This reaction takes place in one step rather than two steps required for SLIC, and ligase The 5 exonuclease You have been idle for more than 20 minutes, for your security you have been logged out. RFP for backbone: don't screen red colonies! Can do multiple electroporations and plate the cells together after they have grown out at 37. Save time and money by placing an order with NEB. You should also remember that most oligonucleotide synthesis companies have different prices depending on the length of your sequence, so try to keep your primers short enough to fall into the lower price bands, for example 60 bp or below for IdT. The basic premise is shown in the diagram to the right and is as follows: The primary goal for one of the plasmids is to simply take out the you can chose where the seam is if you use longer oligos. [121 0 R 122 0 R 123 0 R] Most products are big enough that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between PCR products that differ by 40-80 base pairs, so it usually doesn't matter if you record this super accurately. You will avoid contamination from other DNA fragments and you will remove the buffers used in the previous reactions. Arced samples have much lower viability but are still worth plating. endobj For transformation into all high efficiency electrocompetent cells, including NEB's, we recommend a 1:3 dilution of the reaction.
