- Practice presentation
How To Please Ron/Brain
- Keep updating the parts tree (include experiments)
miRNA Sensors (Theory)
- Put in order for miRNA and other parts
- Write out detailed plan for cloning and Gibson/Gateway reactions
- What we're doing
- Why we're doing it
- What we need
- Determine repressor
- Determine output
- Perform necessary lab work
Cell Models
- Finish table of concentrations in each cell line
- Finalize siRNA transfection technique
- Re-analyze all of our data in MATLAB (Gary)
- Learn how to acquire MATLAB from Brian
- Find natural concentrations of relevant miRNAs.
miRNA Sensors (Lab Work)
- Midi-prep hEF1a:rtTA and hEF1a: Gal4VP16 2A rtTA3
- Mini-prep MAV1212 hEF1A Tal14
- Digest and Map MAV1212 hEF1A Tal14
- Transform third LR trial if not verified
- Pick/Streak hEF1a: Gal4VP16 2A rtTA3
NOTES:
hEF1a: Gal4VP16 2A rtTA3 culture did not grow so
