Investigator: Jeff, Leonie, Rosario
Aim of the experiment: Transformation of Phytochrome B for protein fusion.
Procedure:

Sequencing of pTUM vectors with pGAL, pADH, pTEF1, pTEF2
Investigator: Jeff, Leonie, Rosario, Florian
Aim of the experiment: Sequencing of pTUM vectors with pGAL, pADH, pTEF1, pTEF2
Procedure:
Sequencing batch were prepared after manufacturer's protocol. (15 µl of plasmid DNA (50 - 100 ng) and 2 µl sequencing primer).
The different vectors we sequenced received the following barcodes:
- ADH in pTUM100: FR01002265
- TEF1 in pTUM100: FR01002266
- TEF2 in pTUM100: FR01002266
- GAL in pTUM100: FR01002268
Sequencing of TEF2 in pTUM100 was not interpretable. The other sequences were consistent with the sequences in the parts registry.
