Today's Agenda

How To Please Ron/Brain

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Troubleshoot
    •  What's the deal with the GAL4VP16?!
    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
    •  pEXPR: MAV1212-TRE-L7ae (LR from last night)
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-GAL4VP16
    •  MAV1212-TRE-GAL4VP16
  •  Proteinase K
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL21
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL14
  •  Transform
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL21
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL14
  •  Miniprep
    •  All the sensors (round 2)
  •  Send for sequencing
    •  All the sensors (round 2)
  •  Analyze sequencing results
    •  All the sensors (round 1)
  •  Transfect
    •  L7ae Experiment (Take 3)
  •  Seed
    •  TAL14 Experiment (Take 1)
  •  Re-anneal
    •  miR-144-181c double input target site
  •  Golden Gate
    •  Low Sensor miR-144-181c

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 All of the low sensors were verified!
