5/15
Reviewed PowerPoint presentations of 2006 project to gain an understanding of the Pancake Problem.
Viewed Bruce's presentation on the mutation of the hix sites
Developed plan to build testing constructs of mutant hix sites, arriving this afternoon from Davidson by FedEx
Will build pLac - hix(n) - BBa_S03644 (RFPrev-RBSrev) - hix(n) on AmpR plasmid. Details to follow.

Project Overview
Solving the Pancake Problem with an E. coli Computer Our goal is to genetically engineer a biological system that can compute solutions to a puzzle called the burnt pancake problem. The EHOP computer is a proof of concept for computing in vivo, with implications for future data storage devices and transgenic systems. Our work was done in collaboration with the Davidson College iGEM team.
