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
  •  Actual list of experiments
    •  TAL14 & GAL4 (to test promoter)
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-eBFP2
  •  Make/Find primers
    •  To sequence both 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)

  •  Sequence/digest plasmids to verify - may be unnecessary. Emailed Brian.
    •  EF
    •  GH - don't have this
    •  pEXPR: MAV1212-Hef11a-eBFP2
    •  Mutant Hef1a-2xKturn-eGFP
    •  Wild Type Hef1a-2xKturn-eGFP
  •  Pick colonies and grow up
    •  MAV1212-mRFP
    •  L1_TALER14_L2
    •  pTAL14-mKate-pEST
    •  MAV1212-Hef1a-eBFP2 for midiprep (pending Brian's approval)
    •  EF low sensor for midiprep (pending Brian's approval)
    •  Mutant Hef1a-2xKturn-eGFP for midiprep (pending Brian's approval)
    •  WT Hef1a-2xKturn-eGFP for midiprep (pending Brian's approval)
  •  Miniprep
    •  GH - don't have this
  •  Transformations
    •  GH (Golden Gate)
    •  Hef1a-L7ae (LR)
    •  Hef1a-TAL14 (LR)
  •  BP
    •  P4-donor-P1R with TAL14-mKate pEST

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 BP rxn didn't yield colonies --> re-doing it and letting it grow overnight this time
