Long Term Goals

miRNA Profile

  •  Read literature
  •  Choose profile

Building the Cell Detector Circuit

  •  Build  Choose profile
  •  Verify sensors
  •  Create mathematical model
  •  Make test bed
    •  Controlled miRNA expression
    •  Constructed miRNA sensors

Mini experiments

    •  Single miRNA detector circuit

Experiments

    •  L7ae repression
    •  TAL14 repression
    •  TAL21 repression
    •  Single input sensors
    •  Multiple input sensors

Alzheimer's Model

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

Today's Agenda

How To Please Ron/Brain

  •  AD blood cells from PrecisionMed? Talk to Brian?
  •  Meet with Kyle about designing siRNA (email sent)
    •  Make siRNA sequences in geneious
    •  Send order to Brian
  •  Picture of how low sensors come together
  • Keep updating the parts tree (include experiments)

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Determine which pairs of target sites we want
    •  Find sequences (hopefully under 200 bp)
    •  Send ultramer order to Brian
    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)

  •  Golden Gate
    •  Gather miRNA target sites from Jeremy
      •  Nanodrop for concentrations ( ? )
    •  Make all 6 single low sensors (in conjunction with antibody group)
  •  Create new MAV vector?
  •  Miniprep eBFP2
  •  Pick colonies from mKate2 and L7ae

NOTES

  • 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 Both LR's failed (mKate2 and L7ae)
