The three bands correspond to parts: (1) sbb1125 {P_spy} at 629bp, (2) sbb1133 {P_ycgE} at 369 bp, and (3) sbb1138 {P_yciW} at 1504bp

Today, I completed the digestion of my three PCR parts
- Followed protocol for Zymo Gel Purification: Zymo Gel Purification
- Eluted PCR product in 8ul ddH2O

Next step:
- Ligation

Today, I began the digestion of my three PCR products
- Performed the protocol for EcoRI/BamHI digestion of PCR Products: EcoRI/BamHI Digest of PCR Products
- Followed up with gel extraction with 1ul of 10x loading dye
- Stopped after melting gel in 600 ul ADB buffer

Next step:
- Continue gel extraction/purification to complete digestion and get pure DNA

The three bands correspond to parts: (1) sbb1125 {P_spy} at 629bp, (2) sbb1133 {P_ycgE} at 369 bp, and (3) sbb1138 {P_yciW} at 1504bp

This is the roadmap for my project:
For each of my three parts:
0) Amplify part using PCR
1) Analytical Gel to see if my PCR products were successful
2) Zymo Clean-up to isolate only DNA part
3) Digestion using EcorRI and BamHI
4) Ligation
5) Transformation

Today, I retrieved my three PCR products and ran them through analytical gel.
- Ran an analytical gel on my PCR products to visualize them
- Used 5ul Loading Dye and 2ul PCR product
- Not using Preparation Gel because don't need to gel extract

Results of Analytical Gel: PCR products were successful!
- Well 1: PCR Part sbb1125 {P_spy} 629 bp
- Well 2: PCR Part sbb1138 {P_yciW} 1504 bp
- Well 3: PCR Part sbb1133 {P_ycgE} 369 bp

Today I also column purified my PCR products by Zymo Clean-up
- Followed protocol for Regular Zymo Clean-up: Regular Zymo Cleanup
- For all "spin through"s, spun at 30 seconds at 14.5rpm (max RPM)
- Eluted each part with 33ul ddH20

Next Steps:
Digestion with EcorRI/BamHI, Ligation, then Transformation.

Today, I set up three cloning by PCR reactions, one for each of my three promoter parts.
- Followed the protocol for cloning DNA: Cloning by PCR
- Resuspended ALI_005 to 100uM and diluted it to 10uM
- Used the Expand buffer and polymerase for my PCR because the part templates were all from MG1655 gDNA
- PCR Thermocycler program 2K55 because all PCR products are less than 2kb
