Consider the following two-party communication problem. Alice and Bob are spatially separated, and their
only means of communication is through a noisy communication channel.
Alice has a single bit of information b ∈ {0, 1} that she wants to transmit to Bob using their shared channel.
At the end of the protocol, Bob has a bit d. Our goal is that the probability that d = b is as high as possible,
as detailed below.
We consider three different protocols for achieving this task, protocols PA, PB , and PC . The three protocols
are the same, except for step 5.
1. Alice chooses a bit b. (This step is not a random process.)
2. Alice sends the bit b through the channel.
3. The channel is noisy, and it flips the bit with probability 0.1 if b = 0, and it flips the bit with probability
0.3 if b = 1. Let c denote the output of the channel.
4. Bob receives the bit c.
5. If c = 0, then Bob flips a biased coin C0. The coin comes up head with probability s and it comes up
tail with complementary probability 1 − s.
If c = 1, then Bob flips a biased coin C1. The coin comes up head with probability t and it comes up tail
with complementary probability 1 − t.
6. If the outcome of the coin flip is head then Bob sets d = c. If the outcome of the coin flip is tail then
Bob sets d = 1 − c.
7. Bob declares that “I am guessing that Alice sent the bit d.”
Analyze each of the following three protocols. Show your calculations and explain your work.
1. For protocol PA, set s = 1 and t = 1. Compute the two probabilities x = Pr[ b′ = 0 | b = 0 ] and
y = Pr[ b′ = 1 | b = 1 ]. Put x, y and min{x, y} in the first row of your table.
2. For protocol PB , set s = 0.4 and t = 0.8. Compute the two probabilities x = Pr[ b′ = 0 | b = 0 ] and
y = Pr[ b′ = 1 | b = 1 ]. Put x, y and min{x, y} in the second row of your table.
3. For protocol PC , find s and t such that the smallest of the two probabilities x = Pr[ b′ = 0 | b = 0 ] and
y = Pr[ b′ = 1 | b = 1 ] is as large as possible. Put x, y and min{x, y} in the third row of your table.
At the top of your answer to this problem, include a table with the nine probabilities.

What's your take on the following text? Una caricia solar me abriga, me susurra eternidad. Es tierna melodía navegando mi piel, improvisando donde resolver. Yo la acompaño, pinto mis deseos en cada acorde, mis besos en cada verso y mis promesas en cada lienzo.
—Seja a vida que seja, eu vou te encontrar. Só lembra de mim.
Despierto, la soledad también. Ella se asienta en mi piel, congelándome, y no hay caricia que derrita el manto, que desate la atadura de mis cobijas y me diga: “Amor”. Entonces grito, grito en el desayuno, en el tráfico, en el trabajo, grito y grito hasta quedar ronco de sentir, ronco de vivir.
Respiro, alejo la mirada de mis barrotes y la apunto fijamente hacia mi sueño, mi melodía, mi Luiza. La miro y ella me mira, nos miramos… sin fantasía.
Regreso a teclear, a escribir contra mi voluntad.
Escribo cosas inertes, sin vida ni alma, impuestas por los dueños de mi cuerpo. Escribo, escribo y escribo hasta que ya no estoy más, hasta que concibo un soñar.
Las teclas se hunden, mi tacto desploma, y los colores se funden en un caldo de éxtasis que hierve, pulsa, respira y disuelve cual óleo al canvas, cual nube al cielo, cual sol al firmamento.
Ya no presiono letras, sino granos de arena, y ya no veo a Luiza, sino al mar y sus mareas.
Un destello me ciega, una carcajada me guía. Una sonrisa me conforta:
—Vai gostar da fotografia. Tá bonita, mas você fez cara de bobo!
Ella ríe, y sus dulces notas me hacen recordar… mi idioma, mi nombre, mi amor. Todas imágenes, de una bella realidad.
—Porque tão caladinho?—Me preguntas, bajando tu cabeza y subiendo tu mirada, con una seriedad juguetona, inquisitiva, curiosa. Lentamente acercándote, cerrando tus ojos.
Ah! Si yo pudiera eternizar un instante, fotografiar la delicia, conservar una caricia, esculpir tu presencia o destilar tu fragancia, adornaría mi existencia… con lo que es amar.
Tu figura renace frente a mí, como rosa morena en brote.
Y acaricio los pétalos de tu loto, mientras bebes del Nilo atemporal de mis besos.
Tantas estrellas le tienen envidia, a esta mirada tuya… Ligia, la mirada de alguien con quien he vivido mil vidas y viviré otras mil más.
Caminamos, por nuestro sábado en Copacabana, esperando a que se revelara nuestro retrato en blanco y negro, fútil intento de inmortalizar el momento, pero buen portal al sentimiento, y evidencia de la felicidad que hubo, en cierto lugar, en cierto tiempo, en ciertos ojos.
Hablamos de nuestros sueños, quieres ser fotógrafa, yo quiero ser escritor, tú quieres capturar historias, yo quiero crearlas, tú quieres salir al mundo, y yo conspirar uno contigo.
—Cê acha que vou ser uma boa fotógrafa?
—Pode ser, você acha que eu vou ser um bom escritor?
—Pode ser, mas tem que me dizer algo bonito pra saber…
—Tá bem, olha pro céu.
—O que olho?
— Cê não vê? Até as estrelas tem inveja de você.
Y por última vez, como para decir adiós, me regalas tu sonrisa lunar, acompañada de la caricia solar. Comienzo a oír la melodía improvisar, los acordes tocar, y tus versos besar.
Despierto sin ti, en el manto de tu ausencia que petrifica mis sentimientos. El interludio acabó, y la flor de loto se cerró, qué bonito fue mientras duró.
Ahora solo me queda escribir, bajo la sombra de lo que fue. Bajo el yugo de intereses inertes, y sobre la tristeza del deseo imposible, de mi sueño incompleto. Vivo soñando, pero duermo en sueños ajenos.
—Ligia, ¿dónde estás?
Qué patético me veo, al borde del llanto.
Me levanto, deseo gritar con todas mis fuerzas, pero volteo a ver a los cientos de esclavos, tecleando…
Que inutil paisaje, un cementerio para gente aún viva, un asilo para gente aún cuerda, una prisión para almas aún buenas.
Me alejo lo más que puedo de este páramo, ya no es de mi interés seguir atado a este mundo.
Escalón tras escalón, recuerdo. Realidad y fantasía, no discierno.
¿Qué más da otro escalón? ¿Otro adiós? ¿Otra vida? Nada más que otro sueño muerto.
Ojalá que a donde sea que vaya, estés tú. Si todos fueran iguales a ti, el páramo sería paraiso.
Finalmente siento brisa y sol en mis mejillas, pero la vista no es la misma. Solo veo edificios, solo oigo claxons y solo huelo alcantarillas.
Me acerco al abismo debajo mio, y enciendo mi último cigarro.
—¿Te sobra uno?
Y ahí está de nuevo… Luiza, esta mirada tuya.
Enciendo tu cigarro, miras al horizonte, y con una nostalgia palpable e innegable me preguntas:
—¿Te gusta la fotografía?

Look at the assingment below , I have already began doing it but I feel like I am missing some some things or maybe even made mistakes. Analyse the scenario, aim and tasks and look if my solution is missing some requirements or has errors. Also note that I used Microsoft access to createa database with customers and appliances called db_users which contains a table with customers and table with “TABLE info”. Please help me out with the customer dashboard ( I connected the dataview grid and the appliances show up when the program is ran I need help in implementing the functionality in contrast with the dataviewgrid for instance a search function an add to cart function that calculates total from the appliances and gives total to be paid) things like that
Scenario
You are contracted to develop a home appliance rental application for a local startup company. The renting business company provides affordable rental services for people looking to hire home electrical appliances from small to large for a minimum period of time starting from ONE (1) month. Examples of types of appliances are TV, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, etc.
The application should have TWO (2) types of users which are administrator and customer. An administrator can view, add, edit, and delete an item. A customer can create an account with a username and password. The usernames can only contain letters and numbers. The password must be of length between EIGHT (8) and SIXTEEN (16) characters, and contain at least ONE (1) lowercase and ONE (1) uppercase letter. A customer can search, view, and order an item after they successfully log in the application.
Your program should include the following requirements. Functional Requirements:
● Customers can register.
● Customers can search appliances by type and view sorted appliances by energy consumption (see the table below for some common appliances, or research for your chosen appliances) or weekly cost. They can also add appliance items to a shopping cart.
● Calculation of the total price.
● Administrators can add, edit and delete appliance items.
● Log in page for customers and administrators. Appropriately handle the situation when a reasonable number of failed login attempts occur.
“TABLE info”:
Appliance Power Usage Typical Usage Estimated annual running costs
LCD TV 0.21kWh per hour 6 hours a day (power on) £130
Fridge Freezer (A spec) 408kWh per year 24 hours a day £115
Tumble Dryer 2.50kWh per cycle 148 uses a year £105
Electric hob 0.71kWh per use 424 uses a year £85
Electric oven 1.56kWh per use 135 uses per year £60
Dishwasher 1.44kWh per use (at 65⁰C) 135 uses per year £55
Kettle 0.11kWh per use based on heating 1 litre of water 1,542 uses per year £48
Non-functional Requirements:
● Provide FIVE (5) types of appliances of your choice.
● Each type has TEN (10) appliances.
● Each appliance is rented for a monthly fee.
● Each appliance should have an appropriate description, such as brand, model, dimensions, colour, energy consumption, monthly fee etc.
● All FIVE (5) types of appliances should have different minimum rental contract periods starting from ONE (1) month.
● The application users are customers and administrators.
● Provide appropriate errors and help messages, and guidance for customer
TASK
a) You need to write code (written in C#) which fulfils all the requirements as outlined above.
b) The quality of your program will be assessed in terms of program structure, OOP principles in-cluding encapsulation, algorithms using appropriate control structures (loops and selections), and readability including appropriate comments

rewrite this to bypass ai detection:
On the first day of class, we answered the question whether there is an inherent purpose or meaning to life. I have concluded that life lacks any inherent meaning or purpose. Although this realization may initially seem daunting or nihilistic, I find it to be ultimately freeing and empowering. When we recognize that life does not come with a pre-determined meaning, we are free to create our own. This means that we are not confined to societal expectations or predetermined paths, but rather have the power to shape our own destiny. We can explore different paths, pursue our passions, and create our own unique sense of purpose.
Adopting this perspective also means that we can find meaning in the present moment. Instead of constantly striving for some elusive end goal, we can focus on enjoying the journey and making the most of each day. We can find joy in the small moments, cherish our relationships, and appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Furthermore, recognizing that life lacks inherent meaning allows us to approach challenges and setbacks with greater resilience and optimism. Rather than feeling defeated by obstacles or failures, we can view them as opportunities for growth and learning. We can take risks, embrace uncertainty, and live our lives with a sense of adventure and curiosity. I am convinced that life does not have any inherent meaning or purpose. However, instead of causing despair or hopelessness, this realization is a powerful reminder of our own agency and potential. By embracing the present moment and creating our own sense of purpose, we can live our lives with greater intention, fulfillment, and joy. And as someone who believes in the philosophy of Alan Watts, He argued that we are not separate individuals, but rather an integral part of the universe. For me, this idea is a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of all things and our place in the grand scheme of things. By recognizing that we are not separate from the universe, but rather a part of it, I can appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around me. I understand that my actions have a ripple effect on the world, and that I have a responsibility to use my agency to make a positive impact. Embracing this philosophy has given me a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I am not just a passive observer of the universe, but an active participant. By taking responsibility for my actions and striving to make a positive impact, I am contributing to the greater good of the universe.

