Long Term Goals

Building the Cell Detector Circuit

  •  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

Today's Agenda

How To Please Ron/Brain

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Get TAL21 promoter from Brian
  •  Plan experiments
    •  DOX induction for L7ae repression (look here)
    •  Tuning TAL14 repression
  •  Learn about gating and FACS analysis
  • 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
    •  pEXPR: MAV1212-TRE-L7ae
  •  Mini prep
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL21
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL14
    •  Low Sensor miR-144-181c
  •  Sequence verify
    •  Low Sensor miR-144-181c
  •  Digest and run gel
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL21
    •  MAV1212-hEF1a-TAL14
  •  Golden Gate (if digest works)
    •  All the TAL21 high sensors
  •  Transform
    •  All the TAL14 high sensors
    •  And a plasmid from BCR
  • -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 NOTES
