* Next prepare the insert by annealing and phosphorylating the primers in a PCR tube:
** ADD ANNEALING INFO
** 1 uL of a 100 uM stock of each oligo with 4.5 uL of water
** Run on ANNEALING CYCLE
** 2.5 uL of ligase buffer
** Phosphorylate the primers by adding:
** 1 uL of T4 PNK
*** X uL of ligase buffer
** Incubate at 37C for 30 mins then 95C for 5 mins to heat inactivate PNK then ramp down to 25C at 5C/min to allow the oligos to anneal
*** 1 uL of T4 PNK
