Concentration too low to send for sequencing, try PCR with truncation primers instead. If Cas9 is there, PCR should work.

5µl of gel extracted PCR product were added to aliquoted Gibson master mix, 1h 50°C. 300µl were plated on chloramphenicol plates.

Testdigest

as the sequenzing of T3 showed unclear results we did minipreps of 4 more colonies from the gibson plate and digested them with EcoRI and SpeI to yield another positive testdigest that could be sequenzed.

Midipreps of plasmids

All plasmids were prepped because sequencing was delayed. Concentrations: ?

Transfection

Medium change was performed 7 hours before transfection.

3µg DNA were transfected per well (six well plate). Of truncation 2 all midis were transfected because sequencing results were still missing (pIG9102-3, -1, -5, -7 and -8 transfected). Transfection scheme?

Picking colonies and minipreps

colonies for all truncations were picked and inoculated for mini-prepping in liquid cultures. Mini preps were not successful because cultures were too thin. more colonies were streaked out on agar plates to grow over night.
