==8/15 so Zinc represses growth==
 +
* it represses growth! oh nooooo
 +
* will leave assay things going overnight
 +
* retrasnsformed I716034 because i am suspicious of the -80 pir116 i made earlier
 +
==8/14 hurrah==
 +
* I716034 "knockin'" is xformed into pir116 and plated. hopefully it works.
 +
* so this pzhuC thing works with 20x the zinc used before (i think you need 20 uL of 1M ZnCl2 per each 1 mL)
 +
* growth curve assay says... the things with zinc stopped growth at 0.06 OD. what?????
 +
* incubating various 5 mL tubies of varying zinc added.
 +
==8/13 status report==
 +
* pzhuC: 8 different clones stuck with zinc to see if any turn off zincyness
 +
# also 30.la and 30.2b put into varying concentrations Zn2+
 +
* wbbl/neus into genome: incubated some clones and will xform tmrw. made competant pir116s today (too lightly colored solution?)
 +
''todo'': catelogue my boxes. make presentation draft draft. make t-shirts/other clothing
 +
==8/7 good productivity==
 +
* so what have I done recently?
 +
# I716026 pznuC (Zn2+ repressed promoter) and I716030 composite with RFP. The RFP is incubating right now
 +
# I716028 pmgrB (Mg2+ repressed promoter) and I716031 w/RFP this is where I try to cut off the rbs to just get a basic promoter part.
 +
# I716028 pmgrB and I716032 also incubating. This is where I try to inclube the RBS. Stops before the ORF in the MG1655 genome.
 +
# wbbL neuS - assay worked great, so my clone of I716023 is good (however it's Bbriock v1.0). Currrently working on integrating it into the genome. Just transformed into DH10B today, and plated.
 +
''Other things:'' two bottles of LB went bad (???). somebody jacked my red pipetter. we need more lb/amp plates ._.
 +
==8/3 dry ice dry ice dry ice dry ice==
 +
* 27 28 29 plated
 +
* wbbL/neuS: incubating. ON culture will be used tmrw in assay.
 +
* plates
 +
==8/1 AUG 1 '07 telebears pt 2==
 +
* I716023 miniprepped and transformed into MC828 for O antigen testing
 +
* I716027 picked 4 guys and incubating
 +
* PCR did before leaving, for znuC and mgrB promoters.
 +
==7/31 my green pipette is missing==
 +
* wbbL/neuS assay on I716023 (w/ and w/o K1 phage)
 +
# one clone worked! it's the lysed one in the following picture
 +
[[Image:073107_assay.jpg]]
 +
* made oligos for
 +
# Vitreosilla sp. VHb hemoglobin
 +
# zinc promoter
 +
# Mg promoter
 +
 +
==7/30 vitreoscilla rly?==
 +
* Made I716023, which is the wbbL neuS biobrick 1.0 style.
 +
* did some reading to find promoter for sam
 +
==7/26 still trying==
 +
* I716020 repeat creation is funny, not white. colony pcr says...
 +
[[Image:072607_gel1.jpg|300px]]
 +
* I716008 sent for reverse sequencing to get a complete picture (is it really good? am I just messing up in making I716012?)
 +
 +
==7/25 few have won==
 +
* I716020 not successfully made. none were red, and the E/Ba digest gel looked really really funny (4.7k, 3k, 2k; expected was 4.9k, 0.9k)
 +
* it was religated and we will see tomorrow how the plate is
 +
* I716012 lol k put in incushaker tubes, we will see tomorrow how the tubes is
 +
 +
==7/24 many will enter few will win==
 +
* There was one clone of the I716008 that looked good: R4
 +
* a test digest suggests that it is 100% correct
 +
* But the triple digest, while having a 2150 band that I wanted, seemed to only have one 1100 or 900 band. Weird
 +
* transformed into MC828 and MC828E anyway, hopefully it works tmrw
 +
==7/23 another day==
 +
* iron "UCB" "IGEM 07" redone
 +
* I716008 9 minipreps done, each a diff clone, and sent for forward sequencings.
 +
* I716020 plated.
 +
==7/20 Untitled 2==
 +
* I716019 found to be created correctly. (t7-rbs-cytB5-rbs-cytB5red-dblterm) see ay42 and ay43