Make a fictional analysis of the text with examples, ideas and thoughts of the author.
One afternoon, a Sunday, a new model T-Ford slowly came up
the hill and went past the house. The boy, who happened to see it
from the porch, ran down the steps and stood on the sidewalk. The
driver was looking right and left as if trying to find a particular ad
dress; he turned the car around at the corner and came back. Pulling
up before the boy, he idled his throttle and beckoned with a gloved
hand. He was a Negro. His car shone. The bright work gleamed... I
am looking for a young woman of color whose name is Sarah, be said.
She is said to reside in one of these houses.
The boy realized he meant the woman in the attic. She’s here. The
man switched off the motor, set the brake and jumped down.
When Mother came to the door the colored man was respectful,
but there was something disturbingly resolute and self important
in the way he asked her if he could please speak with Sarah. Mother
could not judge his age. He was a stocky man with a red complected shining brown face, high cheekbones and large dark eyes so in tense as to suggest they were about to cross. He had a neat moustache. He was dressed in the affection of wealth to which colored
people lent themselves.
She told him to wait and closed the door. She climbed to the
third floor. She found the girl Sarah not sitting at the window as
she usually did but standing rigidly, hands folded in front of her,
and facing the door. Sarah, Mother said, you have a caller. The girl
said nothing. Will you come to the kitchen? The girl shook her head.
You don’t want to see him? No, ma’am, the girl finally said softly,
while she looked at the floor. Send him away, please. This was the
most she had said in all the months she had lived in the house. Mother went back downstairs and found the fellow not at the back door but in the kitchen where, in the warmth of the comer near the cook
stove, Sarah’s baby lay sleeping in his carriage. The black man was
kneeling beside the carriage and staring at the child. Mother, not
thinking clearly, was suddenly outraged that he had presumed to
come in the door. Sarah is unable to see you, she said and she held
the door open. The colored man took another glance at the child,
rose, thanked her and departed.
Such was the coming of the colored man in the car to Broad
view Avenue. His name was Coalhouse Walker Jr. Beginning with
that Sunday he appeared every week, always knocking at the back
door. Always turning away without complaint upon Sarah’s refusal to see him. Father considered the visits a nuisance and wanted to discourage them. I’ll call the police, he said. Mother laid her
hand on his arm. One Sunday the colored man left a bouquet of
yellow chrysanthemums which in this season had to have cost him
a pretty penny.
The black girl would say nothing about her visitor. They had no
idea where she had met him, or how. As far as they knew she had no
family nor any friends from the black community in the downtown
section of the city. Apparently she had come by herself from New
York to work as a servant. Mother was exhilarated by the situation.
She began to regret Sarah’s intransigence. She thought of the drive
from Harlem, where Coalhouse Walker Jr. lived, and the drive back,
and she decided the next time to give him more of a visit. She would
serve tea in the parlor. Father questioned the propriety of this.
Mother said, he is well spoken and conducts himself as a gentle
man. I see nothing wrong with it. When Mr Roosevelt was in the
White House he gave dinner to Booker T. Washington. Surely we
can serve tea to Coalhouse Walker Jr.
And so it happened on the next Sunday that the Negro took tea.
Father noted that he suffered no embarrassment by being in the parlor with a cup and saucer in his hand. On the contrary, he acted as if it
was the most natural thing in the world. The surroundings did not
Денис Лисунов, [10.04.2023 0:17]
awe him nor was his manner deferential. He was courteous and correct. He told them about himself. He was a professional pianist and was now more or less permanently located in New York, having se
cured a job with the Jim Europe Clef Club Orchestra, a well known ensemble that gave regular concerts at the Manhattan Casino on 155th Street and Eighth Avenue. It was important, he said, for a musician to find a place that was permanent, a job that required no travelling... I am through travelling, he said. I am through going on the road. He spoke so fervently that Father realized the message was in
tended for the woman upstairs. This irritated him. What can you play?
he said abruptly. Why don’t you play something for us?
The black man placed tea on the tray. He rose, patted his lips with
the napkin, placed the napkin beside his cup and went to the piano.
He sat on the piano stool and immediately rose and twirled it till the
height was to his satisfaction. He sat down again, played a chord and
turned to them. This piano is badly in need of a tuning, he said. Fa
ther’s face reddened. Oh, yes. Mother said, we are terrible about that.
The musician turned again to the keyboard. “Wall Street
Rag,” he
said. Composed by the great Scott Joplin.
He began to play. Ill tuned
or not the Aeolian had never made such sounds. Small clear chords
hung in the air like flowers. The melodies were like bouquets. There
seemed to be no other possibilities for life than those delineated by
the music. When the piece was over Coalhouse Walker turned on the
stool and found in his audience the entire family: Mother, Father, the
boy, Grandfather and Mother’s Younger Brother, who had come down
from his room in shirt and suspenders to see who was playing. Of all
of them he was the only one who knew ragtime. He had heard it in his
nightlife period in New York. He had never expected to hear it in his
sister’s home.
Coalhouse Walker Jr. turned back to the piano and said “The
Maple Leaf”. Composed by the great Scott Joplin. The most famous
rag of all rang through the air. The pianist sat stiffly at the key
board, his long dark hands with their pink nails seemingly with no
effort producing the clusters of syncopating chords and the thumping octaves. This was a most robust composition, a vigorous music that roused the senses and never stood still a moment. The boy perceived it as light touching various places in space, accumulating in
intricate patterns until the entire room was made to glow with its
own being. The music filled the stairwell to the third floor where
the mute and unforgiving Sarah sat with her hands folded and listened with the door open.
The piece was brought to a conclusion. Everyone applauded. Mother then introduced Mr Walker to Grandfather and to Younger Brother,
who shook the black man’s hand and said I am pleased to meet you.
Coalhouse Walker was solemn. Everyone was standing. There was a
silence. Father cleared his throat. Father was not knowledgeable in
music. His taste ran to Carrie Jacobs Bond.
He thought Negro music
had to have smiling and cakewalkmg. Do you know any coon songs?
he said. He did not intend to be rude — coon songs was what they
were called. But the pianist responded with a tense shake of the head.
Coon songs are made for minstrel shows,
he said. White men sing
them in blackface. There was another silence. The black man looked
at the ceiling. Well, he said, it appears as if Miss Sarah will not be able
to receive me. He turned abruptly and walked through the hall to the
kitchen. The family followed him. He had left his coat on a chair. He
put it on and ignoring them all, he knelt and gazed at the baby asleep
in its carriage. After several moments he stood up, said good day and
walked out of the door. |

Background information
This portion of the lab section involved creating a genomic library using a streptomycin resistant strain of E.coli top10 (4537 bp) as the genomic DNA which will be incorporated into puc19 plasmid (2686 bp) vector as proposed earlier in PART B proposal document. To achieve this our pair (Jetul and Japneet) firstly isolated the DNA from genomic stain and plasmid using specific isolation kits included in method section. Followed by restriction enzyme digestion with suitable enzyme prior to ligation. The plan then included functional selection based on streptomycin resistance which will confirm successful insertion of rspL gene in the recipient E.coli strain Mach1, the competent cells used for transformation.
To achieve the proposed plan, E.coli strain top10 (4537 bp) served as the genomic strain that will be the source of streptomycin resistance rspL gene. The FastDigest HindIII (thermo scientific) digested fragment will be insert into a digested pUC19 plasmid vector (2686 bp) utilizing ligation process. Once ligated, the product will be transformed with Mach1 chemically competent cells (O.D. value = 0.77). To confirm the success of ligation the transformed product will be plated on ampillicin/X-gal/IPTG plates and the white colonies will then be streaked onto streptomycin plates to verify the rspl gene streptomycin resistance property.
As per the proposal, digesting the bacterial strains with similar digestion enzyme (HindIII) prior to ligation followed by transformation would have ideally given the genomic library however, throughout the project certain decisions were changed based on the results which will be thoroughly covered in this document along with the solutions taken to troubleshoot the mistakes.
Methods/Materials
Isolation of genomic DNA and plasmid DNA:
To start with the procedure of creating a genomic library from E.coli strain Top10 and plasmid pUC19, 5 mL genomic DNA (Top10) and 3 mL plasmid pUC19 was isolated using GeneJET genomic DNA purification kit (lot 01319594) and GeneJET plasmid Mini prep kit (lot 01218820) respectively. This task was completed in pair, genomic DNA isolated by Jetul and pUC19 by Japneet.
Concentration of both genomic and plasmid pUC19 were determined using SimpliNano which are summarized in the table below.
Table 1: Observed concentrations of isolated genomic material using SimpliNano.
Genomic material A260/A280 A260/A230 DNA Conc. (ng/µL)
Top10 1.988 1.644 33.2
pUC19 1.866 1.211 17.2
The above table summarizes the observed concentration data for isolated genomic material on Feb 21, 2023. The volume of sample loaded in SimpliNano was 2 µL for both DNA. Elution buffer(01177350 and 00991597) from both respective isolation kits were used as a blank on SimpliNano.
Restriction Enzyme Digestion:
As per part A proposal our group wanted to use HindIII enzyme of restriction enzyme digestion, but BamHI was used instead. This was changed because the aim was to check whether BamHI will show the same digestion or similar results with strainTop10 of E. coli as it was the case with K12 strain.
Both genomic DNA from Top10 and plasmid DNA of pUC19 were digested with BamHI enzyme in second week of this project (March 8, 2023) and the reagent volumes used are listed in the table given below.
Table 2: Reagents for restriction enzyme digestion of genomic material.
Digestion Reagents pUC19 Top10 (rspL gene)
Genetic material 2 µL 10 µL
Fast digest buffer 2 µL 2 µL
BamHI (Fast Digest Enzyme) 1 µL 1 µL
PCR Grade Water 30 µL 22 µL
Total Reaction volume 35 µL 35 µL
This table summarizes the reagent recipe used for first restriction enzyme digestion of genetic materials used to create the genomic library. The above listed both digestion reactions were incubated in 37 °C water bath for 30 minutes before heat inactivation at 80 °C for 10 minutes.
gel electrophoresis
This gel electrophoresis was performed on same day in order to confirm whether the digestion was successful or not and whether the isolated genomic DNA contains the rspL gene. To prepare this, 1% gel was prepared using 500 mg Agarose powder in 50 mL 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM for visualization.
1Kb DNA ladder was used as a standard with 6X loading dye. 10 µL of digested genomic was loaded into the gel. Gel was run for 20 minutes at 120V. When analyzed under UV light, there were no bands visible.
DNA clean-up:
Since gel electrophoresis results indicated no bands it was decided with the help of lab instructor to perform a DNA clean up for genomic to concentrate it more.
Originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA was cleaned up using “Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit” the following week ( March 14, 2023). A small change was introduced in original clean up protocol which stated “10 µL of Elution buffer” to elute which was updated to “15 µL of Elution Buffer”. Concentration of genomic DNA was checked on SimpliNano after clean up which came out to be significantly low ( 0.012 µg/ µL) as compared to earlier 33.2 ng/ µL. This indicated the DNA was lost in clean up process.
Table 3: Concentration of genomic DNA (Top10) analyzed on SimpliNano after DNA clean up.
Cleaned up genomic Top10 DNA
A260/A230 0.826
A260/A280 1.609
ng/ µL 12
The above table lists the concentration of originally isolated genomic DNA of strain Top10 after clean-up using Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit (LOT 2599306). Volume of sample loaded on SimpliNano was 2 µL and the blank used was the elution buffer(LOT 01307087) from the DNA clean up kit.
New isolated genomic Top10 DNA provided by Vanessa:
Since the whole genomic DNA was lost therefore another vial of isolated genomic was provided by lab instructor. The concentration of new genomic DNA was analyzed on SimpliNano which came out to be 28.1 ng/ µL with 1.598 (A260/A280) and 1.143 (A260/A230). This genomic DNA was then cleaned-up using the same clean up kit with same modification of 15 µL elution buffer. After clean up the concentration was checked on SimpliNano and is stated in table below.
Table 4: Concentration of new genomic Top10 DNA before and after clean-up.
Before clean up After clean up
A260/A280 1.598 1.794
A260/A230 1.143 2.188
ng/ µL 28.1 109.6
The above table summarizes the observed concentrations of new isolated genomic top10 DNA provided by Vanessa. These concentrations refer to the DNA before using GeneJET genomic DNA purification kit with its corresponding elution buffer as blank. Also after clean up using Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit (LOT 2599306). Volume of sample loaded on SimpliNano was 2 µL and the blank used was the elution buffer(LOT 01307087) from the DNA clean up kit.
New Digestion reaction set up with cleaned up genomic DNA:
The new digestion was performed using the cleaned up genomic DNA with higher concentration. The table summarizes the reaction reagents and volumes.
Table 5: The reaction reagents for restriction enzyme digestion of both genomic material.
pUC19 Top10 genomic DNA
Concentration 17.2 ng/ µL 109.6 ng/ µL
Genomic material 4 µL 5 µL
Fast Digest Buffer 2 µL 2 µL
Fast Digest Enzyme (BamHI) 1 µL 1 µL
PCR Grade water 28 µL 27 µL
Total reaction volume 35 µL 35 µL
The table gives the reaction volumes that were used to perform enzyme digestion of both genetic materials used in this project to construct a genomic library. Both reactions were incubated for half an hour in 37 °C water bath prior to heat inactivation at 80 °C for 10 minutes. The digestion reactions were then stored in ice bucket until gel electrophoresis apparatus was ready.
Another 1% gel electrophoresis:
Similar recipe of 1% gel electrophoresis was prepared that is 500 mg Agarose in 50 mL 1X TAE buffer along with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM for visualization. Same 1Kb DNA ladder was used as standard with 6X loading dye. This time since the concentration of newly cleaned genomic DNA was significantly high, only 5 µL of cut and uncut genomic along with cut plasmid with 6X loading dye was loaded.
6X loading dye sample calculation:
1/(6 )= x/(x+5)
x+5= 6x
5= 6x-x
5= 5x
x=1 µL , where x is the amount of loading dye added to the sample.
The 1% gel was shared with another group with ladder in the center followed by uncut genomic, cut genomic and cut plasmid from our samples. First half of the gel was utilized by Mahan’s group. The gel was run for about 20-25 minutes at 120 V and the results were first visualized under UV light and then under BIOrad software which will be added in result section.
Ligation with only one reaction:
This was decided to check if the ligation was successful or not which was performed the following week (March 21, 2023). To do so, a 1:1 ratio of cut plasmid pUC19 and cut genomic top10 (insert) was ligated using T4 ligase (vector) accompanied with the use of PEG4000.
The following table summarizes the reaction reagents and volumes.
Table 6: Ligation reaction set up for digested insert and vector using T4 ligase.
Reaction reagents Ligation ratio (1:1)
Insert (digested genomic top10 DNA) 3 µL
Vector (digested pUC19) 3 µL
T4 Ligase Buffer (5X) 5 µL
T4 Ligase 2 µL
PEG4000 2 µL
PCR Grade water 10 µL
Total reaction volume 25 µL
This ligation reagent recipe was used to ligate the insert and vector achieved from restriction enzyme digestion of genomic top10 and pUC19 with BamHI. This ligation reaction was incubated overnight at 4 °C and heat inactivated after 24 hours at 65 °C for 10 minutes. The ligated product was then stored at -20 °C until transformation.
Transformation with Mach 01 strain competent cells:
Transformation of the ligated product was performed the same week (March 24, 2023). To proceed with transformation, 4 vials of competent cells (50 µL each) were provided by Vanessa along with 4 agar plates.
Goal was to plate one positive control, one negative control for validation of results with one experimental in duplicates. Protocol of transformation was used to first thaw the competent cells on ice (about 20 minutes) followed by setting up controls and experimental.
Table 7 : Controls and experimental reaction set for transformation of ligated product.
Reaction Positive control Negative control Experimental
Reagents 50 µL competent cells + 10 µL pUC19 50 µL of competent cells 50
The transformation reactions were then incubated on ice for 30 minutes prior to heat shock at 42 °C for 30 seconds. The reactions were then placed on shaker for 1 hour until recovered. Meanwhile, when 30 minutes were left while cells were recovering, 4 agar plates were spread with 100 µL of 25 mg/mL Ampicillin, 40 µL of 20 mg/mL X-gal and 8 µL of 500 mM IPTG per plate respectively. After successive completion of 1 hour recovery of cells, one little change was introduced in which the cells were pelleted at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes. Instead of plating 200 µL onto plates, 150 µL was plated for each. This was done because in part A the positive control did not show TNTC which means.
Once solidified, all 4 plates were incubated at 35 ° C for 24 hours. Plates were retrieved from incubator the next day (March 25, 2023).
Results:
First gel electrophoresis.
Image 1: Picture of first 1% gel electrophoresis performed to confirm the presence of rspL gene after digestion of genomic DNA with BamHI
The above image was captured from UV light analysis of the 1% agarose gel prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM and 6X loading dye. The well labelled 1 was utilized for 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX), 5 µL loaded as standard whilst the well labelled 2 contains the digested genomic DNA (10 µL digested sample + 2 µL loading dye). The above gel electrophoresis was run at 120 V for 20 minutes. Genomic uncut was not loaded which was considered an error. Moreover, there were no bands at all and the problem was low concentration of genomic DNA.
It was noticed that since INtRON RedSafeTM requires at minimum 50 ng/ µL of the sample concentration to give any visualization detection effects, the above gel electrophoresis was unsuccessful. This is because the concentration of originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA was already quite low with 33.2 ng/ µL and while preparing the digestion reaction with total volume of 35 µL we used 10 µL of the genomic DNA which implies that our genomic was diluted. Not only this when we loaded 10 µL digested sample with 2 µL loading dye it further diluted. As per this, the concentration of loaded sample was 33.2 ng/ µL which is very less than 50 ng/ µL as per the RedSafeTM to work efficiently.
Calculations of digested sample concentration:
(33.2 ng / µL × 10 µL in digestion) / (10 µL while loading) = 33.2 ng/ µL
Hence, nothing was detected.
Furthermore, digested pUC19 plasmid and uncut genomic Top10 was not loaded and therefore nothing was there to compare which was a mistake.
This resulted in cleaning up the genomic DNA to get better concentration numbers and then perform digestion and gel electrophoresis for confirming the presence of rspL gene and action of BamHI. Another gel electrophoresis was performed with new genomic DNA provided by Vanessa followed by its clean up since the originally isolated genomic DNA was lost in clean up procedures.
Image 2: Second 1% gel electrophoresis performed after digesting newly cleaned genomic DNA.
The above image represents the picture captured of 1% gel electrophoresis run for 25 minutes at 120 V under UV light. This is the seconds gel that contained new digestion reaction containing the genomic DNA after clean up. The gel was prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM along with 6X loading dye used for sample preparations. Gel was shared with another group (Mahan’s) which is represented with the arrow head and samples in lane 1,2,3 belongs to other group. Well labelled 4 contained the 5 µL of 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX) , well 5 contained the uncut genomic Top10 (5 µL + 6X loading dye), well 6 contained cut genomic with BamHI((5 µL + 6X loading dye) and well 7 contains the cut plasmid with BamHI ((5 µL + 6X loading dye).

