DAY 3
SUMMARY of July 21:
- Primers arrived and diluted according to instructions
DAY 4
SUMMARY of August 1st:
- qPCR for EGFR gene count and guide RNA design; placed order
DAY 5
SUMMARY of August 2nd:
- Received oligos and diluted according to instruction.
DAY 6
SUMMARY of August 7th:
- Digestion of lentiviral CRISPR plasmid
- Gel purification digested plasmid using QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit and eluted in buffer EB
- There should be two bands on the gel, one at 2kb which should not be purified. Purify only the larger band
