buffer. #Spin in centrifuge at 12000rpm for approximately 15 seconds, then flick out the liquid again. #Wash with 750uL of PE buffer (washes the salts off the resins). #Spin in centrifuge at 12000rpm for approximately 15 seconds and flick out liquid again. #Spin in centrifuge at full speed for 1 minute to dry off all water and ethanol. #Label new tubes and put columns in them. #Elute them by squirting 50uL of water down the middle of the column (don't let it stick to the sides). #Spin in centrifuge at top speed for 30 seconds. #Take out columns and cap the tubes. #Clean up - note the P1 buffer is stored at 4degC and all the rest at room temperature.

I did not get any colonies from my previous transportation. I did another ligation using twice as much digested PCR product:
6.5uL ddH2O 1uL T4 DNA Ligase Buffer (small red or black-striped tubes) 1uL Vector digest 1uL Insert digest 0.5uL T4 DNA Ligase *Pound upside down on the bench to mix *Give it a quick spin to send it back to the bottom of the tube *Incubate on the benchtop for 30min *Put on ice and proceed to the transformation
I set up another pcr reaction like I did on february 20th.
29 uL water 5 uL Expand 10x Buffer 2 5 uL 10x dNTPs (2 mM in each; 0.2 mM final conc) 5 uL Oligo Oph22F (100uM) 5 uL Oligo Oph23R (100uM) 0.75 uL Expand Polymerase 1

I digested my miniprep product so that I could run a mapping analytic gel:
6.5 uL ddH2O 2uL Miniprepped plasmid 1uL 10x NEB Buffer 2 0.5uL EcoRI 0.5uL BamHI (for parts >250bp) or XhoI (for parts <250bp) *Incubate at 37 on the thermocycler for 30 minutes *Run an analytical gel *Take a picture of the gel *Calculate the expected fragment sizes
My analytic gel again shows two different bands although both should be of the same length:
