Today's Agenda

Presentations

How To Please Ron/Brain

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Create circuit diagram (Raymond)
    •  Put it on our subgroup home page
  •  Determine final output of circuit
  •  How does repressor affect the circuit?
    •  Determine our repressors and repressible promoters 
    •  Find entry vectors in our library
  •  Understand why we're doing any of these reactions
  • 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)

  •  Transform MAV1212 into ccdB resistance cells
    •  Grow at low temp w/ x-gal, shielded from light
    •  Pick as many colonies as possible
    •  Sequence ccdB region
  •  Propogate plasmids (in room 215, in -20 fridge, labeled "igem 2014")
    •  MAV1212
    •  MAV1212-Hef1a-EBFP2
    •  (MAV1212-Hef1a-mKate2)
  •  Gateway MAV1212-Hef1a-L7ae

Cell Models

  •  Finish table of concentrations in each cell line
  •  Finalize siRNA transfection technique 

Social Media

  •  Public wiki
    •  Paragraph from sponsorship booklet
  • 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