The above image represents the picture captured of 1% gel electrophoresis run for 25 minutes at 120 V under BIORAD Imager. The gel was prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM along with 6X loading dye used for sample preparations. Gel was shared with another group (Mahan’s) which is represented with the arrow head and samples in lane 1,2,3 belongs to other group. Well labelled 4 contained the 5 µL of 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX) , well 5 contained the uncut genomic Top10 (5 µL + 6X loading dye) which as expected showed a large uncut band, well 6 contained cut genomic with BamHI((5 µL + 6X loading dye) which showed a large smear in image and is shorter as compared to the large band of genomic in lane 5 hence suggest the digestion to be complete and well 7 contains the cut plasmid with BamHI ((5 µL + 6X loading dye) which showed two very faint bands as highlighted with red color on image.
Image 4: Transformation results containing experiment results and controls after 24-hour incubation at 37 degrees Celsius.
The above image represents the picture captured of agar plates after 24-hour incubation at 37 degrees Celsius. Each of the plates above contains 100 µL of 25 mg/mL Ampicillin, 40 µL of 20 mg/mL X-gal, and 8 µL of 500 mM IPTG. Negative control contains 50 µL of competent cells. Positive control contains 50 µL of competent cells and 5 µL of pUC19. Experiment plates are in duplicate and contains 50 µL of competent cells and 10 µL of ligated product. In the experiment cells were heat shocked for 30 seconds at 42 degrees Celsius. 500 µL of broth was added to cells as medium. Cells recovered at 37 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. After recovery, cells were spun down for 5 minutes at 5000 x g and 200 µL of it was thrown. 150 µL of cells were spread onto the plates using Pasteur pipette. Bunsen burner was used to maintain a sterile environment. The experiment failed since the positive control contains contamination (the big white colonies shown in the image are contamination).

The above image provides information related to the total length of the genomic Top 10 DNA that is 4537 bp. The tool used for this was restriction analyzer. It also shows that BamHI cuts at 2 different sites on genomic DNA. The cutting positions are 180 and 2865. These sites give very big fragments that can be seen as smear in image 2.
This enzyme cuts at 662 on pUC19 and creates sticky ends. The total size of the plasmid is 2686 bp. If we incorporate this plasmid inside a host mentioned above, it gives a smear. There are also chances that host could not uptake the DNA containing rspL gene.

Detailed Discussion
In this study, the primary aim was to create a genomic library using a streptomycin-resistant strain of Escherichia coli Top10 as a source of genomic DNA for the rspL gene. The gene was to be inserted into the pUC19 plasmid vector for transformation and functional selection based on streptomycin resistance. However, throughout the course of this project, several problems were encountered, and adjustments had to be made, as detailed in the methods and results sections.
The first major issue encountered in the project was the inability to visualize bands after performing the first gel electrophoresis after digestion of genomic DNA with BamHI. A major contributing factor to this problem was the low concentration of the genomic DNA. At 33.2 ng/µL, this concentration was lower than the detection limit of the RedSafeTM dye used for visualization. Moreover, the omission of uncut genomic DNA and cut plasmid DNA from electrophoresis made it difficult to assess the digestion process through a visual comparison. This insight highlighted the need for a more careful approach in terms of sample preparation and loading, as well as the importance of an optimal DNA concentration for successful gel electrophoresis.
To address the issue of low DNA concentration, a DNA clean-up step was performed using a GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean-up kit. However, the process resulted in a substantial loss of DNA, lowering its concentration to 12 ng/µL. This outcome led to the provision of a new genomic DNA sample with a higher initial concentration of 28.1 ng/µL. Following clean-up with the same kit, this sample’s concentration increased to 109.6 ng/µL, which was considered suitable for further experimentation. The effective DNA cleanup of genomic DNA played a crucial role in ensuring a better DNA resolution on the gel after digestion.
Based on the significantly higher DNA concentration, a second gel electrophoresis was performed. The results indicated a successful digestion of genomic DNA with BamHI, as evidenced by a smear for the cut genomic DNA when compared against uncut genomic DNA. Notably, the cut plasmid showed faint bands, which could be attributed to inefficient digestion or potential problems with gel preparation or electrophoresis conditions. However, the successful digestion of genomic DNA suggested that the project could proceed to the next steps involving ligation and transformation.
The transformation of the ligated product with Mach1 competent cells was performed twice, although both trials raised concerns. The first attempt resulted in contaminated positive control plates, whereas the second attempt led to inefficient DNA uptake by the host organism and subsequent unsuccessful transformation. In both cases, challenges arising from bacterial transformation processes underscored the importance of proper experimental set-up and maintenance of sterile conditions in the laboratory.
The use of BamHI and HindIII restriction enzymes improved the chances of obtaining a fragment containing the rspL gene, as determined through the Restriction Analyzer tool. However, the challenge of ensuring that the host organism uptakes DNA containing the rspL gene still remains. Consequently, addressing this challenge necessitates further troubleshooting and optimization of related protocols.
To troubleshoot and optimize results, several key changes can be implemented in future experiments:
1. Ensuring optimal DNA concentration and quality: The A260/A280 ratio should ideally lie between 1.8 and 2, and DNA concentrations should be above the detection limit of the dye used in gel electrophoresis.
2. Performing gel electrophoresis with uncut and cut genomic and plasmid DNA: This approach provides better insights into the extent of digestion and the presence or absence of the rspL gene fragment. Additionally, optimizing gel conditions, such as agarose concentration, buffer composition, and voltage, can influence the resolution of bands.
3. Modifying the transformation protocol: Optimization may involve varying parameters such as heat shock duration, cell recovery time, and plating techniques to maximize transformation efficiency.
In conclusion, the endeavor to create a genomic library with a streptomycin-resistant E. coli Top10 strain and an rspL gene insert into the pUC19 plasmid vector system has proven challenging. Nevertheless, with troubleshooting measures and protocol optimizations in place, future attempts at this experiment are expected to yield improved outcomes and valuable insights into the creation of genomic libraries.

