I might have gotten it

I don't have access to the program to check if I got it, and I don't remember the exact sequence of amino acids I was trying to delete, but one of my results from DNA sequencing is 18 nucleotides shorter than the others, and that corresponds to 6 amino acids.

The sequence was K-T-X-X-X-W, but I don't remember what the X-X-X were, LOL.

So I have to wait until Monday to find out if my week's worth of work actually paid off.

ETA Whee! It did in fact work. Dh and I went into Seattle to Julefest at the National Nordic Museum, and since we changed buses right in front of my work, we ended up going in on the way back and I checked the results to confirm the deletion and started the overnight culture. This should have been a matter of a few minutes but 1) we stopped at the hospy cafeteria first to get dh some food and 2) I wanted to show him my cells and when I looked at them, they were unexpectedly out of room, grr. So I had to passage them and the whole stop at work for 15 minutes ended up more like a stop at work for an hour and a bit. But having done that, hopefully I can take off early on Wednesday.
