| − | VR and VF2 (Parts [[Part:BBa_G00101|G00101]] and [[Part:BBa_G00100|G00100]] respectively) are used to verify the lengths of parts. While using them to PCR potential parts ([[Part:BBa_S03582|S03582]] and [[Part:BBa_I13033|I13033]], both composite parts) for the Registry's [[Assembly Ladders|Assembly Ladder]], I noticed that I was consistently getting excess bands. Contamination was ruled out since the bands still appeared in a Colony PCR. Upon inspecting the sequence of the two parts, I found that each contained regions that the primers could bind, resulting in the shorter bands I was consistently seeing. Since S03582 and I13033 are both composite parts, I determined where exactly the primers were binding to see what parts would be affected during PCR with VR and VF2. | + | |
