Made AMP plates
Autoclaved test tubes
Ran gel of ?
Started O/N of Buddy & Betty
Checked restreaked colonies of Buddy & Betty --> positive growth except for 9&10 but this is expected because they are controls

Schedule:
Nik cant make it he just isn't crazy enough looks like justin is currently the only one crazy enough
Michelle & Justin are now the long weekend crew - be prepared for ILLUSIONS!!!! or perhaps just some awesome pipetting techniques while they're prepping to champ out at the ULTIMATE pipetting Olympiads.
Meeting @ 1700hrs

Minipreps of lifeforms Buddy and Betty
Not enough room in box with blue tape, designed a new holding vessel (i.e. box with white tape below box with blue tape in the freezer) for minipreps of aforementioned lifeforms.
-JB
Made gel
Digested (double) Buddy & Betty minipreps
Digest (single) I0500 - from tube we believe is a miniprep in the -20 freezer
weekend to-do list
-JP, ML, MC
August 4
Meeting at 1000hrs - Michelle will definately be there at 1000 Justin is expected at 1030
Lab Notes:
Made a project timeline - check out the cabinets on the left side of the 4C-degree fridge
Ran gel - no bands for I0500 (we were sad) but there are awesome bands of Betty & Buddy
Attempting to figure out the I0500 problem; transformed into XL10 Gold & HB101
-MC, JP, ML
August 5
Meeting at 1000hrs - Michelle will definately be there at 1000 Justin is expected at 1030
Lab Notes:
1-transform I0500 into HB101 and XL10 gold
2-restricted mini's of Buddy and Betty with Xba/Pst (confirmed with gel their presence yesterday)
3-ran I0500 samples in gel and no DNA present, chucked out samples - re transform...
-MC, JP & ML (in spirit)
For Tomorrow
1-gel purify Buddy and Betty
2-ligate Buddy and Betty into Boo34 (overnite)
3-start ONs of I0500 for mini on tuesday
August 6
Meeting at 1000hrs - Michelle will definately be there at 1000 Justin is expected at 1030
Lab Notes:
- JP, ML, AF, MC
Notes:
1- re-plated I0500 tranformations on Kan and AMP plates - hope for growth
2- ran buddy and betty XbaI/PstI restriction products on gel and gel extracted
3- began ligation reaction with B0034 (in back shaker at 13 degrees)
4- started making butanol plates...but it might not work so well with higher percentages because when you plate the agar its warm/hot and when you add the butanol it bubbles like mad (evaporates). We tried pouring at lower temp, but it prooved disasterous
Fact of the Day
A good ligation is like a hoola-hoop, they're both circular and only one is methylated