Background information
This portion of the lab section involved creating a genomic library using a streptomycin resistant strain of E.coli top10 (4537 bp) as the genomic DNA which will be incorporated into puc19 plasmid (2686 bp) vector as proposed earlier in PART B proposal document. To achieve this our pair (Jetul and Japneet) firstly isolated the DNA from genomic stain and plasmid using specific isolation kits included in method section. Followed by restriction enzyme digestion with suitable enzyme prior to ligation. The plan then included functional selection based on streptomycin resistance which will confirm successful insertion of rspL gene in the recipient E.coli strain Mach1, the competent cells used for transformation.
To achieve the proposed plan, E.coli strain top10 (4537 bp) served as the genomic strain that will be the source of streptomycin resistance rspL gene. The FastDigest HindIII (thermo scientific) digested fragment will be insert into a digested pUC19 plasmid vector (2686 bp) utilizing ligation process. Once ligated, the product will be transformed with Mach1 chemically competent cells (O.D. value = 0.77). To confirm the success of ligation the transformed product will be plated on ampillicin/X-gal/IPTG plates and the white colonies will then be streaked onto streptomycin plates to verify the rspl gene streptomycin resistance property.
As per the proposal, digesting the bacterial strains with similar digestion enzyme (HindIII) prior to ligation followed by transformation would have ideally given the genomic library however, throughout the project certain decisions were changed based on the results which will be thoroughly covered in this document along with the solutions taken to troubleshoot the mistakes.
Methods/Materials
Isolation of genomic DNA and plasmid DNA:
To start with the procedure of creating a genomic library from E.coli strain Top10 and plasmid pUC19, 5 mL genomic DNA (Top10) and 3 mL plasmid pUC19 was isolated using GeneJET genomic DNA purification kit (lot 01319594) and GeneJET plasmid Mini prep kit (lot 01218820) respectively. This task was completed in pair, genomic DNA isolated by Jetul and pUC19 by Japneet.
Concentration of both genomic and plasmid pUC19 were determined using SimpliNano which are summarized in the table below.
Table 1: Observed concentrations of isolated genomic material using SimpliNano.
Genomic material A260/A280 A260/A230 DNA Conc. (ng/µL)
Top10 1.988 1.644 33.2
pUC19 1.866 1.211 17.2
The above table summarizes the observed concentration data for isolated genomic material on Feb 21, 2023. The volume of sample loaded in SimpliNano was 2 µL for both DNA. Elution buffer(01177350 and 00991597) from both respective isolation kits were used as a blank on SimpliNano.
Restriction Enzyme Digestion:
As per part A proposal our group wanted to use HindIII enzyme of restriction enzyme digestion, but BamHI was used instead. This was changed because the aim was to check whether BamHI will show the same digestion or similar results with strainTop10 of E. coli as it was the case with K12 strain.
Both genomic DNA from Top10 and plasmid DNA of pUC19 were digested with BamHI enzyme in second week of this project (March 8, 2023) and the reagent volumes used are listed in the table given below.
Table 2: Reagents for restriction enzyme digestion of genomic material.
Digestion Reagents pUC19 Top10 (rspL gene)
Genetic material 2 µL 10 µL
Fast digest buffer 2 µL 2 µL
BamHI (Fast Digest Enzyme) 1 µL 1 µL
PCR Grade Water 30 µL 22 µL
Total Reaction volume 35 µL 35 µL
This table summarizes the reagent recipe used for first restriction enzyme digestion of genetic materials used to create the genomic library. The above listed both digestion reactions were incubated in 37 °C water bath for 30 minutes before heat inactivation at 80 °C for 10 minutes.
gel electrophoresis
This gel electrophoresis was performed on same day in order to confirm whether the digestion was successful or not and whether the isolated genomic DNA contains the rspL gene. To prepare this, 1% gel was prepared using 500 mg Agarose powder in 50 mL 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM for visualization.
1Kb DNA ladder was used as a standard with 6X loading dye. 10 µL of digested genomic was loaded into the gel. Gel was run for 20 minutes at 120V. When analyzed under UV light, there were no bands visible.
DNA clean-up:
Since gel electrophoresis results indicated no bands it was decided with the help of lab instructor to perform a DNA clean up for genomic to concentrate it more.
Originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA was cleaned up using “Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit” the following week ( March 14, 2023). A small change was introduced in original clean up protocol which stated “10 µL of Elution buffer” to elute which was updated to “15 µL of Elution Buffer”. Concentration of genomic DNA was checked on SimpliNano after clean up which came out to be significantly low ( 0.012 µg/ µL) as compared to earlier 33.2 ng/ µL. This indicated the DNA was lost in clean up process.
Table 3: Concentration of genomic DNA (Top10) analyzed on SimpliNano after DNA clean up.
Cleaned up genomic Top10 DNA
A260/A230 0.826
A260/A280 1.609
ng/ µL 12
The above table lists the concentration of originally isolated genomic DNA of strain Top10 after clean-up using Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit (LOT 2599306). Volume of sample loaded on SimpliNano was 2 µL and the blank used was the elution buffer(LOT 01307087) from the DNA clean up kit.
New isolated genomic Top10 DNA provided by Vanessa:
Since the whole genomic DNA was lost therefore another vial of isolated genomic was provided by lab instructor. The concentration of new genomic DNA was analyzed on SimpliNano which came out to be 28.1 ng/ µL with 1.598 (A260/A280) and 1.143 (A260/A230). This genomic DNA was then cleaned-up using the same clean up kit with same modification of 15 µL elution buffer. After clean up the concentration was checked on SimpliNano and is stated in table below.
Table 4: Concentration of new genomic Top10 DNA before and after clean-up.
Before clean up After clean up
A260/A280 1.598 1.794
A260/A230 1.143 2.188
ng/ µL 28.1 109.6
The above table summarizes the observed concentrations of new isolated genomic top10 DNA provided by Vanessa. These concentrations refer to the DNA before using GeneJET genomic DNA purification kit with its corresponding elution buffer as blank. Also after clean up using Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit (LOT 2599306). Volume of sample loaded on SimpliNano was 2 µL and the blank used was the elution buffer(LOT 01307087) from the DNA clean up kit.
New Digestion reaction set up with cleaned up genomic DNA:
The new digestion was performed using the cleaned up genomic DNA with higher concentration. The table summarizes the reaction reagents and volumes.
Table 5: The reaction reagents for restriction enzyme digestion of both genomic material.
pUC19 Top10 genomic DNA
Concentration 17.2 ng/ µL 109.6 ng/ µL
Genomic material 4 µL 5 µL
Fast Digest Buffer 2 µL 2 µL
Fast Digest Enzyme (BamHI) 1 µL 1 µL
PCR Grade water 28 µL 27 µL
Total reaction volume 35 µL 35 µL
The table gives the reaction volumes that were used to perform enzyme digestion of both genetic materials used in this project to construct a genomic library. Both reactions were incubated for half an hour in 37 °C water bath prior to heat inactivation at 80 °C for 10 minutes. The digestion reactions were then stored in ice bucket until gel electrophoresis apparatus was ready.
Another 1% gel electrophoresis:
Similar recipe of 1% gel electrophoresis was prepared that is 500 mg Agarose in 50 mL 1X TAE buffer along with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM for visualization. Same 1Kb DNA ladder was used as standard with 6X loading dye. This time since the concentration of newly cleaned genomic DNA was significantly high, only 5 µL of cut and uncut genomic along with cut plasmid with 6X loading dye was loaded.
6X loading dye sample calculation:
1/(6 )= x/(x+5)
x+5= 6x
5= 6x-x
5= 5x
x=1 µL , where x is the amount of loading dye added to the sample.
The 1% gel was shared with another group with ladder in the center followed by uncut genomic, cut genomic and cut plasmid from our samples. First half of the gel was utilized by Mahan’s group. The gel was run for about 20-25 minutes at 120 V and the results were first visualized under UV light and then under BIOrad software which will be added in result section.
Ligation with only one reaction:
This was decided to check if the ligation was successful or not which was performed the following week (March 21, 2023). To do so, a 1:1 ratio of cut plasmid pUC19 and cut genomic top10 (insert) was ligated using T4 ligase (vector) accompanied with the use of PEG4000.
The following table summarizes the reaction reagents and volumes.
Table 6: Ligation reaction set up for digested insert and vector using T4 ligase.
Reaction reagents Ligation ratio (1:1)
Insert (digested genomic top10 DNA) 3 µL
Vector (digested pUC19) 3 µL
T4 Ligase Buffer (5X) 5 µL
T4 Ligase 2 µL
PEG4000 2 µL
PCR Grade water 10 µL
Total reaction volume 25 µL
This ligation reagent recipe was used to ligate the insert and vector achieved from restriction enzyme digestion of genomic top10 and pUC19 with BamHI. This ligation reaction was incubated overnight at 4 °C and heat inactivated after 24 hours at 65 °C for 10 minutes. The ligated product was then stored at -20 °C until transformation.
Transformation with Mach 01 strain competent cells:
Transformation of the ligated product was performed the same week (March 24, 2023). To proceed with transformation, 4 vials of competent cells (50 µL each) were provided by Vanessa along with 4 agar plates.
Goal was to plate one positive control, one negative control for validation of results with one experimental in duplicates. Protocol of transformation was used to first thaw the competent cells on ice (about 20 minutes) followed by setting up controls and experimental.
Table 7 : Controls and experimental reaction set for transformation of ligated product.
Reaction Positive control Negative control Experimental
Reagents 50 µL competent cells + 10 µL pUC19 50 µL of competent cells 50
The transformation reactions were then incubated on ice for 30 minutes prior to heat shock at 42 °C for 30 seconds. The reactions were then placed on shaker for 1 hour until recovered. Meanwhile, when 30 minutes were left while cells were recovering, 4 agar plates were spread with 100 µL of 25 mg/mL Ampicillin, 40 µL of 20 mg/mL X-gal and 8 µL of 500 mM IPTG per plate respectively. After successive completion of 1 hour recovery of cells, one little change was introduced in which the cells were pelleted at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes. Instead of plating 200 µL onto plates, 150 µL was plated for each. This was done because in part A the positive control did not show TNTC which means.
Once solidified, all 4 plates were incubated at 35 ° C for 24 hours. Plates were retrieved from incubator the next day (March 25, 2023).
Results:
First gel electrophoresis.
Image 1: Picture of first 1% gel electrophoresis performed to confirm the presence of rspL gene after digestion of genomic DNA with BamHI
The above image was captured from UV light analysis of the 1% agarose gel prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM and 6X loading dye. The well labelled 1 was utilized for 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX), 5 µL loaded as standard whilst the well labelled 2 contains the digested genomic DNA (10 µL digested sample + 2 µL loading dye). The above gel electrophoresis was run at 120 V for 20 minutes. Genomic uncut was not loaded which was considered an error. Moreover, there were no bands at all and the problem was low concentration of genomic DNA.
It was noticed that since INtRON RedSafeTM requires at minimum 50 ng/ µL of the sample concentration to give any visualization detection effects, the above gel electrophoresis was unsuccessful. This is because the concentration of originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA was already quite low with 33.2 ng/ µL and while preparing the digestion reaction with total volume of 35 µL we used 10 µL of the genomic DNA which implies that our genomic was diluted. Not only this when we loaded 10 µL digested sample with 2 µL loading dye it further diluted. As per this, the concentration of loaded sample was 33.2 ng/ µL which is very less than 50 ng/ µL as per the RedSafeTM to work efficiently.
Calculations of digested sample concentration:
(33.2 ng / µL × 10 µL in digestion) / (10 µL while loading) = 33.2 ng/ µL
Hence, nothing was detected.
Furthermore, digested pUC19 plasmid and uncut genomic Top10 was not loaded and therefore nothing was there to compare which was a mistake.
This resulted in cleaning up the genomic DNA to get better concentration numbers and then perform digestion and gel electrophoresis for confirming the presence of rspL gene and action of BamHI. Another gel electrophoresis was performed with new genomic DNA provided by Vanessa followed by its clean up since the originally isolated genomic DNA was lost in clean up procedures.
Image 2: Second 1% gel electrophoresis performed after digesting newly cleaned genomic DNA.
The above image represents the picture captured of 1% gel electrophoresis run for 25 minutes at 120 V under UV light. This is the seconds gel that contained new digestion reaction containing the genomic DNA after clean up. The gel was prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM along with 6X loading dye used for sample preparations. Gel was shared with another group (Mahan’s) which is represented with the arrow head and samples in lane 1,2,3 belongs to other group. Well labelled 4 contained the 5 µL of 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX) , well 5 contained the uncut genomic Top10 (5 µL + 6X loading dye), well 6 contained cut genomic with BamHI((5 µL + 6X loading dye) and well 7 contains the cut plasmid with BamHI ((5 µL + 6X loading dye).

Well labelled 4 contained the 5 µL of 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX) , well 5 contained the uncut genomic Top10 (5 µL + 6X loading dye) which as expected showed a large uncut band, well 6 contained cut genomic with BamHI((5 µL + 6X loading dye) which showed a large smear in image and is shorter as compared to the large band of genomic in lane 5 hence suggest the digestion to be complete and well 7 contains the cut plasmid with BamHI ((5 µL + 6X loading dye) which showed two very faint bands as highlighted with red color on image.
Image 4: Transformation results containing experiment results and controls after 24-hour incubation at 37 degrees Celsius.
The above image represents the picture captured of agar plates after 24-hour incubation at 37 degrees Celsius. Each of the plates above contains 100 µL of 25 mg/mL Ampicillin, 40 µL of 20 mg/mL X-gal, and 8 µL of 500 mM IPTG. Negative control contains 50 µL of competent cells. Positive control contains 50 µL of competent cells and 5 µL of pUC19. Experiment plates are in duplicate and contains 50 µL of competent cells and 10 µL of ligated product. In the experiment cells were heat shocked for 30 seconds at 42 degrees Celsius. 500 µL of broth was added to cells as medium. Cells recovered at 37 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. After recovery, cells were spun down for 5 minutes at 5000 x g and 200 µL of it was thrown. 150 µL of cells were spread onto the plates using Pasteur pipette. Bunsen burner was used to maintain a sterile environment. The experiment failed since the positive control contains contamination (the big white colonies shown in the image are contamination).