'''[[072007_neg | White Cell Negative]]'''
 +
 +
==7/19 Untitled==
 +
* so the sequencing for wbbL/neuS showed up really mixy and funny. Seems like 1/8 to 1/4 of the library has success though, so I will replate and then mini individual colonies and sequence each one til I find a winner.
 +
* yfbE assay was a success. Crisis averted by finding "Laser On" option in FlowCyto program.
 +
* cytB5/red cassette completed and sent to quintara for sequencing.
 +
==7/18 A's take Rangers to school==
 +
* A's mediocre, Rangers pretty bad
 +
* I put 12 into the wrong cell >_< well sequencing shows that I'm missing half the promoter anyway so... meh
 +
* yfbE iron promoter workses (P series). See pic on right. [[Image:071807_yfbE.jpg|300px|right]]
 +
==7/17 yaeyeayea ==

8/15 so Zinc represses growth

  • it represses growth! oh nooooo
  • will leave assay things going overnight
  • retrasnsformed I716034 because i am suspicious of the -80 pir116 i made earlier

8/14 hurrah

  • I716034 "knockin'" is xformed into pir116 and plated. hopefully it works.
  • so this pzhuC thing works with 20x the zinc used before (i think you need 20 uL of 1M ZnCl2 per each 1 mL)
  • growth curve assay says... the things with zinc stopped growth at 0.06 OD. what?????
  • incubating various 5 mL tubies of varying zinc added.

8/13 status report

  • pzhuC: 8 different clones stuck with zinc to see if any turn off zincyness
  1. also 30.la and 30.2b put into varying concentrations Zn2+
  • wbbl/neus into genome: incubated some clones and will xform tmrw. made competant pir116s today (too lightly colored solution?)

todo: catelogue my boxes. make presentation draft draft. make t-shirts/other clothing

8/7 good productivity

  • so what have I done recently?
  1. I716026 pznuC (Zn2+ repressed promoter) and I716030 composite with RFP. The RFP is incubating right now
  2. I716028 pmgrB (Mg2+ repressed promoter) and I716031 w/RFP this is where I try to cut off the rbs to just get a basic promoter part.
  3. I716028 pmgrB and I716032 also incubating. This is where I try to inclube the RBS. Stops before the ORF in the MG1655 genome.
  4. wbbL neuS - assay worked great, so my clone of I716023 is good (however it's Bbriock v1.0). Currrently working on integrating it into the genome. Just transformed into DH10B today, and plated.

Other things: two bottles of LB went bad (???). somebody jacked my red pipetter. we need more lb/amp plates ._.

8/3 dry ice dry ice dry ice dry ice

  • 27 28 29 plated
  • wbbL/neuS: incubating. ON culture will be used tmrw in assay.
  • plates

8/1 AUG 1 '07 telebears pt 2

  • I716023 miniprepped and transformed into MC828 for O antigen testing
  • I716027 picked 4 guys and incubating
  • PCR did before leaving, for znuC and mgrB promoters.

7/31 my green pipette is missing

  • wbbL/neuS assay on I716023 (w/ and w/o K1 phage)
  1. one clone worked! it's the lysed one in the following picture

File:073107 assay.jpg

  • made oligos for
  1. Vitreosilla sp. VHb hemoglobin
  2. zinc promoter
  3. Mg promoter

7/30 vitreoscilla rly?

  • Made I716023, which is the wbbL neuS biobrick 1.0 style.
  • did some reading to find promoter for sam

7/26 still trying

  • I716020 repeat creation is funny, not white. colony pcr says...

072607 gel1.jpg

  • I716008 sent for reverse sequencing to get a complete picture (is it really good? am I just messing up in making I716012?)

7/25 few have won

  • I716020 not successfully made. none were red, and the E/Ba digest gel looked really really funny (4.7k, 3k, 2k; expected was 4.9k, 0.9k)
  • it was religated and we will see tomorrow how the plate is
  • I716012 lol k put in incushaker tubes, we will see tomorrow how the tubes is

7/24 many will enter few will win

  • There was one clone of the I716008 that looked good: R4
  • a test digest suggests that it is 100% correct
  • But the triple digest, while having a 2150 band that I wanted, seemed to only have one 1100 or 900 band. Weird
  • transformed into MC828 and MC828E anyway, hopefully it works tmrw

7/23 another day

  • iron "UCB" "IGEM 07" redone
  • I716008 9 minipreps done, each a diff clone, and sent for forward sequencings.

