10/21/13 -Today we ran PCR on T4 wild type and mutant phage to determine the sequence differences in the capsid proteins. AB DL AC
10/23/13 -Ran a gel on the PCR we did last time.
We place the samples in the order: DNA ladder, 297/298 W M, 301/302 W M, 311/312 W M, 313/314 W M W=wildtype M=mutant We got bands for both the 311/312 and 313/314 wild type and mutant. We need to do PCR cleanup and start with the cloning procedure. 297/298 and 301/302 didn't show any bands for either the wild type or the mutant. We suspect this may be to boiling them for too long (12 min) at the start. We are going to try boiling them for only 5 minutes and see if we can get bands next time. The PCR products were stored in the Cholera QS II box in the freezer. AB DL AC
