For my cloning experiment, I first ligated my insert (1.5 kb) with linearized vector (2.9 kb ) that is provided with instaclone PCR cloning kit. After plating, I randomly selected 5 colonies from plate and isolated and cut with EcoRI. After digestion I loaded 5 of my samples to gel and check them (My insert has EcoRI site). After digestion with EcoRI, I was expecting two bands, one is 2.9 kb vector and the other one is 1.5 kb my insert but I got two strange bands. The ladder I used was 10 kb ladder and as it can be seen in the picture one band (same for 5 sample ) is located at the position of 6 kb and the others are located above the position of 10 kb. Do you have any idea what can be the reason (Incubation time of digestion was 1 hour 10 minutes).
