Plasmid Editing

Postby mehdi71000 » Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:05 am

Hi I have a plasmid with two sali silts located on eater side of the desired gene. how can I cut out the other side so I’m left with the only the desired gene. I assume restriction sali enzyme is used. now how do I re connect them with another plasmid containing one sali site for the desired regulation I assume ill cut the plasmid on the sali site but how to join the two? :shock:

Hopefully there are closer restriction site in your plasmid B (in the correct direction depending on your regulator to insert the fragment of A that you'll have cut with Sal I.

Then you just need to add ligase, the right proportion of purified A fragment and B vector, the ligation buffer. Incubate a few hours at 14°C and you are ready to transform by heat shock or electroporation, then 1h hour in SOC at 37°C to recover and you just plate. Of course you have the right Petri dishes with the correct selective antibiotic marker, an incubator to grow them, and access to a way to get rid of biohazard waste...

Wow, that stuff has me baffled. Just curious, what course do you learn things like that?

It sounds pretty advanced.

Thanks Patrick. You’re amazing. Love your stuff

I think it falls under genetic engineering category