The gel was prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM along with 6X loading dye used for sample preparations. Well labelled 1 contained the 10 µL of 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX), well labelled 2 contained the undigested genomic Top10 (10 µL + 6X loading dye), well labelled 3 contained digested genomic with BamHI and HindIII (10 µL + 6X loading dye), well labelled 4 contains the undigested plasmid (10 µL + 6X loading dye) and well labelled 5 contains the digested plasmid with BamHI and HindIII (10 µL + 6X loading dye).
Image 7: Information regarding the total length of the genomic Top 10 DNA using restriction analyzer
The above image provides information related to the total length of the genomic Top 10 DNA that is 4537 bp. The tool used for this was restriction analyzer. It also shows that BamHI cuts at 2 different sites on genomic DNA. The cutting positions are 180 and 2865. These sites give very big fragments that can be seen as smear in image 2.
This enzyme cuts at 662 on pUC19 and creates sticky ends. The total size of the plasmid is 2686 bp. If we incorporate this plasmid inside a host mentioned above, it gives a smear. There are also chances that host could not uptake the DNA containing rspL gene.

It also shows that BamHI cuts at 662 position on plasmid DNA and HindIII cuts at 632 positions. Since we are using two different enzymes, there is a better chance that our fragment contains rspL gene.

Discussion:
The primary objective of this project was to create a genomic library using a streptomycin-resistant strain of E.coli Top10 (4537 bp) as the genomic DNA, incorporating it into a pUC19 plasmid (2686 bp) vector. The successful construction of this genomic library was expected to confer streptomycin resistance to a recipient E.coli strain Mach1 through the functional selection of the rspL gene. However, throughout the experiment, several challenges were encountered, leading to changes in the experimental design and troubleshooting of errors.
An initial gel electrophoresis performed to confirm the presence of the rspL gene after digestion of genomic DNA with BamHI resulted in no visible bands. This was primarily due to the low concentration of the originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA (33.2 ng/µL), which was further diluted during the digestion reaction and loading of the gel. This concentration was below the minimum detection limit required for the INtRON RedSafeTM nucleic acid stain to work efficiently (50 ng/µL). As a consequence, no bands were detected, and the experiment had to be repeated with a new and cleaned up genomic DNA sample.
Subsequent gel electrophoresis performed after digesting the cleaned-up genomic DNA with BamHI showed successful digestion of the genomic Top10 DNA, as evidenced by a shorter smear in comparison to the uncut band of the genomic DNA. In addition, the plasmid pUC19 showed two very faint bands after digestion with BamHI, indicating appropriate digestion of the plasmid as well.
A ligation reaction was set up using a 1:1 ratio for cut genomic Top10 DNA (insert) and cut plasmid pUC19 (vector). After overnight incubation at 4 °C, the ligated product was transformed into Mach1 chemically competent cells. The initial transformation results were inconclusive due to contamination observed in the positive control plate. A second transformation attempt also resulted in inefficient uptake of DNA by the host organism, leading to an unsuccessful transformation.
To increase the likelihood of obtaining a fragment containing the rspL gene, a third gel electrophoresis was performed using HindIII in addition to BamHI for digesting both genomic Top10 DNA and plasmid pUC19. The use of two different enzymes would increase the accuracy of the construct and facilitate the incorporation of the desired fragment into the plasmid.
Based on the information provided by the restriction analyzer, the BamHI enzyme cuts at two different sites on genomic DNA (180 and 2865), producing large fragments that appeared as a smear in the gel electrophoresis images. HindIII was introduced to cut at an additional site (4130) on genomic DNA, increasing the likelihood that the fragment containing the rspL gene would be successfully incorporated into the plasmid.
In summary, the construction of a genomic library using E.coli Top10 genomic DNA and pUC19 plasmid DNA encountered several challenges throughout the experiment, including low DNA concentrations, contamination, and inefficient transformation. The introduction of the HindIII enzyme in addition to BamHI for restriction digestion was expected to increase the probability of obtaining a fragment containing the rspL gene. Further optimization of ligation and transformation protocols may be necessary to enhance the efficiency of the genomic library construction and subsequent functional selection of the streptomycin resistance-conferring rspL gene. Future experiments can also investigate alternative restriction enzymes, plasmid vectors, and competent cell strains to improve the overall success of the genomic library construction process.
I do not want step by step solution. Take the information from below and add it into the discussion itself mentioned above and do not use numbering format.
The second transformation attempt resulted in an unsuccessful transformation due to inefficient uptake of DNA by the host organism. This might have been caused by several factors, such as improper preparation of competent cells, issues concerning the ligation reaction, or the transformation protocol itself. Troubleshooting in each of these areas can be implemented to identify and rectify these challenges further:
1. Quality and efficiency of competent cells: Ensure that the competent cells used are in good condition, have high transformation efficiency, and have been stored properly. If required, prepare a new batch of competent cells or consider using commercially prepared competent cells with high transformation efficiency. Additionally, test the competency of the cells with a known plasmid to ensure that they are suitable for transformation.
2. Ligation reaction optimization: Re-evaluate the insert-to-vector ratio, incubation time, and temperature for the ligation reaction. The success of a ligation reaction depends on an optimal molar ratio of insert and vector DNA as well as the concentration and activity of the T4 ligase enzyme. Optimization of ligation conditions can help ensure that the recombinant plasmid is formed effectively.
3. Transformation protocol optimization: The transformation efficiency is highly dependent on the methods employed, such as the temperature and duration of the heat shock. Therefore, it might be necessary to test and optimize various transformation conditions, including different heat shock times or temperatures, to obtain the most efficient transformation.
4. Recovery period and medium: Ensuring a suitable recovery time for transformed cells before plating is essential, as it enables the cells to repair and express antibiotic resistance markers. Moreover, it is crucial to provide a nutrient-rich medium during recovery to promote cell growth and increase the chances of successful transformation.
5. Plating methods and conditions: Ensure that the transformed cells are plated on appropriate selective media with accurate antibiotic concentrations. This will ensure selective pressure for the host organism to uptake the ligation product containing the rspL gene. Additionally, ensuring that the transformation plates do not contain any contamination and have been spread evenly and allowed to solidify is important.
6. Use of positive and negative controls: Including positive and negative controls in each transformation experiment can help identify potential issues with the experiment, such as contamination or problems with the competent cells or recovery conditions. |

For this experiment, the most likely problem would be with transformation. It could be optimized and modified by making changes mentioned below:
a. Temperature and duration: Confirm that the heat shock conditions (e.g. 42°C for 30-45 seconds) are appropriate for your cells.
b. Recovery duration: Allow adequate time (usually 1 hour) for the cells to recover and express the antibiotic resistance marker.
c. Optimal antibiotic concentration: Ensure the appropriate concentration of streptomycin for selection is used on the plates. Too high or low of a concentration may result in inadequate selection.
Future experiments can investigate alternative restriction enzymes, plasmid vectors, and competent cell strains to improve the overall success of the genomic library construction process. Moreover, ensuring a suitable recovery time for transformed cells, providing a nutrient-rich medium during recovery, using appropriate plating methods and conditions, and including positive and negative controls in each transformation experiment will aid in enhancing the efficiency of the genomic library construction and subsequent functional selection of the streptomycin resistance-conferring rspL gene.

Background information
This portion of the lab section involved creating a genomic library using a streptomycin resistant strain of E.coli top10 (4537 bp) as the genomic DNA which will be incorporated into puc19 plasmid (2686 bp) vector as proposed earlier in PART B proposal document. To achieve this our pair (Jetul and Japneet) firstly isolated the DNA from genomic stain and plasmid using specific isolation kits included in method section. Followed by restriction enzyme digestion with suitable enzyme prior to ligation. The plan then included functional selection based on streptomycin resistance which will confirm successful insertion of rspL gene in the recipient E.coli strain Mach1, the competent cells used for transformation.
To achieve the proposed plan, E.coli strain top10 (4537 bp) served as the genomic strain that will be the source of streptomycin resistance rspL gene. The FastDigest HindIII (thermo scientific) digested fragment will be insert into a digested pUC19 plasmid vector (2686 bp) utilizing ligation process. Once ligated, the product will be transformed with Mach1 chemically competent cells (O.D. value = 0.77). To confirm the success of ligation the transformed product will be plated on ampillicin/X-gal/IPTG plates and the white colonies will then be streaked onto streptomycin plates to verify the rspl gene streptomycin resistance property.
As per the proposal, digesting the bacterial strains with similar digestion enzyme (HindIII) prior to ligation followed by transformation would have ideally given the genomic library however, throughout the project certain decisions were changed based on the results which will be thoroughly covered in this document along with the solutions taken to troubleshoot the mistakes.
Methods/Materials
Isolation of genomic DNA and plasmid DNA:
To start with the procedure of creating a genomic library from E.coli strain Top10 and plasmid pUC19, 5 mL genomic DNA (Top10) and 3 mL plasmid pUC19 was isolated using GeneJET genomic DNA purification kit (lot 01319594) and GeneJET plasmid Mini prep kit (lot 01218820) respectively. This task was completed in pair, genomic DNA isolated by Jetul and pUC19 by Japneet.
Concentration of both genomic and plasmid pUC19 were determined using SimpliNano which are summarized in the table below.
Table 1: Observed concentrations of isolated genomic material using SimpliNano.
Genomic material A260/A280 A260/A230 DNA Conc. (ng/µL)
Top10 1.988 1.644 33.2
pUC19 1.866 1.211 17.2
The above table summarizes the observed concentration data for isolated genomic material on Feb 21, 2023. The volume of sample loaded in SimpliNano was 2 µL for both DNA. Elution buffer(01177350 and 00991597) from both respective isolation kits were used as a blank on SimpliNano.
Restriction Enzyme Digestion:
As per part A proposal our group wanted to use HindIII enzyme of restriction enzyme digestion, but BamHI was used instead. This was changed because the aim was to check whether BamHI will show the same digestion or similar results with strainTop10 of E. coli as it was the case with K12 strain.
Both genomic DNA from Top10 and plasmid DNA of pUC19 were digested with BamHI enzyme in second week of this project (March 8, 2023) and the reagent volumes used are listed in the table given below.
Table 2: Reagents for restriction enzyme digestion of genomic material.
Digestion Reagents pUC19 Top10 (rspL gene)
Genetic material 2 µL 10 µL
Fast digest buffer 2 µL 2 µL
BamHI (Fast Digest Enzyme) 1 µL 1 µL
PCR Grade Water 30 µL 22 µL
Total Reaction volume 35 µL 35 µL
This table summarizes the reagent recipe used for first restriction enzyme digestion of genetic materials used to create the genomic library. The above listed both digestion reactions were incubated in 37 °C water bath for 30 minutes before heat inactivation at 80 °C for 10 minutes.
gel electrophoresis
This gel electrophoresis was performed on same day in order to confirm whether the digestion was successful or not and whether the isolated genomic DNA contains the rspL gene. To prepare this, 1% gel was prepared using 500 mg Agarose powder in 50 mL 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM for visualization.
1Kb DNA ladder was used as a standard with 6X loading dye. 10 µL of digested genomic was loaded into the gel. Gel was run for 20 minutes at 120V. When analyzed under UV light, there were no bands visible.
DNA clean-up:
Since gel electrophoresis results indicated no bands it was decided with the help of lab instructor to perform a DNA clean up for genomic to concentrate it more.
Originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA was cleaned up using “Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit” the following week ( March 14, 2023). A small change was introduced in original clean up protocol which stated “10 µL of Elution buffer” to elute which was updated to “15 µL of Elution Buffer”. Concentration of genomic DNA was checked on SimpliNano after clean up which came out to be significantly low ( 0.012 µg/ µL) as compared to earlier 33.2 ng/ µL. This indicated the DNA was lost in clean up process.
Table 3: Concentration of genomic DNA (Top10) analyzed on SimpliNano after DNA clean up.
Cleaned up genomic Top10 DNA
A260/A230 0.826
A260/A280 1.609
ng/ µL 12
The above table lists the concentration of originally isolated genomic DNA of strain Top10 after clean-up using Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit (LOT 2599306). Volume of sample loaded on SimpliNano was 2 µL and the blank used was the elution buffer(LOT 01307087) from the DNA clean up kit.
New isolated genomic Top10 DNA provided by Vanessa:
Since the whole genomic DNA was lost therefore another vial of isolated genomic was provided by lab instructor. The concentration of new genomic DNA was analyzed on SimpliNano which came out to be 28.1 ng/ µL with 1.598 (A260/A280) and 1.143 (A260/A230). This genomic DNA was then cleaned-up using the same clean up kit with same modification of 15 µL elution buffer. After clean up the concentration was checked on SimpliNano and is stated in table below.
Table 4: Concentration of new genomic Top10 DNA before and after clean-up.
Before clean up After clean up
A260/A280 1.598 1.794
A260/A230 1.143 2.188
ng/ µL 28.1 109.6
The above table summarizes the observed concentrations of new isolated genomic top10 DNA provided by Vanessa. These concentrations refer to the DNA before using GeneJET genomic DNA purification kit with its corresponding elution buffer as blank. Also after clean up using Thermo Scientific GeneJET Gel Extraction and DNA clean up kit (LOT 2599306). Volume of sample loaded on SimpliNano was 2 µL and the blank used was the elution buffer(LOT 01307087) from the DNA clean up kit.
New Digestion reaction set up with cleaned up genomic DNA:
The new digestion was performed using the cleaned up genomic DNA with higher concentration. The table summarizes the reaction reagents and volumes.
Table 5: The reaction reagents for restriction enzyme digestion of both genomic material.
pUC19 Top10 genomic DNA
Concentration 17.2 ng/ µL 109.6 ng/ µL
Genomic material 4 µL 5 µL
Fast Digest Buffer 2 µL 2 µL
Fast Digest Enzyme (BamHI) 1 µL 1 µL
PCR Grade water 28 µL 27 µL
Total reaction volume 35 µL 35 µL
The table gives the reaction volumes that were used to perform enzyme digestion of both genetic materials used in this project to construct a genomic library. Both reactions were incubated for half an hour in 37 °C water bath prior to heat inactivation at 80 °C for 10 minutes. The digestion reactions were then stored in ice bucket until gel electrophoresis apparatus was ready.
Another 1% gel electrophoresis:
Similar recipe of 1% gel electrophoresis was prepared that is 500 mg Agarose in 50 mL 1X TAE buffer along with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM for visualization. Same 1Kb DNA ladder was used as standard with 6X loading dye. This time since the concentration of newly cleaned genomic DNA was significantly high, only 5 µL of cut and uncut genomic along with cut plasmid with 6X loading dye was loaded.
6X loading dye sample calculation:
1/(6 )= x/(x+5)
x+5= 6x
5= 6x-x
5= 5x
x=1 µL , where x is the amount of loading dye added to the sample.
The 1% gel was shared with another group with ladder in the center followed by uncut genomic, cut genomic and cut plasmid from our samples. First half of the gel was utilized by Mahan’s group. The gel was run for about 20-25 minutes at 120 V and the results were first visualized under UV light and then under BIOrad software which will be added in result section.
Ligation with only one reaction:
This was decided to check if the ligation was successful or not which was performed the following week (March 21, 2023). To do so, a 1:1 ratio of cut plasmid pUC19 and cut genomic top10 (insert) was ligated using T4 ligase (vector) accompanied with the use of PEG4000.
The following table summarizes the reaction reagents and volumes.
Table 6: Ligation reaction set up for digested insert and vector using T4 ligase.
Reaction reagents Ligation ratio (1:1)
Insert (digested genomic top10 DNA) 3 µL
Vector (digested pUC19) 3 µL
T4 Ligase Buffer (5X) 5 µL
T4 Ligase 2 µL
PEG4000 2 µL
PCR Grade water 10 µL
Total reaction volume 25 µL
This ligation reagent recipe was used to ligate the insert and vector achieved from restriction enzyme digestion of genomic top10 and pUC19 with BamHI. This ligation reaction was incubated overnight at 4 °C and heat inactivated after 24 hours at 65 °C for 10 minutes. The ligated product was then stored at -20 °C until transformation.
Transformation with Mach 01 strain competent cells:
Transformation of the ligated product was performed the same week (March 24, 2023). To proceed with transformation, 4 vials of competent cells (50 µL each) were provided by Vanessa along with 4 agar plates.
Goal was to plate one positive control, one negative control for validation of results with one experimental in duplicates. Protocol of transformation was used to first thaw the competent cells on ice (about 20 minutes) followed by setting up controls and experimental.
Table 7 : Controls and experimental reaction set for transformation of ligated product.
Reaction Positive control Negative control Experimental
Reagents 50 µL competent cells + 10 µL pUC19 50 µL of competent cells 50
The transformation reactions were then incubated on ice for 30 minutes prior to heat shock at 42 °C for 30 seconds. The reactions were then placed on shaker for 1 hour until recovered. Meanwhile, when 30 minutes were left while cells were recovering, 4 agar plates were spread with 100 µL of 25 mg/mL Ampicillin, 40 µL of 20 mg/mL X-gal and 8 µL of 500 mM IPTG per plate respectively. After successive completion of 1 hour recovery of cells, one little change was introduced in which the cells were pelleted at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes. Instead of plating 200 µL onto plates, 150 µL was plated for each. This was done because in part A the positive control did not show TNTC which means.
Once solidified, all 4 plates were incubated at 35 ° C for 24 hours. Plates were retrieved from incubator the next day (March 25, 2023).
Results:
First gel electrophoresis.
Image 1: Picture of first 1% gel electrophoresis performed to confirm the presence of rspL gene after digestion of genomic DNA with BamHI
The above image was captured from UV light analysis of the 1% agarose gel prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM and 6X loading dye. The well labelled 1 was utilized for 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX), 5 µL loaded as standard whilst the well labelled 2 contains the digested genomic DNA (10 µL digested sample + 2 µL loading dye). The above gel electrophoresis was run at 120 V for 20 minutes. Genomic uncut was not loaded which was considered an error. Moreover, there were no bands at all and the problem was low concentration of genomic DNA.
It was noticed that since INtRON RedSafeTM requires at minimum 50 ng/ µL of the sample concentration to give any visualization detection effects, the above gel electrophoresis was unsuccessful. This is because the concentration of originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA was already quite low with 33.2 ng/ µL and while preparing the digestion reaction with total volume of 35 µL we used 10 µL of the genomic DNA which implies that our genomic was diluted. Not only this when we loaded 10 µL digested sample with 2 µL loading dye it further diluted. As per this, the concentration of loaded sample was 33.2 ng/ µL which is very less than 50 ng/ µL as per the RedSafeTM to work efficiently.
Calculations of digested sample concentration:
(33.2 ng / µL × 10 µL in digestion) / (10 µL while loading) = 33.2 ng/ µL
Hence, nothing was detected.
Furthermore, digested pUC19 plasmid and uncut genomic Top10 was not loaded and therefore nothing was there to compare which was a mistake.
This resulted in cleaning up the genomic DNA to get better concentration numbers and then perform digestion and gel electrophoresis for confirming the presence of rspL gene and action of BamHI. Another gel electrophoresis was performed with new genomic DNA provided by Vanessa followed by its clean up since the originally isolated genomic DNA was lost in clean up procedures.

