Yusuf

  • Transformation of Q04400 in DH5a from DNA of 2006
    • Its in the incubator and needs to be MP o/n tomorrow
  • Quantitation of N1 and S01003 using previously digested parts
    • Whoever comes in tomorrow plz check if the parts match up. everything is in the notebook and also do the calculation to find out the concentration of both constructs if they match up to what is expected
  • Length check of the following:
    • E1B # 1 (A,B)
    • E1B # 2 (A,B)
    • R0082 (A,B)
    • I13504 (A,B)
      • For all these length checks enzyme combination Xba/Pst was used
  • Length Check:
  • Part Name Part Plasmid
  • E1B#1 A O O
  • E1B#1 B O O
  • E1B#2 A O O
  • E1B#2 B O O
  • I13504 A O O
  • I13504 B x x
  • R0082 A x O
  • R0082 B x O
  • Mp o/n of J06801
  • I13033: plate couldnt be found
  • Made:
    • 3 AMP+KAN
    • 3 KAN

TO DO:

  • MP o/n of Q04400
  • Ligation of N1 + S01003 using previously digested parts
    • Quantitation has already been done and the tubes for these are in the iGem 2007 box
  • Proceed with ligating OmpR promoter with GFP: R0082 + E0240. (Use I13504 if you think it's necessary)
  • Test S/P/E/X enzymes (all of them) to determine relative activity and record the order. Use one of the not commonly used plasmids
  • MP of J06801 A&B
  • Ligate if N1 and S01003 is correct

Oct. 9, 2007

  • Digest, GE, purify, quantitate:
    • I13033 A, S/P - Bands at: ~3500, ~3000 (cut out), 2000-1500
      • [I13033] = 0 ng/uL
    • J06801 A, E/X - Bands at: ~6000 (cut out)
      • [J06801] = 0 ng/uL
    • Q04400 C, X/P - Bands at: none
  • Mini-prep E1b #1 AB, E1b #2 AB (#1 and #2 denote plate numbers)
  • length check (O = match, X = non-match):
Part NamePartPlasmid
N2 AXO
N2 BXO
N2 CXO
N2 DXO
  • For N2, the part length corresponded to ~1000 bp, which is the length of both N1 and S01003.
  • Hold off on length checking R0062 (may or may not happen)

To Do:

  • Length check of E1b #1 AB, E1b #2 AB
  • Make plates when you need them. (We have 2 large agar flasks, and if you do melt one, maybe split it into 2 flasks)
  • Proceed with ligating OmpR promoter with GFP: R0082 + E0240. (Use I13504 if you think it's necessary)
  • Test S/P/E/X enzymes (all of them) to determine relative activity and record the order. Use one of the not commonly used plasmids
  • Re-ligate N1 + S01003 using previously digested parts (make sure to quantitate again)
  • Transform Q04400 into DH5a
  • Make o/n of J06801 A, I13033 A (4 x 2.5 mL each) - this is to address the low DNA concentrations; we will combine them into 2 super MPs (the MP kit can only handle a max of 5 mL of o/n per tube). We will then combine them in the gel extractions stage

Esther, Conrad, Adnan

Done:

  • Transform E1b - Done with AMP plates. Two plates of this in the incubator. One may have been unsuccessful.
  • MP I13033A and J06801A (two each; also freezer stocks of these, one each), MP of I13504 A, B.
    • Label may have been switched between the two parts. Run a sample PD to check before proceeding.
      • The two that may have been switched are I13033A and J06801A - the ones that have the resistances written on them. The other ones were done later and there should be no problems.
  • MP o/n for N2 (4 colonies: A,B,C,D) and R0062 (colonies: C, D, E, F)

To Do:

  • MP O/N of E1b
  • MP of N2 (A,B,C,D) and R0062 (C,D,E,F)
  • Digest, GE, purify, quantitate:
    • I13033 A, S/P
    • J06801 A, E/X
    • Q04400 C, X/P (assuming R0011 was cut with S/P)

    • Nothing showed up for J06801, I13033

  • Ligated B0034 + J31003 = E1b (refer to diagram posted up in wet lab area)
  • Transformed N1A + S01003D = N2 and its in incubator.
  • MP o/n for I13033A (2 copies), J06801A (2 copies), I13504 AB in incubator. (2 copies should be combined into 1 Eppendorf tube each; should end up with 1 new miniprep of I13033A and J06801A. If these MPs are successful, remove/store the old ones)


TO DO:

  • Transform E1b
  • MP I13033A, and J06801A (and make stock if there isn't any in the -80 freezer of this)
    • Don't do PD length check on these because it has already been done before and has passed it.
  • Digest, GE, purify, quantitate:
    • I13033 A, S/P
    • J06801 A, E/X
