50 ng of each piece of DNA being joined
(Use nanodrop to find concentration in ng/ul, then divide 50 by that concentration to find the required volume of DNA:
Conc: x ng/uL
Vol: 50/x uL)
NOTE: If GGDonr is too concentrated, dilute it with EB or water.
NOTE: Ligase buffer does not like to be freeze-thawed, so use one-time-use aliquots.
x1 uL of DNA1

2ul 10X T4 Ligase Buffer
2ul 10X BSA
1ul BsaI (enzyme) HC (high concentration)
