03/21/13 Assemblies: retry MV9 T4 ligase quality check: Behzad's tube Assemblies Try again, but with the old boil and cool method Oligo annealing See 03/19/13 for details about the oligos and reaction set-up Bring ~900 mL water to a boil in a large beaker (on a hot plate). Use a thermometer to check the temperature (>100°C). Float the oligo mixtures in the boiling water for 10 min. If there is condensation, carefully & quickly remove the tube and shoe the liquid down to the bottom and put the tubes back into the water. Turn off the heat source and allow the water bath to slowly cool to room temperature (25°C) for several hours.

Used plates from Behzad's "LB Plane Agar" sleeve because it was marked with red tape and nobody, conveniently, reported that we ran out of LB amp. Thanks, guys.
