To prepare phage lysates to be used for small or large scale phage DNA preps. This method usually produces lysates with titers of 2-8x10e10 pfu/ml. - [Read Phage Plate Stock Lysates Protocol]
Protocol for quick DNA plasmid prep. Protocol gives very clean plasmid preps for restriction digests and cloning. However, due to the alkaline lysis step, the DNA is often nicked and may not give exceptional sequence data. - [Read Quick DNA Plasmid Prep Protocol]
DNA isolation method yields an average of 0.6 micrograms of genomic DNA that is suitable for Southern analysis or PCR. Starting with fresh mycelium, 20 to 40 samples can be processed in approximately two hours. Better yields (about 5 micrograms) may be obtained by suspending approximately 100 microliters of ground lyophilized mycelium in 500 microliters of isolation buffer and following the protocol. - [Read Small Scale DNA Preps for Neurospora crassa Protocol]
This protocol describes the electroporation of the BMH 81-17 mut S strain that is recommended for tranformation of the site directed mutagenesis of dsDNA (See Protocol on Site-Directed Mutagenesis on Double Stranded DNA). BMH 81-17 mut S are a mismatch repair defective (mut S) Escherichia coli strain. The probability that the two mutations will cosegregate during the first round of DNA replication is increased in this strain.