The above image represents the picture captured of 1% gel electrophoresis run for 25 minutes at 120 V under UV light. This is the seconds gel that contained new digestion reaction containing the genomic DNA after clean up. The gel was prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM along with 6X loading dye used for sample preparations. Gel was shared with another group (Mahan’s) which is represented with the arrow head and samples in lane 1,2,3 belongs to other group. Well labelled 4 contained the 5 µL of 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX) , well 5 contained the uncut genomic Top10 (5 µL + 6X loading dye), well 6 contained cut genomic with BamHI((5 µL + 6X loading dye) and well 7 contains the cut plasmid with BamHI ((5 µL + 6X loading dye).

The above image represents the picture captured of agar plates after 24-hour incubation at 37 degrees Celsius. Each of the plates above contains 100 µL of 25 mg/mL Ampicillin, 40 µL of 20 mg/mL X-gal, and 8 µL of 500 mM IPTG. Negative control contains 50 µL of competent cells. Positive control contains 50 µL of competent cells and 5 µL of pUC19. Experiment plates are in duplicate and contains 50 µL of competent cells and 10 µL of ligated product. In the experiment cells were heat shocked for 30 seconds at 42 degrees Celsius. 500 µL of broth was added to cells as medium. Cells recovered at 37 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. After recovery, cells were spun down for 5 minutes at 5000 x g and 200 µL of it was thrown. 150 µL of cells were spread onto the plates using Pasteur pipette. Bunsen burner was used to maintain a sterile environment. The experiment failed since the positive control contains contamination (the big white colonies shown in the image are contamination).

Bunsen burner was used to maintain a sterile environment. The experiment was not successful due to plating issue. There is inefficient uptake of DNA by host organism which led to inefficient transformation that mean unsuccessful transformation.

The above image represents the picture captured of 1% gel electrophoresis run for around 45 minutes at 120 V under UV light. This is the third gel that contained a new digestion reaction containing the genomic DNA. The gel was prepared in 1X TAE buffer with 2.5 µL INtRON RedSafeTM along with 6X loading dye used for sample preparations. Well labelled 1 contained the 10 µL of 1Kb plus DNA ladder RTU (FroggoBI0- BIOHELIX), well labelled 2 contained the undigested genomic Top10 (10 µL + 6X loading dye), well labelled 3 contained digested genomic with BamHI and HindIII (10 µL + 6X loading dye), well labelled 4 contains the undigested plasmid (10 µL + 6X loading dye) and well labelled 5 contains the digested plasmid with BamHI and HindIII (10 µL + 6X loading dye).
Image 7: Information regarding the total length of the genomic Top 10 DNA using restriction analyzer
The above image provides information related to the total length of the genomic Top 10 DNA that is 4537 bp. The tool used for this was restriction analyzer. It also shows that BamHI cuts at 2 different sites on genomic DNA. The cutting positions are 180 and 2865. These sites give very big fragments that can be seen as smear in image 2.
This enzyme cuts at 662 on pUC19 and creates sticky ends. The total size of the plasmid is 2686 bp. If we incorporate this plasmid inside a host mentioned above, it gives a smear. There are also chances that host could not uptake the DNA containing rspL gene.

The above image provides information related to the total length of the genomic Top 10 DNA that is 4537 bp. The tool used for this was restriction analyzer. It also shows that BamHI cuts at 2 different sites on genomic DNA and HindIII cuts at 4130 site on genomic DNA. The cutting positions for BamHI are 180 and 2865 and for HindIII is 4130. We used HindIII to make sure that our fragment contains rspL gene.
Image 9: Information regarding the total length of the plasmid DNA using restriction analyzer
The above image provides information related to the pUC19 plasmid DNA that is 2686 bp long. The tool used for this was restriction analyzer. It also shows that BamHI cuts at 662 position on plasmid DNA and HindIII cuts at 632 positions. Since we are using two different enzymes, there is a better chance that our fragment contains rspL gene.
Discussion
The primary objective of this project was to create a genomic library using a streptomycin-resistant strain of E.coli Top10 (4537 bp) as the genomic DNA, incorporating it into a pUC19 plasmid (2686 bp) vector (Cirino et al., 2003). The successful construction of this genomic library was expected to confer streptomycin resistance to a recipient E.coli strain Mach1 through the functional selection of the rspL gene (Hanahan, 1983). However, throughout the experiment, several challenges were encountered, leading to changes in the experimental design and troubleshooting of errors.
An initial gel electrophoresis performed to confirm the presence of the rspL gene after digestion of genomic DNA with BamHI resulted in no visible bands. This was primarily due to the low concentration of the originally isolated genomic Top10 DNA (33.2 ng/µL), which was further diluted during the digestion reaction and loading of the gel (Inoue et al., 1990). This concentration was below the minimum detection limit required for the INtRON RedSafeTM nucleic acid stain to work efficiently (50 ng/µL). As a consequence, no bands were detected, and the experiment had to be repeated with a new and cleaned up genomic DNA sample.
Subsequent gel electrophoresis performed after digesting the cleaned-up genomic DNA with BamHI showed successful digestion of the genomic Top10 DNA, as evidenced by a shorter smear in comparison to the uncut band of the genomic DNA (Sorek et al., 2013). In addition, the plasmid pUC19 showed two very faint bands after digestion with BamHI, indicating appropriate digestion of the plasmid as well.
A ligation reaction was set up using a 1:1 ratio for cut genomic Top10 DNA (insert) and cut plasmid pUC19 (vector) (Chen & Dubnau, 2004). After overnight incubation at 4 °C, the ligated product was transformed into Mach1 chemically competent cells. The initial transformation results were inconclusive due to contamination observed in the positive control plate. Moreover, the second transformation attempt resulted in an unsuccessful transformation due to inefficient uptake of DNA by the host organism, which might have been caused by several factors, such as improper preparation of competent cells, issues concerning the ligation reaction, or the transformation protocol itself (Inoue et al., 1990).
To increase the likelihood of obtaining a fragment containing the rspL gene, a third gel electrophoresis was performed using HindIII in addition to BamHI for digesting both genomic Top10 DNA and plasmid pUC19 (Cirino et al., 2003). The use of two different enzymes would increase the accuracy of the construct and facilitate the incorporation of the desired fragment into the plasmid (Hanahan, 1983).
Based on the information provided by the restriction analyzer, the BamHI enzyme cuts at two different sites on genomic DNA (180 and 2865), producing large fragments that appeared as a smear in the gel electrophoresis images (Sorek et al., 2013). HindIII was introduced to cut at an additional site (4130) on genomic DNA, increasing the likelihood that the fragment containing the rspL gene would be successfully incorporated into the plasmid (Chen & Dubnau, 2004).
In summary, the construction of a genomic library using E.coli Top10 genomic DNA and pUC19 plasmid DNA encountered several challenges throughout the experiment, including low DNA concentrations, contamination, and inefficient transformation (Inoue et al., 1990). The introduction of the HindIII enzyme in addition to BamHI for restriction digestion was expected to increase the probability of obtaining a fragment containing the rspL gene (Cirino et al., 2003). Furthermore, troubleshooting in each area of competent cells preparation, ligation reaction, and transformation protocol can assist in identifying and rectifying these challenges, such as re-evaluating the insert-to-vector ratio, incubation time, and temperature for the ligation reaction or testing and optimizing various transformation conditions (Hanahan, 1983).
For this experiment, the most likely problem would be with transformation. It could be optimized and modified by making changes mentioned below:
a. Temperature and duration: Confirm that the heat shock conditions (e.g. 42°C for 30-45 seconds) are appropriate for your cells (Inoue et al., 1990).
b. Recovery duration: Allow adequate time (usually 1 hour) for the cells to recover and express the antibiotic resistance marker (Sorek et al., 2013).
c. Optimal antibiotic concentration: Ensure the appropriate concentration of streptomycin for selection is used on the plates. Too high or low of a concentration may result in inadequate selection (Chen & Dubnau, 2004).
Future experiments can investigate alternative restriction enzymes, plasmid vectors, and competent cell strains to improve the overall success of the genomic library construction process (Cirino et al., 2003). Moreover, ensuring a suitable recovery time for transformed cells, providing a nutrient-rich medium during recovery, using appropriate plating methods and conditions, and including positive and negative controls in each transformation experiment will aid in enhancing the efficiency of the genomic library construction and subsequent functional selection of the streptomycin resistance-conferring rspL gene (Hanahan, 1983).

