Good evening! I am going to keep this blog post short tonight; I wanted to update you on the development of my experiments. If you refer to my blog post a few weeks back, where I explain the GFP recombination that I was attempting to do, then you may understand the difficulties I was having on trying to get my reaction to work. Well, I have gotten to the reaction to work and have successfully isolated the plasmid (contains the DNA sequence I desired with a fluorescent tag attached)! I have conformed the isolation of one of my plasmids with my Professor, and I am waiting to here back on the other two. After many unsuccessful reactions, and only becoming minimally frustrated, I felt elated! The feeling of having accomplished the next step in my experiment, after SIX weeks, is equivalent to the feeling of a giddy five year old.
Thank you for all of the support; I cannot wait for next week and learning how to carry out the next experiment.
