To do this I used primers BBa_Fwd and BBa_Rev. The reaction was assembled as follow exploting both OneTaq and Phusion polymerase.

5x One Taq Buffer	10µl
Fwd Primer	1µl
Rev Primer	1µl
10 mM dNTP's	1µl
One Taq	0.25µl
Phusion	0.3µl
Template DNA	0.7µl (about 500 ng)
H2O	35.75µl

When the reaction finished, I performed an electrophoresis analysis in order to confirm the product. Kapa universal ladder was adopted. As you can see, the Gel image is quite confusing. First of all, the marker should be diffused in the sample lane (lane 1) as we can see the same band of the ladder but with a more tenuous coloration. Secondly, the thickest band was at about 1200 bp height even if EFE is 1078 bp long. I think the product has to be confirmed again...!", "tags" : "EFE" }
