uhm......so my cloning didnt work today booooooooooooooooooo haha but since I had one positive result this week I am not giving up, my plates looked like fields of bacteria were growing on them, so I guess this could mean religated vector OR maybe my ampicillin isnt working. Religated vector is unlikely, I mean I used a 0.7% gel to run about 600 ng of vector and I let it run for aaaaaaaages before cutting it out. So i asked this girl in the other subgroup if I could have one of her plates and I am replating what I have left of my transformation and seeing what happens.

I will order a CIP today though, a CIP and a kinase for my oligos, and I will digest fresh vector.

Just in case I mess up is there anything one really SHOULDNT do when phosphorylating oligos and dephosphorylating vector? Anyone? lol
