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

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Meet w/ Brian about double input low sensor
  •  Fill out PCR protocol to be ready for tomorrow
  •  Create high sensor construction map (unified to look like the other groups)
  •  Design primers / find restriction enzymes to sequence low sensors
  • 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)

  •  Pick multiple low sensor colonies

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 Double input low sensor will be a gBlock