Rephrase the text
The text under analysis is an extract from a novel “Ragtime” be E. L. Doctorow, a well
-
known American writer who is also famous for his other novels which include “Welcome toHard Times” and “The Book of Daniel” nominated
for a National Book Award.The events of the story take place in New Rochelle, NY, where white people live. Thestory starts with a young black man coming up on a new T-Ford to one of the houses where NewRochelle family lives. The man whose name is Coalhouse Walker Jr. is looking for a young black woman Sarah who is given a shelter by the New Rochelle family. The Mother of the
family lets him in but Sarah doesn’t want to see Coalhouse Walker so he has to go away. While
waiting for Sarah he sees a little black baby in a carriage and understands him to be his son.
Coalhouse Walker visits them every weekend but Sarah doesn’t come down from the attic where
she lives. When the Mother understands him to be a respectful and rich man she decides to invitehim for tea. The author gives a detailed description of the way they serve him tea. The familyasks Coalhouse Walker to play on the piano and he plays ragtime music so perfectly that eventhe whole family comes down to the parlor to look at him. Coalhouse Walker sees all members
of the family but he doesn’t see Sarah. Then the Father asks him whether he knows some of coon
songs which seem for Coalhouse Walker of a lower degree. All these facts seem to be unpleasantto him and he abruptly leaves the family.The main character of the story is Coalhouse Walker Jr. His character is round and static.He is stable throughout the extract. He comes to visit Sarah every weekend in spite of the factthat Sarah refuses to see him. That proves him to be stubborn and persistent. The author usesindirect method of characterization; E. L. Doctorow just gives clues about what kind of personCoalhouse Walker is through his words, actions and reaction of the other characters to him. Theauthor just tells us about that Coalhouse Walker is a black pianist. Coalhouse Walker comes tothe New Rochelle family on a new T-Ford. That time it was unusual for a black man to havesuch an expensive car so that proves him to be quite prosperous man. The way he speaks to theMother is respectful and
“disturbingly resolute”: he seems to be a self
-important person. It is notdifficult to understand that Sarah is his girl-friend and that the reason of his visits is the desire to
make Sarah forgive and return to him. It shows him to be a “one
-
woman ” man.
The author alsocomments on the way Coalhouse Walker comes to the New Rochelle family. He comes there
“always knocking at the black door”. That proves him to be a respectful man and that heconducts him as a gentleman as that time the neighbours wouldn’t
approve so frequent visits of a Negro. Coalhouse Walker is also asked to play the piano. He feels nervous as the author givesdetailed comments on the way he rises, places the napkin, goes on the piano, twirls the pianostool and tunes the piano. Coalhouse Walker is also shown as a proud man as he thinks him to beself-
made. The Father’s question about his knowledge in coon songs makes him aggrieved.
As for Sarah. She is a minor character. She is a dynamic character as in the beginning ofthe extract she do
esn’t want to see Coalhouse Walker, later while listening to their conversation
in the parlor and listening to his playing ragtime she makes an attempt to see him, she opens thedoor but she is too proud to go down. Moreover Sarah is an introverted person
as she doesn’t tellanyone in the New Rochelle family about her problems, the family have no idea of Sarah’s past.
It is natural that she is insecure because she has a child, has no money, her heart is broken andshe lives in an unknown family with no friends around her.Another main character of the extract is the New Rochelle family. Their characters aredynamic: in the beginning their attitude to Coalhouse Walker is indifferent even it seems thatthey are not so glad to see him in their house so often. But later their attitude changes completelyso they even invite Coalhouse Walker for a cup of tea. It is unusual for them to do that becausethey are prosperous aristocratic family and Coalhouse Walker has seemed for them to be just a black pianist. But the Mother of the family who turns out to be a very wise and kind woman
finds it to be important. She wants to help that two young black man and woman. She insists on
serving Coalhouse Walker tea while the Father “questions the propriety of this.” The Mother
manages to persuade the Father mentioning that Mr. Roosevelt gave dinner to Booker T.Washington in White House. That makes the Father feel as if he is as important person as Mr.
Roosevelt and he likes this idea that even he doesn’t notice that it has been
the Mother who hassuggested that. It proves the Mother to be a cunning person. The New Rochelle family is a kind
and courageous family. They don’t think about neighbour’s reaction to the fact that a black
woman with a baby is given a shelter in their house and that a black man comes to them everyweekend.The author uses the third-
person narrator, which means that the narrator doesn’t
participate in the story, he is a reporter of actions and speeches. The story belongs to historicalfiction literary trend. Historical fiction tells a story that is set in the past. That setting is usuallyreal and drawn from history, and often contains actual historical persons, but the main charactersare fictional. In the extract the characters mention such famous people as Theodore Roosevelt,Booker T. Washington and Scott Joplin.The story is written in simple language. The author uses common literary words so thetext is easy
to read. In the beginning of the story the author doesn’t call Coalhouse Walker byname, E. L. Doctorow writes just a pronoun “he”. That creates the feeling of alienation. Whiledescribing Coalhouse Walker’s first appearance the author uses retardation. H
e describes the less
important part of the message such as “
looking right and left as if trying to find a particularaddress; he turned the car around at the corner and came back. Pulling up before the boy, heidled his throttle and beckoned with a gloved hand.
”
The main part is at the end of the paragraph,so the reader is kept is suspense. Only after his description of his movements we know that he is
looking for a young woman. The author also uses the repetition “always” while telling about
Coalhouse Wal
ker’s visits to underline his persistence. Coalhouse Walker’s great ability to playthe piano is shown through the similes “small clear chords hung in the air like flowers. Themelodies were like bouquets.” The metaphor “there seemed to be no other possibi
lities for life
than those delineated by the music” underlines his skill. Epithets “thumping, robust, vigorous,intricate” prove that Coalhouse Walker plays that moment with great feeling and emotions.
The syntactical pattern is not very difficult. The aut
hor doesn’t use direct speech in ordernot to distract the reader’s attention and to make him read at one breath.
The subject of the extract is social changes, social situation of the beginning of the 20thcentury, racial relation. As for the conflict, it is the conflict between generation, betweenAmericans of different social groups. After analyzing the text it becomes clear that the main idea
is that people shouldn’t give up. Our life is full of unexpected events and it may abruptly change
and in any case we should be strong and brave. I think that Coalhouse Walker is a real hero of
that time, he managed to become rich and prosperous pianist, it doesn’t matter for him so much
that he is black. Developing his skills is much more important thing in his life. And he also
doesn’t give up trying to make Sarah forgive him for having left her. For me such people as
Coalhouse Walker are really worth being respected.

coorect the following paragraph: Since the map matching based localization by using 3D LiDAR is very popular, a localization method by using global tree map based on Delaunay triangulation (DT) method
in the forest environment has been proposed in [34]. This algorithm includes offline and online parts. The offline part uses the K-Dimensional Tree and Euclidean cluster to find major landmarks in the forest. The online part includes the implementation of DT technique to match the information obtained by the LiDAR with the generated landmark information to realize the localization. The advantage of this
algorithm is that it can achieve precise localization of the robot in a complex geographical environment such as the forest, and the intervention of the external environment has a small effect on its process. However, the accuracy is about 2 m, and the availability cannot be guaranteed when there is no landmark.
In order to further improve the availability and accuracy of localization algorithms in mountainous rural environment, a vehicle localization algorithm exploiting multi-layer LiDAR is proposed in [35]. A 3D normal distribution map is built at first, and then they use the normal distribution transform (NDT) scan matching method to realize the localization. In addition, the EKF is employed to fuse the NDT information and the dead reckoning (DR) information. The average absolute error of longitudinal and lateral are 0.38 m and 0.08 m with the average velocity 45 km/h, respectively. However, it is not
reliable enough for autonomous driving because it may cause the traffic accident during demonstrations |

Implement a Piet interpreter. Technically, Piet is a stack-based language and can be visualized as a stripped-down version of Forth that uses colour transitions for words and maintains two internal variables DP and CC. It adds two words (switch and pointer) for DP/CC manipulation and one (roll) for stack rolling. That’s it! The hard part is obviously reading the images and calculating the transitions, but even that should be a piece of cake with the help of the libraries.
Write a Piet program that prints your name and surname