White Cell Negative

7/19 Untitled

  • so the sequencing for wbbL/neuS showed up really mixy and funny. Seems like 1/8 to 1/4 of the library has success though, so I will replate and then mini individual colonies and sequence each one til I find a winner.
  • yfbE assay was a success. Crisis averted by finding "Laser On" option in FlowCyto program.
  • cytB5/red cassette completed and sent to quintara for sequencing.

7/18 A's take Rangers to school

  • A's mediocre, Rangers pretty bad
  • I put 12 into the wrong cell >_< well sequencing shows that I'm missing half the promoter anyway so... meh
  • yfbE iron promoter workses (P series). See pic on right.

6/22 floodrly?

  • floodrly?

6/21 ok

062107 ayu gel2.jpg
062107 ayu gel1.jpg
  • yfbE and neuS didn't work. wbbL was good.
  1. Chris redoes them all
  2. and all are plated. yfbE gets extra love with a 20 uL iron plate extra.
  • B5 synth'd thing, miniprep'd
  1. Let's call it I716005
  2. looks ok from picture... sending G1 and G3 for forward sequencing.
  • Bca9229 - B5 thing, placed into austin digest with BglII/XhoI, xformed

IMGS: (<< Left) The B5 reductase (?) digest looks good.
(>> Right) The digested gel to purify was good. [yfbE, neuS, 1122x3, 1121x3, wbbL]

6/20 oops

062007 ayu gel2.jpg
  • yfbE irony thing... fail
062007 ayu gel1.jpg
  1. (BAD) w/ and w/o FeCl3 had no difference
  2. did mini of the F1, F2, F3 xformed and incubated stuff
  3. (>> digested mini with EcoRI/BamHI and got the band pattern of the parent vector (1100-1109). So failed xformation.
  4. I was looking for 3k and a 400, not a 3k and a 1250.
  5. (FIX) Got good digest of 1100-1109 from Chris, and put with new digest of yfbE to incubate on a plate.
  • wbbL and neuS... no colonies on the plate (fail)
  1. (BAD) I believe I plated wrong.
  2. <<) A digestion of the miniprep looks fine (so 1121 and 1122 parent plasmids OK)
  3. And pretty sure that wbbL and neuS were good, and that I cut out bands right.
  4. (FIX) Redid incubating and plating.

Ayu 16:58, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

6/19 safety is everyone's job

  •  ;-)
  • Sequencing received, looks good (ay05,ay06: ay016-18) see seq page

NOtes: STILL NEED TO ENTER YFBE PROMOTER PART LOL entering composite parts would be nice too
I did 10 digestions today. I'm proud of myself.

6/14 stuff about things

  • neuS clone C1: WE HAVE A WINNER!
  • miniprep party, D1/2/3/4
  • digestions didn't work too well mmmm going to sequence D1 and D4.
  • wbbL good plate, now incubating in shaker
  • cgctattcgcgctacctttg ready to order (middle sequencing of HPI/katG)

6/13 gloves, zymo, and ethanol oh my

  • a random day
  1. neuS digest used to transform n plate new colonies, since the old plate had only 3 people, and 1 which worked
  2. wbbL digest > new plate as well (old one had one colony and it was bad)
  3. yfbE put into shakey tubes
  • One of the neuS got miniprepped and the test digest looks good compared to test in ApE
061307 ayu gel1.jpg

  1. sending it for sequencing, eh.
  • Sequencing...
  1. Most (A1, A4, B1) sucked
  2. only A3 (HPI/katG) was decent. It might have an addition mutation of a G.
  3. A3 sent for reverse sequencing with G01001
  • Began redo-ing of HPI/katG-making, with a phase 1 PCR (the halves with a mutation)


Todo: Input parts in registry (yfbE?)

