Report the location of sites in reference to Bgl II end

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

is this about restriction enzymes?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I'm basically creating a restriction map of a cDNA insert Complete digestion of insert: Hae II: \(\sf \color{blue}{0.2, ~0.4~, 0.6~,0.7~,0.9~, 3.0~, 0.7}\) Bgl II: \(\sf \color{red}{0.5~,6.0}\) Sal I: \(\sf \color{green}{2.4,~4.1}\) Bgl II + Sal I: \(\sf \color{orange}{0.5,~1.9~,4.1}\) @nincompoop

OpenStudy (abb0t):

UGH, got cut off, but the bottom is Sal I, i just don't know how to read these, how do I know which one is which cut on the Bgl II + Sal I???

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

dude, all of a sudden you're doing more complicated bio than I am

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

is this base off bacteriophage?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I suppose a plasmid, but I am working with a linear one. It makes it less confusing for me.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

let me grab my genetics book it looks familiar but I don't know if I even learned this

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

oh I think you just aligned it linearly

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

ok, so idk if this is heading int he right direction, but I am thinking that since there is a split in the double digest, and theres no longer a cut at 2.4, that the enzyme cut in between the 0.5 and 1.9! But which enzyme?!?!?! LOL

OpenStudy (abb0t):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

who gave you the numbers on Bgll?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

those are just the hypothetical numbers assigned to keep the math relatively simple.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

BGL II right? not BgL l

OpenStudy (abb0t):

BgL II

OpenStudy (abb0t):

If i have a double digest between Bgl II + Cla I where Bgl I cuts are at: 0.5, and 6.0 and Cla I cuts are at: 1.0 and 5.5 Bgl II + Cla I displayed bands at: \(\sf \color{red}{0.5,~1.0,~5.0}\)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I am so confused right now. lol

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

I am so overwhelmed rn

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

this is the kind of I just know

OpenStudy (abb0t):

hmm...that helps a little, but the wording is so confusing. more confusing than it needs be.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I'm off 2 bed, thnx 4 teh help. @aaronq any input?

Miracrown (miracrown):

On the Bgl II + Sal I, it's best to compare it to the Sal I only map. As you see, on the Sal I map, you have a cut site at 2.4, which produces two pieces (2.4 and 4.1). When combining the two, you have a cut site at 0.5 and 4.1...

Miracrown (miracrown):

Think about what the 0.5 and 1.9 piece add up to So that means that the 2.4 piece that would normally be produced by Sal I has now been split into a 0.5 piece and a 1.9 piece by the Bgl II enzyme.

OpenStudy (koikkara):

Is this related to micro-Biology ??

OpenStudy (abb0t):

That makes more sense! Wow, thanks @Miracrown How about for Bgl II and Cla I? Would that also mean that there is a cut at 5.5 only?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

@Miracrown is on the right direction |dw:1402017448233:dw| you need more double digests to map out Hae II

OpenStudy (abb0t):

yeah, I think i figured it those out, but I am confused about it still let me take a picture of the maps i have