Do a detailed retelling of the text in 1500 words.
The text taken under the analysis is headlined “Growing up with the media”. It is written by P. G. Aldrich. Unfortunately, there is no information about the author but it is known that the essay was published in “The Guardian”, British daily newspaper. The author tells us about influence social media has on us and how enormous this impact is.
In my opinion, the theme of the text can be formulated as “Media as an integral and big part of our life”. I think that the author wants to make the readers understand and realize that we should reconsider our attitude towards the media and try to be more critical to the information we perceive. That is the idea of this essay. Intentions of social media are not always good, it can make us buy different products we do not really need, believe in things that actually sound like absolute nonsense and generally it can make us “dull-witted”, “credulous”, “uncritical” and “passive”. The author asks for our attention, he wants to convey his view on mass media and to tell people how harmful the misuse of that can be.
The author tells us how totally mass media has got in our lives, while people tend not to pay much attention to it. He tells about different kinds of social media thus everyone understands that at least one of them is used everyday even in out-of-the-way parts of our world. He proves his opinion by presenting different facts, statistics, asking us direct questions. He persuades us easily because the problem he raises is in fact very important but adults do not notice or do not want to notice the harmfulness of their addiction. Harmfulness not only for them but also for their relatives, children and surroundings in general.
The genre of this text is essay, or rather an article. The story is completely based on personal opinion, supported by facts. The author observes daily life, common and significant problems, gives his own arguments, trying to influence people’s attitude towards them. Besides his own arguments, Aldrich also presents a statistical data to prove his words and persuade the readers (“An experiment recently conducted in Europe by the Society of Rational Psychology showed that watching television is psychologically addictive”; “…more than a third of all children by the age of three are viewing TV with some regularity and more than a half are listening to books read to them. Before they are old enough for school – a third of the children are looking through magazines, 40 % are listening to radio, and 80 % are viewing television. At age seven, newspapers enter a child’s life, usually through the comic strips”).
The text begins with open questions the author states to the audience. They immediately catch our attention, forcing us to read further in order to find out what the author wanted to say by asking such questions. Answers of the audience are predictable so Aldrich continues his story telling us about place social media takes in our lives. To make his article clearer and to avoid different misunderstandings he gives his own definitions of media and medium and tells us about different kinds of it. Next, the author becomes more straightforward and he dwells into the advantages and disadvantages of mass media. He encourages us be more “critical”, “well-informed” and “active”. He speaks about media’s influence on different aspects of our being: emotions, psychological state, language, intellect, ideas etc. He persuades the readers that different newspapers, magazines, pamphlets are always written, designed, stated in such way that they can easily catch our attention, influence our opinion, force us to do something.
The article was written approximately in the beginning of XXI century, because the author tells about radio, television, films of all kinds that came into our lives less than hundred years ago (“The electronic media – radio, television, films of all kinds, records, tapes, anything that is transmitted by the use of electricity – are less than a hundred years old”). Actually, even nowadays it is still less than hundred ago the technical devices were totally implemented in our lives especially if to talk about computers and telephones, which emerged only 1970s. Aldrich speaks about all the people around the world, but according to the fact that the author relies on European research (“an experiment recently conducted in Europe by the Society for Rational Psychology showed that watching television is psychologically addictive”), the audience the writer addresses mainly to the people, who live in the countries of the European Union(till the 2016 the United Kingdom was also the part of the EU).
The essay can be divided into two parts: the exposition is formed by the author’s leading questions that look together like a test, and the story itself that takes all the rest of the text. In my opinion, there is no climax, because the text is not artistic, and there is no denouement, the author just ends his story without any conclusion. He gives us facts, his own point of view and leave us think it over on our own.
The story is written in the first form of narration. It is narration with descriptions and subtle hints on a dialogue because the questions the author asks mean that he wants to involve the readers to the conversation.
The things of importance in this text are all the things concerning mass media. Reading this we realize how much space they actually occupy in our lives: TV cartoons, a newspaper, a magazine, a television commercial, TV series, a movie, a record, radio, mass media, books, pamphlets, catalogues, circulars, brochures, films, tapes, comics, comic strips, teevee, television, TV, telly, stand up, TV drama, article, advertisement. There are also several realities used to make readers perceive the information more clearly and to make them feel themselves as a part of a mass: Captain Kangaroo (American children’s morning television program), Mickey Mouse (a funny animal cartoon character) and the Society for Rational Psychology mentioned to persuade the readers by presenting the evidence from credible resource. Emotional atmosphere of the narration is neutral but still there are both negatively colored (dull-witted, ill-informed, vicious, tawdry, harmful, superficial etc.) and positively colored words (friendly, altruistic, having fun, enjoy, positive aspects etc.). It makes the argumentation sound more objective as we see both bad and good sides.
The author uses neutral words to make the text understandable for the majority of the audience. Aldrich uses such colloquial words as “teevee”, “telly”, “mike”. Still there are some medical terms and bookish words (sophisticated, isolation, psychologically addictive, brainwashing, conglomerate etc.). Most of the sentences are long but easy to read. Aldrich uses inversion (“With all this you also absorb ideas about behavior”) in order to emphasize the media itself and its great influence. The author often uses rhetorical questions to involve the readers into the conversation: “What do you remember most about your childhood…?”; “What did you and your friends talk about, at least part of the time, before class…?”; “Or are the mass of people well-informed, sophisticated, thoughtful and active?’; “Is this good or bad?”, “And what did you absorb?” etc.). In the essay there are also antonyms used to show the contrast and to make the difference more clear, to force the readers think the information over: “…a phrase too often associated with adjectives like dull-witted, credulous, ill-informed, uncritical, and passive/ or are the mass of people well-informed, sophisticated, thoughtful, and active?”; “…brainwashing that could be friendly or vicious, altruistic or self-serving”; “…about right and wrong, good and bad, the permissible and the forbidden”.
There are different thematic nets that make the text more highly specialized:
thematic net of technique (cars, electricity, telephones, radio, television);
thematic net of mass media (TV, TV cartoons, comics, magazine, commercial, newspaper, TV series, movie, mass media, media, medium, recordings, books, pamphlets, catalogues, circulars, brochures, records, tapes, comic strips, stand-up”);
thematic net of professions (reporter, film editor, copy editor, script writer, continuity writer).
To make the description more vivid and quite subjective the author uses such stylistic devices as epithets (powerful ideas, psychological depths, vicious/friendly/altruistic brainwashing, etc.), metaphors (emotionally digested, builds other people’s power, pick them up through your pores), simile (as though people were puppets on strings”. There are also some examples of periphrasis in ironical aims: “global village”, “would-be-jokes”. There is a catch repetition used to emphasize the subject discussed: “The mass audience of mass media – are then programmed to buy, vote, contribute, believe, and supports other people’s interests, interests which may be commercial, political, charitable, philosophical, or educational”. This last sentence is also an example of enumeration often used in this essay: “newspapers, magazines, books, pamphlets, catalogues, circulars, brochures, anything you read…”. Enumeration is often followed by parallel constructions: “…about right and wrong, good and bad, the permissible and the forbidden”, “It changes our language, stimulates our emotions, informs our intellect, influences our ideas, values and attitudes”. Sometimes the author uses asyndeton to make the narration look like endless flow, to make us read it without stop: “When the material is written, staged, photographed with or without audio, printed”. The author also uses graphon to catch our attention and to make us focus on important things: italics (“If the use of them referring to media <…> the word media linguistically is plural”) and capitalization (“Another meaning of the word mass suggests is ‘the people’…”; “The MAJORITY of material is chosen or designed to produce a predetermined response”).
Although the text was written more than ten years ago, it is still topical nowadays. Even though television and radio have taken second place, giving way to the internet, computers and telephones, the problem of our attitude towards all these technical devices has not changed. We are still addicted to it, we are still uncritical, quite credulous and passive. The majority of us are easily swayed by the commercials and by these beautiful faces from circulars that encourage us to buy necessary things and to pay for entertainment we do not need. The author urges us to be more thoughtful, active and well-informed. By giving the statistic data he makes his words more convincing. In my opinion, this essay is very constructive and well formulated and if the aim of the writer is to make us think about the problem he raises, - Aldrich managed to do it. |

Introduction (Program Functionality Description)
This week you are going to write a single recursive function m-file to perform Gauss Elimination with partial pivoting on a system of linear algebraic equations. Your function will be passed (through the header) a square [A] matrix and a matching [b] column vector. Your function will return the [x] solution vector to the matrix equations [A][x] = [b].
Deliverables
You will upload to Canvas a single file, titled LastNameFirstInit_Lab7.m, containing the results of Task #1, below.
Introduction to Recursion
Recursion is a programming concept in which a function, when asked to perform process A on system Q, rather than performing process A on system Q, instead
1) performs process B (a subset of process A) on system Q, resulting in a system that looks like Q, but may be “smaller” or “simpler” is some manner (let’s call this system R),
2) launches a new instance of itself, asking the new instance to perform process A on the new system R,
3) waits,
4) receives from the new instance the results of process A performed on system R,
5) performs process C (a different subset of process A), which uses the results it received from the new instance, along with it’s own remains of system Q, n what it receives from the new instance.
The result of this extended process must be equivalent to performing process A on the original system Q (which is what it was asked to do). There are a couple important facets missing from the above description – they will be dealt with later.
Terminology
When a function launches a new instance of itself, it is often referred to as spawning. Thus, the spawned instance is called the child, and the spawner is called the parent. An instance can be both a child and a parent at the same time.
When a parent sends information to its child, I refer to it as “passing down” the information.
When a child sends information to its parent, I refer to it as “passing back” or “passing up” the
information.
Multiple instances of a single program?
It may seem outrageous to have multiple instances of a single program running, but consider the following. Imagine your currently-running function .m-file needs to execute the line of code:
y = cos(0.75)
When MATLAB gets to this line of code, it knows to go the hard drive, find the file named cos.m, launch a processor-based copy of the file, and send to it the value 0.75. While the new program runs, your function is still running, waiting patiently for the results to be returned to it. Now, imagine that your currently running function (KahunaB_Lab7.m) needs to execute the line of code:
x = KahunaB_Lab7(A,b)
MATLAB will go to the hard drive, find the file named KahunaB_Lab7.m, spawn (launch) a new processor-based instance (copy) of the file, and pass to it the values in data structure A and the data structure b. The current instance of the function (the parent) is unaffected – it itself is merely an earlier-spawned, processor-based instance of the actual file on the hard drive. The current instance behaves the same as if it had called the cos built-in function. It waits patiently for the results to be returned. No data structures in the parent instance are affected – remember, the new instance is operating in its own little variable workspace, just as the function cos was when it was running. Keep in mind, it is possible that the “current” instance of KahunaB_Lab7 was actually spawned by a previously running instance of KahunaB_Lab7. It is also possible that the “new” instance of KahunaB_lab6 will spawn yet another instance of KahunaB_Lab7.
Important to grasp recursion concepts
There are several concepts to recursive programming that may take some time to get used to, so you may as well start on them now:
1. There can be multiple instances of one function running at the same time. All but the most recently-spawned instance is waiting patiently for its child to return a solution to its question (just as, earlier in the lab session, many of you were waiting impatiently for your “child” classmate to return the factors of the number handed to him/her).
2. The multiple instances exist in a parent-child-grandchild-greatgrandchild, etc. hierarchy.
3. Each instance is aware only of what it was given by its parent and what it gets back from its child. I repeat, each instance has NO KNOWLEDGE of its parent’s variable workspace.
4. Each instance has its own copy of any variables, so changing a variable in one instance has no effect on any other instance’s variables, and
5. The data structure one instance refers to as ‘x’ may be a completely different data structure than what any other instance refers to as ‘x’. This one’s a biggie.
Critical aspects of a recursive function
During the in-class exercise, we saw that a recursive function’s behavior is different if it is the terminal (last) instance, vs. if it is a non-terminal instance. However, we must remember that there is only one version of the code. This implies that our function will need to include branching – one block of code that is performed if the instance is the terminal instance, and another block of code that is performed if the instance is non-terminal. This branching further implies another facet of the code. How does an instance know if it is the terminal instance? In total, there are five critical components of any recursive function. They are:
1. Code needed to identify whether or not this is the terminal instance
2. What the code must do if this is the terminal instance
3. If the instance is non-terminal, then
4. what the code must to in order to identify the smaller or simpler system that it will pass to its child,
5. the pawning of the child, and
6. what the non-terminal instance does with the results it got back from its child, in order to complete the solution of the problem it was given by its parent
Part 2 and Part 3 will be contained within an if-else statement, i.e. if this instance is terminal do Part 2, else do Part 3.
Inherent in part 3)a. What does it do on the way down? is the question, what does a “smaller” system look like. This is a good starting point of the recursive programming process.
In the next section you can find code that recursively performs the in-class exercise. It explains the structure and components of a recursive process.
Rough Outline of Function Script
Having performed Gauss Elimination with partial pivoting for the HW, you are hopefully familiar with the process. There are four important steps to recursion:
• Identify what a “smaller” system looks like
I discussed this in the lecture on Gauss Elimination. If you don’t remember, go through the posted example, and see if you can figure it out.
• Identify the process to reach the smaller system
This was also discussed in lecture. One part that we haven’t discussed yet is the importance of identifying the format of the information passed down to the child instance. It must be in the same format as the information that was passed into the current instance from its parent.
• Identify when to stop
What is the condition that causes this iteration to not perform row operations?
Identify the upward propagation process
This is interesting for Gauss Elimination. There are essentially three substeps:
• identify what information the current instance gets back from its child, in the reference frame of the current instance (as opposed to what it is in the reference frame of the child)
• identify what information the parent of the current instance is expecting to get back from the current instance, again in the reference frame of the current instance
• create the latter information, probably using or including the former information
Write the Outline
You are not required to write an outline, but it is probably a good idea. If you come to me or the TA’s later with questions or code that imply that you don’t really get the process of what’s going on, we will probably request you to write an RPO.
Once you have decided how you are going to handle the concerns above, it is time to write your RPO. Remember that your RPO must include an accurate representation of all loops and branching.
Task #1
Write a recursive function to solve a system of linear algebraic equations using Gauss Elimination with partial pivoting. Your function will be passed a square [A] matrix and a corresponding (same number of rows) [b] column vector. Your function should return to its calling program the answer to the matrix equation [A][x] = [b].
Your function should also perform the minimum amount of work both a) in identifying the system to pass to its child, and b) in processing the answer it receives from its child to identify the answer it must pass back to its parent.
Some Hints for Your Script (LastNameFirstInit_Lab7.m)
a) To refer to the portion of matrix A from a13 to a45, the syntax is A(1:4, 3:5)
b) To refer to the entire 3rd column of matrix A, use A(:, 3)
c) The above syntax can be on the right hand side of an assignment statement to retrieve the values from the matrix, or on the left hand side to store values into the matrix.
Function Output
Your program will produce no output to the screen. It must return to its parent the solution to the matrix equation [A][x] = [b].
Code for Finding the Prime Factors of a Number Recursively
1 % We always start with our function header. We are passed
2 % in a single number.
3 function factors = recursive_factorize(prod)
4
5 % I usually start with the terminal instance. According to
6 % the algorithm we used in class, if the function receives a
7 % one (1) through the header, then it is the terminal
8 % instance, and it returns a null matrix.
9 if prod == 1
10 factors = []
11
12 % Note that the entire rest of this program is in the
13 % ‘else’ portion of this if-else statement. So if prod = 1,
14 % the null array is immediately returned to the parent
15
16 else
15 % The first factor we check for is 2.
16 fac = 2
17
18 % We keep going until we find a factor, so I’m going to
19 % use a while loop. To ensure we get into that while
20 % loop I’m going to use a gateway variable.
21 found = 0;
22 while ~found
23 if mod(prod,fac) == 0
22 % This is what we do if identify a “smaller
23 % system” to pass to our child
24 prod = prod / fac
25
26 % The function is recursive. This instance waits
27 % here for the child to respond.
28 factors = recursive_factorize(prod)
29
30 % This is what we do to convert our child’s
31 % response into the response we will pass back to
32 % our parent.
