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)

  •  Alternative backbones? Check iGEM 2013
  •  Plan experiment to test Kturn (Just Kturn and L7ae)
  •  Re-make double input low sensor as ultramer
  • 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 colonies & grow in medium Midi prep medium
    •  EF
    •  GH
    •  pEXPR: Hef1a-eBFP2
    •  Mutant Hef1a-2xKturn-eGFP
    •  Wild Type Hef1a-2xKturn-eGFP
    •  Mini prep medium
      •  pENTR: L7ae
  •  Gateway
    •  MAV1212-Hef1a-L7ae
    •  MAV1212-Hef1a-mKate
  •  BP
    •  P4-donor-P1R on Brian's bench
    •  TAL14-mKate pEST in Brian's fridge
  •  Golden Gate
    •  EF
    •  GH
  •  Transformation
    •  BP reaction
    •  TAL14 mKate

NOTES

  • -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 We should sequence the low sensors when they're done
