Lab Work

Wet Lab

A gel was run with the parts that were cut with XbaI during the night. J23022 was not cut, but fortunately B0032, B0015 and J23032 were cut. These positive parts were then cut with EcoRI and were again separated on gel, followed by gel extraction. After that, we could perform the following ligations: J23100+B0032 and R0084+B0032.

We did a miniprep of the following parts: R0011, P1010, C0062, I712022, C0060 and R0062. We also nanodropped them and digested them with SpeI. The SpeI of La Roche is empty, so we used the enzyme of NEB. Because EcoRI doesn't cut very well in the buffer of SpeI (NEB buffer 2), we began to purify it by ethanol-precipitation. We put it overnight in -20°C.

Competent TOP10 cells were transformed by heat shock with the overnight ligation products.

Dry Lab

General

Primers for EnvZ::KmR mutation were made, will be ordered tomorrow.

Wiki

Worked on count down, keeping track on the time distance till the jamboree. Timer will be done tomorrow, after that the homepage will be taken care of.

"The Project" tab has been taken care of, adding the details/mechanisms of the different parts. Tried to add figures and schemes for easier reading. Will be worked on whenever I further feel like it.
