Yusuf

• Transformation of Q04400 in DH5a from DNA of 2006
  • Its in the incubator and needs to be MP o/n tomorrow

• 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

• 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
• 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

• 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):

• 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

  • 5 AMP plates
  • 5 KAN Plates
  • 3 AMP+KAN Plates

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)
• PD length check I13504 AB

Note: We are out of EtBr. Check with Seema.

Anam, Tara, Jovan

• Finished gel purification of J06801, J31003, B0034, E0433, I13033
• MP for Q04400CD, R0062AB
• PD length check for Q04400 CD, R0062AB

• Quantitation of J06801, J31003, B0034, E0433, I13033
  • Nothing showed up for J06801, I13033
  • [J31003] = 2.2 ng/uL
  • [B0034] = 9.4 ng/uL
  • [E0433] = 13.5 ng/uL

• 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
  • Q04400 C, X/P (assuming R0011 was cut with S/P)
• MP and PD length check I13504 AB
• MP o/n for N2 (4 colonies: A,B,C,D)
