Methods

Transformation of chemically competent E. Coli

Competent cells from E. Coli strain DH5α or DH10B were thawed on ice. The whole ligation/other DNA samples were added to the cells, for 30 min the mix was put on ice. The cells and DNA mix were heat shocked for 90s at 42°C. The cells recovered on ice for 5min. 1 mL of LB medium was added to the cells and then an incubation followed at 37°C in a shaker-incubator for 45min. An appropiate amount of cells were plated on a selective LB agar.

Miniprep

Minipreps were performed using Hi Yield®Plasmid Mini DNA Isolationkit according to the manufacturer's protocols.

InterLab Study

The Interlab Challenge was performed according to the protocols for the InterLab Study in 2017. For further details visit the iGEM homepage: InterLab Study or our InterLab page.
