Nidhi: Creating an N-terminal fusion of sax-2 gene short isoform.
a)    Created the sgRNA::CAS9 construct (pJW1219, 8168bp) containing the gRNA corresponding to sax-2 gene short isoform via SDM.
b)    RE digestion of repair template (pDD282_GFP_isolate 3, 10475bp) with AvrII and SpeI.

Debjani: Creating a C-terminal fusion of unc-11 gene knock in.
               Forward primer : cgactagaCTAtaatccaaaGTTTAAGAGCTATGCTGGAA
                 Reverse Primer  : CAAGACATCTCGCAATAGGA
    Purpose : For SDM to create the Cas9-sgRNA construct (pJW1219) to include the  guide RNA   (no PAM) corresponding to unc-11 knock in.

                 Restriction enzyme digestion of repair template (pDD286_RFP_Knock in ) with AvrII and NgoMIV.

---------------------------------

Leena: Ran a 1% agarose gel with 2-log DNA ladder(0.1-1kb)
Creating a C-terminal fusion for sax-2 gene, using NEB Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis. We are using Cas9-sgRNA construct (pJW1219-10, 8168bp) containing target sequence(gRNA) to knock-in target sequence of 20 nucleotides. Simultaneously creating a repair template by doing restriction digestion of ccdb in pDD286-6 using AvrII and NgoMIV.

Verifying the following:
1.RE digestion of repair template(pDD286-6) removing ccdb using AvrII and NgoMIV - 5ul sample was loaded
MLP-RE
DNA: pDD286-6 (10504 bp), 221.0ng/ul-  4.5ul
R.Enzymes:
AvrII,5U/ul –  2ul
NgoMIV,10U/ul- 1ul
RE digest products: 6654 bp, 2638 bp, (609 bp,603 bp – as one band)

2. PCR amplification of sgRNA::CAS9 construct (pJW1219-10, 8168bp) containing the target sequence, knock in - C-terminal fusion using SDM. - 4ul sample was loaded
Gene: Sax-2
MLP-PCR : Project-4, Sax-2 C-term fusion
DNA: pJW1216 (8148 bp) (25ng/ul) -0.75ul
10uM Forward primer: MG_2215_gRNA_sac2_C-2 – 0.94ul
10uM Reverse primer: MG_2203_gRNA_R_6141- 0.94ul

Jose: Project 4-C-terminal sax-2 knock-in
Creating  the Cas9-sgRNA construct (pJW1219, 8168bp) containing target sequence(gRNA) using NEB Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis to knock-in target sequence at the C-terminal region on Sax-2 gene.
Restriction enzyme double digest was done using PDD282_GFP_Repair Template (isolate 3) using enzymes AvrII and SpeI.
We used 1% Agarose Gel with NEB 2-Log DNA ladder (0.1-1kb).
