Long Term Goals

miRNA Profile

  •  Read literature
  •  Choose profile

Building the Cell Detector Circuit

  •  Build mathematical model
  •  Make test bed
    •  Controlled miRNA expression
    •  Constructed miRNA sensors

Mini experiments

    •  Single miRNA detector circuit

Alzheimer's Model

  •  Agree on a team wide, full Alzheimer's model

Today's Agenda

How To Please Ron/Brain

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Obtain Plasmids
    •  pEXPR: hEF1a-GAL4VP16
    •  pENTR: TRE (promoter)
    •  pEXPR: TAL14-mKate
  •  Troubleshoot
    •  So where are the siRNA though... (keep looking around, they were ordered)
    •  Why didn't the GH golden gate work on try #3?
      •  Retransform products at higher concentration
  •  Fill out the Genewiz Order Form to sequence Low Sensor miR-144
  •  Design primers to sequence high sensors
  •  Ask Jeremy about sequencing primers
  •  Look into siRNA transfection

miRNA Sensors (Lab Work)

  •  TOP PRIORITY: SEQUENCE LOW SENSORS (can't be done till primers arrive)
  •  Pick colonies
    •  pEXPR: TAL14-mKate
  •  LR
    •  pEXPR: MAV1212-TRE-L7ae
  •  Transfection
    •  L7ae experiment
  •  Golden Gate
    •  High Sensor miR-30d (I13 & J13)
    •  High Sensor miR-146a (I5 & J5)
    •  High Sensor let-7f (1.13 & 1.14)
    •  High Sensor miR-125b (A3 & B3)
    •  Combined Low Sensor miR-144-miR-181c
      •  Get ultramers from Brian
  •  Anneal target sites
    •  All high sensors
  •  Transformation
    •  Re-do Low Sensor miR-181c
  •  Midiprep
    •  pEXPR: TAL14-mKate
