To do

  • Oil flies
  • prepare for sequencing
  • Order:
    • GITC
  • Submit AmNat paper

PEG precipitation

  • recipe:
    • 3g PEG 8000
    • 2.19g NaCl
    • Bring up to 15ml with good water.
  • added 8ul PEG to PCR
  • spun at max speed for 15 min
  • removed PEG, added 150ul cold 80% ethanol
  • spin 7 min
  • remove ethanol, dry
  • re-suspend in 10 ul water
  • nanodrop

  • somehow I don't feel completely comfortable with potential effects of CoraLoad dye on precipitation, so I'll run a gel:
