You're Incompetent!

Oh my cells...

We've been trying to transform bacteria in order to determine some genes, except none of the transformations are working.

So today I started a test to see if these cells are even competent. For those who don't know, competence is the ability of bacteria to take in foreign DNA. I tested the strain we've been using, a newer stock of this strain, and another strain that we know to be competent.

Man I hope I find something.

Sorry I haven't written anything in a while.
