This lab report outlines the cloning of a DNA segment from bacteriophage using recombinant plasmid DNA purified from bacterial cells. We performed restriction digests with EcoRI and BamHI to isolate specific DNA fragments. Following the digests, agarose gel electrophoresis was conducted to analyze the results and verify the sizes of the restriction fragments, using restriction digest maps for reference. The integrity and efficiency of the cloning process were assessed through comparison of fragment sizes with expected values from the restriction maps.

Cloning a DNA segment from bacteriophage Recombinant plasmid DNA purified from bacterial cells Started restriction digests last week Why digesting with EcoRI again? Why digesting with EcoRI + BamHI?
Cloning a DNA segment from bacteriophage Recombinant plasmid DNA purified from bacterial cells LAB: Pour agarose gel Retrieve samples Add 5 µL of sample buffer (dye) - contains RNase Load 15 µL of each digest onto agarose gel Examine results - use restriction digest maps for EcoRI and BamHI
