| First thing I would check is the competency of my competent cells (do you have a positive transformation control)? Without any details on your protocol there are so many steps that could have gone wrong I can't suggest anywhere else specifically to look. Can you give some more details (restriction enzymes, blunt vs. sticky-end, phosphatase treatment? DNA concentrations?) |

| Besides, if any of those colonies contains the correct construct - what else do you want in life? :-) |

| Trypsin - are you treating your vector with a phosphatase? |

| trypsin.. if you could give a little more details , that would be helpful.. how do u digest your plasmid and insert ? one or two enzymes? do you check the digested fragments on agarose gel? to see if the restriction enzymes work well. |
