Due to the epidemic, we were unable to return to school for experimental verification. The following are the
experimental steps we have sorted out through literature research.
</p>
<article class="article">
<h1>1 Preparation of phage genome</h1>
<p>
The phage T4 obtained from plaques was heated at 100 °C for 10 min and then cooled down to 8 °C. The
inactivated phage T4, which was provided by Prof. Song Gao at Jiangsu Ocean University, was stored at -20 °C
and used directly as the template for PCR.

<h1>2 DNA agarose gel electrophoresis</h1>
<h2>2.1 Equipment</h2>
<p>
Horizontal electrophoresis tank, electrophoresis apparatus, gel mold and comb (Liuyi, Beijing), microwave
(Midea, China), laboratory bottles (250 mL), UVCI-1100 Gel Imaging system (Major Science, US)
</p>
<h2>2.2 Regents</h2>
<p>
Agarose (Sangon, Shanghai), Ethidium bromide (stock concentration of 10 mg/mL, Thermo Fisher, US), 50× TAE
Buffer (Thermo Fisher, US), DNA Ladder (0.2-12 kb, 12 bands), (Beyotime, Shanghai)
</p>
<h2>2.3 Procedures</h2>
<p>1) Measure 1 g agarose.</p>
<p>2) Take 20 mL of 5×TAE solution, add water and dilute to 1 L.</p>
<p>3) Mix agarose powder with 100 mL 1×TAE in a flask and microwave it for 1-3 min until the agarose is
completely dissolved.</p>
<p>4) Let agarose solution cool down to about 50 °C, about 5 min.</p>
<p>5) Add EtBr to a final concentration of approximately 0.2–0.5 μg/mL.</p>
<p>6) Pour the agarose into a gel tray with the well comb in place.</p>
<p>7) Place newly poured gel at 4 °C for 10-15 min OR let sit at room temperature for 20-30 min, until it has
completely solidified.</p>
<p>8) Add loading buffer to each of the DNA samples.</p>
<p>9) Once solidified, place the agarose gel into the gel box.</p>
<p>10) Fill gel box with 1x TAE until the gel is covered.</p>
<p>11) Carefully load a molecular weight ladder into the first lane of the gel.</p>
<p>12) Carefully load your samples into the additional wells of the gel.</p>
<p>13) Run the gel at 80–150 V until the dye line is approximately 75-80% of the way down the gel. A typical run
time is about 1–1.5 hours, depending on the gel concentration and voltage.</p>
<p>14) Turn OFF the power, disconnect the electrodes from the power source, and then carefully remove the gel
from the gel box.</p>
<p>15) Visualize the gel by the UVCI-1100 Gel Imaging system, analyze the size of DNA fragments by comparing
them with bands of the DNA ladder.</p>

<h1>3 DNA Gel purification</h1>
<h2>3.1 Equipment</h2>
<p>
Microcentrifuge (Thermo Fisher, US), thermostat water bath (Kuansons, China)
</p>
<h2>3.2 Regents</h2>
<p>
DNA agarose Gel, SanPrep Column DNA Gel Extraction Kit (Sangon, China)
</p>
<h2>3.3 Procedures</h2>
<p>
1) Cut the gel block containing the target fragment from the agarose gel and weigh it.
</p>
<p>
2) Add 3–6 volumes Buffer B2 to 1 volume of gel block (100 mg gel ~100 μL), and incubate in a water bath at
50 °C for 5-10 min.
</p>
<p>
3) Transfer the solution to the adsorption column and centrifuge at 8, 000 × g for 30 s, pour out the liquid
in the collection tube.
</p>
<p>
4) Add 500 μL Wash Solution and centrifuge at 9, 000 × g for 30s. Pour out the liquid in the collection
tube.
</p>
<p>
5) Repeat step 4.
</p>
<p>
6) Centrifuge the empty adsorption column at 9, 000 × g for 1 min.
</p>
<p>
7) Put the adsorption column into a clean 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 40 μL Elution Buffer to the center of
the adsorption membrane, leave it at room temperature for 1 min, and centrifuge for 1 min. Preserve the DNA
solution in the tube.
