Long Term Goals

Ways to profile miRNA

  •  Experimentally
  •  Computer Models
  •  Choose profile

Modeling Building the Cell Detector Circuit

  •  BioCompiler/Proto/MATLAB Simulation

Building the Cell Detector Circuit

  •  Understand circuit diagrams

Mini experiments

    •  Design single miRNA detector circuit
    •  Create up/downregulated miRNA models
  • Choose profile
  •  Verify sensors
  •  Create mathematical model

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

Short Term Goals

miRNA

  •  Explain why we chose the miRNA we chose

Today's Agenda

How To Please Ron/Brain

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  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
