Gels

This page draws each test gel in your browser when the page opens. It uses the same viewer the Python package carries, so what you see here is what a page written by the package shows.

The gels are the files in tests/gels/ in the repo. Most are the example gels of mbio, the lab's tools for cloning, and the note under each one says what it shows. Two are made by hand, at the end.

Rest the pointer on a band to see its size. If a gel cannot be drawn, its place on the page says why.

ap1-pcr1-any-batch

The first of two gels from mbio's ap1 project, with one lane.

ap1-pcr2-any-well

The second gel from the same project, also with one lane.

gateway-colony-pcr

A colony PCR from mbio's Gateway example: a correct clone beside an empty vector.

gibson-pcr-products

The PCR products of mbio's Gibson example, on the 1 kb Plus ladder.

gibson-colony-pcr

The Gibson example's colony PCR. The correct clone's lane has two bands.

golden-gate-pcr-products

The same PCR products, for the Golden Gate build.

golden-gate-colony-pcr

The same colony PCR, for the Golden Gate build.

restriction-pcr-products

The PCR product of mbio's restriction cloning example, in one lane.

restriction-digests

The digests of the restriction example. The pUC19 lane has a 2 bp band, far below the ladder's smallest.

restriction-colony-pcr

The restriction example's colony PCR: a correct clone beside an empty vector.

restriction-diagnostic-digest

The restriction example's diagnostic digest. Its pUC19 lane has the 2 bp band too.

pcr-test-expected-bands

From mbio's tests. It has the only one of mbio's lanes with no band, and the only ladder listed largest first.

one-size

Made by hand. Every band is one size, so all of them sit in the middle of the gel.

long-names

Made by hand. A long title, ladder name and lane name, which wrap, and a word too long for any line. It also has a lane with no band.