6/12 a bag full of grapes

  • YAY WE ALL GOT OUR OWN SET OF PIPETTE PEOPLE
  • PCR of yfbE...
  1. last night's thing, left in the freezer overnight. >FAIL<
  2. Did a new PCR -- looks good -- cells xform'd, plate is incubating.
  • neuS new xformation looks good. Three colonies now incubating.
  • wbbL (1) and HPI/katG (4)
  1. miniprepped and digest gel ran:
061207 ayu gel1.jpg

  1. HPI/katG 1,2,3,4 || wbbL || marker
  2. 1,2 might be okay.. that faint band is weird. 3 is great! 4 = wtf. wbbL = wtf too (should have two bands)
  3. decision to put 1,3,4,wbbL for sequencing.

Ayu 17:59, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

6/11 austin's birthday

  • CAKE PARTY - great custard cake
  • I put the wbbL (1) and HPI/katG (4) colonies to incubate in LB broth.
  • neuS failed; no colonies :(((((((
    • redid ligation and xformation. hopefully there will be good results tmrw!
  • made like 20 LB-Agar/Amp plates - looks like our stock will last at least this week
  • researched nitric oxide (NO) and E. Coli - looks like soxRS is promising
  • also researched RBCs and how they deal with NO
  • plopped yfbE into PCR will do stuff with it tmrw


TO DO: enter yfbE into the registry
Ayu 18:24, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

6/8 long day?

  • My PCR from last night (HPI/katG) was ROXOR! (left)
    • xformed some DH10B's. w00t w00t
  • Today's PCR was wbbL and neuS. ALSO ROXOR LOL (right)
    • xformed DH10B's.
  • made oligos for yfbE promoter thingy - will test with GFP and yeah! next week!
  • poured lotsa LB/agar+amp plates


060807 ayu gel1.jpg
060807 ayu gel2.jpg

6/7 we got benches

  • we got benches
  • pcr of [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I716253:Design HPI/katG from Salmonella]
  1. well... getting the mutated PCR prod overnight. going to xform tmrw, hope it works!
  • programmed pcr on machine upstairs (#6)
  • we got computers
  • AGAR SUX, for future reference:
  1. nuke @ 20:00 min, 50% power.
  2. water bath in tap water for 5-10 min
  3. thaw the antibiotic right now!!
  4. FIRE for disinfecting
  5. pour that stuff. set 15 min, then marker it then bag

6/6 waiting for oligos

  • Made oligos and constructs with Vai, for getting wbbL and neuS from pJ23006-Bca9106
  • We tried the P_tet/RFP triple/double digest to make a composite part.
  1. FAIL
  2. probably source DNA is bad
  3. so much for that activity...


Other stuff: I won speed scrabble. even though I kind of cheated ish (didn't stop when Sam said stop"

6/5 coolbeans

  • Finalized oligos to order with Vai
  • Learned about LB broth-ing and LB/Agar plating. Thanks, Austin and Sam :)
  • Learned about the many composite part-making methods. Props 2 Chris
  1. prefix/suffix is weaksauce
  2. Use the AlwnI or BsaI or BglI, in conjuction with BglII or BamHI << (Did this today)
  3. DBBS
  4. 3 antibiotic; MIT endorses, used for BioBrick 1.0. Triple digest = bad
  5. 1-2-3 method << 'Our Goal' in a few weeks. should be leet.
  • Planned and vicariously did the making of P_tet+RFP brick (see Vai Notebook)


Other Notes: All oligos are being ordered, w00t w00t. Ayu 18:36, 5 June 2007 (EDT)

6/4 Training Finishes, Real Stuff Starts

  • Incubated some colonies
  • Miniprep'd already-been-incubated colonies (2)
  • Double digest of the 2 minipreps + parent plasmid
  • Colony PCR'd the incubated E.coli
  • Ran gel of the digest + PCR
060407gelayu.jpg
  • >>> PCR product / Miniprep 1 / Parent Plasmid / Miniprep 2 / Ladder >>>
  • No bands for PCR or parent. Confused? Other ones look great.


As for me: Wiki acc works now.
Designing oligos and will compare with Vai. Ayu 18:19, 4 June 2007 (EDT)
