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 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. 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. 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 yyield more for sequencing. Colonies for the other three BioBricks were selected by Ingrid on 7.22.2008 and are being grown out. Process is continuing. Work on Citrine has not yet begun. Primers have been designed and ordered, but template DNA must be grown out. Template DNA to 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.
