Status Reports

The status reports of each group below will continuously be updated as we work on the biobricks. The following PDFs contain progressive versions of our status reports as we continue through the sex detector project; they are added weekly. To learn more about each biobrick, please refer to the Biobrick page.

Status Report 2.1 - 07/12/08
Status Report 2.2 - 07/17/08

Please BOLD the most recent step that you have completed. Do this by placing the tag < b > in front of and </ b > at the end of what you would like to be placed in bold (with no space between letter and carrot symbol (<,>).

GROUP 1: Fluorescent Proteins

Summary for Fluorescent Proteins Group

 Date: July 22, 2008
 Status report by: Tejas
 Part no.: BBa_K110017 -> BBa_K110023
 Part Description: yESapphire , mCherry, venusYFP, and Citrine
 

<source lang="perl">Work on yESapphire was gratiously done by James. Primers were designed. Restriction site ends

 have been added through PCR. The product was cloned into JM109. Colonies were picked and an
 inoculation was grown. Miniprep was performed and subsequent DNA was CS PCR'd and run on a gel
 to verify contents ([http://www.jhu.edu/iGEM/Group3:ShortTwo-wayStops/2008-7-22.Short%202Way%20Stop,%20Alpha%20Promoters,%20&%20Sapphire%20FP.Allison%20Suarez%20and%20Nate%20Sotuyo%20.html Short 2Way Stop, Alpha Promoters, & Sapphire FP]). BioBrick is currently being
 sequenced.
 
  Work on mCherry and venusYFP (BBa_K110018 -> BBa_K110021) is currently being done. Primers were
 designed. Restriction sites have been added through PCR. 
 [http://www.jhu.edu/iGEM/Group1:FluorescentProteins/2008-7-23.PCR%20Products:%20mCherry%20and%20Venus%20YFP,%20both%20RtL%20and%20LtR.Ingrid,%20Tejas.html PCR Products: mCherry and Venus YFP, both RtL and LtR] The products were cloned into JM109 and
 plated. 3 colonies per 4 BioBricks (total 12) were picked, grown out, miniprepped, and digested
 for verification on a gel.
  According to the results, ([http://www.jhu.edu/iGEM/Group1:FluorescentProteins/2008-7-22.Venus%20YFP%20and%20mCherry%20Miniprep%20check%20via%20digest.Ingrid.html Venus YFP and mCherry Miniprep check via digest]), only one of the
 mCherry's (BBa_K110019) is the correct product. This product will be retransformed to yield more
 for sequencing. New colonies for the other three BioBricks were selected by Ingrid on 7.22.2008 and
 are being grown out. Process will continue as per protocol.
 
  Work on Citrine has not yet begun. Primers have been designed and ordered, but template DNA must
 be grown out. Template DNA will be grown and extracted by James should we later decide that Citrine
 will be needed.
 
 *Note that mCherry and Citrine both have restriction sites within the coding region, and are
 therefore not optimal. Advice/help on this issue would be appreciated.  </source>
