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)

  •  Troubleshoot
    •  Why didn't the oligos nanodrop??
    •  Why didn't the primers bind to LS_miR_144?

miRNA Sensors (Lab Work)

  •  Golden Gate
    •  Low Sensor miR-144-miR-181c
  •  Transform
    •  High Sensor miR-30d
    •  High Sensor miR-146a
    •  High Sensor let-7f
    •  High Sensor miR-125b
    •  Low Sensor miR-144
    •  Low Sensor miR-181c
  •  Pick colonies to miniprep and midiprep
    •  pEXPR: MAV1212-TRE-L7ae (LR)
    •  pEXPR: MAV1212-hEF1a-GAL4VP16 (LR)
    •  pEXPR: MAV1212-TRE-GAL4VP16 (LR)
  •  Prepare and run a gel (Hyperladder 2 and 4% agaros gel w/ annealed target sites)
    •  High Sensor miR-30d TS

NOTES

We have a new primer to sequence with (again, from Jeremy)
