Protocols and Recipes

Below are protocols and recipes used in Blattner lab.

* E. coli Genomic DNA Labeling [PDF]
Label fragmented E. coli genomic DNA with CyDye-dUTP directly using Klenow Fragment. [updated 02/10/2002]

* Spotted array Hybridization [PDF]

Mutagenesis

* Tn5 Mutagenesis [PDF]
Mutate E. coli K-12 genes with Tn5 Transposon. [updated 05/11/2002]

Media

These are our protocols for preparing Neidhardt's MOPS-based defined media. These media are used for the global transcription analyses, and are now available commercially from TekNova Inc.
* EZ Rich Defined Medium [PDF]
* MOPS Minimal Medium [PDF]
