1,5 g agarose is mixed with 100 ml of 1X TAE buffer (20 ml 10X TAE Stock + 180 ml H20). Heat in microwave to make solution homogeneous (don’t over boil). Cool solution down and then pour the agarose into a gel tray with the well comb in place. Mix samples with loading dye. Load samples and ladder to wells. Run at 90V for 80 min.

Experiments


tde metdods we used most during our laboratory work were New England BioLabs HiFi DNA Assembly Cloning Kit and tdeir instructions for restriction digest and DNA-ligation.

HiFi DNA Assembly Cloning Kit.

Set up tde following reaction on ice:

2-3 Fragment 4–6 Fragment Positive control
Recommended DNA ratio vector:insert = 1:2 vector:insert = 1:1
Total Amount of Fragments 0,03–0,2 pmols X μl 0,2–0,5 pmols X μl 10 μl
NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix 10 μl 10 μl 10 μl
Deionized H2O 10-X μl 10-X μl 0
Total Volume 20 μl 20 μl 20 μl

If 2-3 fragments: Incubate sample at 50°C for 15 min.
If 4-6 fragments: Incubate at 50°C for 60 min.
Store sample on ice.

Add 2 μl of assembled product to tde competent cells. Mix gently by pipetting up and down.

Incubate on ice for 30 min.

Heat shock at 42°C for 30 sec.

Incubate on ice for 2 min.

Add 950 μl of room-temperature SOC media to tde sample.

Incubate on shake at 37°C for 60 min at 250 rpm.

Warm selection plates to 37°C.

Spread approximately 100 μl of tde cells onto tde plate and incubate at 37°C overnight.

Don’t forget positive and negative control for plates.

NEBs restriction digest and T4 DNA Ligase

Following instruction are recommended when using tde enzymes EcoRI-HF and SpeI.

PROTOCOL FOR RESTRICTION DIGEST
Restriction Enzymes 1 μl of each. Total Volume = 2 μl.
DNA 1 μg
10X NEBuffer – Cutsmart 100 5 μl (1X)
Total Rxn Volume 50 μl
Incubation Temperature 37°C
Incubation Time 5-15 min

Inactivate enzymes for 20 min at 80°C.


Set up the following reaction on ice using a microcentrifuge tube:

PROTOCOL FOR LIGATION
T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer (10X) * 2 μl
Vector DNA (4kb) 50 ng (0,020 pmol)
Insert DNA (1 kb) 37,5 ng (0,060 pmol)
Nuclease-free water To 20 μl
T4 DNA Ligase 1 μl
Total Volume 20 μl

*Thaw and resuspend T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer at room temperature.

Mix reaction gently by pipetting up and down and microfuge briefly.

For sticky ends: Incubate at 16°C overnight or at room temperature for 10 min.
For blunt ends or single base overhangs: Incubate at 16°C overnight or at room temperature for 2 h.

Heat inactivate at 65°C for 10 min.

Chill on ice and transform 1-5 μl of the reaction into 50 μl competent cells.

Other methods

Gel electrophoresis with agarose.

Make 10X TAE Buffer Stock (1 liter):
48 g Tris-base

1,5 g agarose is mixed with 100 ml of 1X TAE buffer (20 ml 10X TAE Stock + 180 ml H20). Heat in microwave to make solution homogeneous (don’t over boil). Cool solution down and then pour the agarose into a gel tray with the well comb in place. Mix samples with loading dye. Load samples and ladder to wells. Run at 90V for 80 min.
