GROUP 2: MATa Specific-promoters

 Date: August 12, 2008
 Status report by: Allison and Nate
 Part no.: BBa_K11008 -> BBa_K110016
 Part Description: A promoters MFA1 (L+R) and Ste2 (R+L)
 Two more minipreps were completed. DNA concentrations were much higher (>150 ng/ul).
 Date: August 5, 2008
 Status report by: Allison and Nate
 Part no.: BBa_K110008 -> BBa_K110016
 Part Description: A promoters: MFA1 (L+R) and Ste2 (R+L), respectively.
 Sequences were analyzed. BBa_K110016 had a perfect clone. Since there is not much
 miniprep left, a transformation will be done to generate more clones with the 
 correct sequence. BBa_K110008 had one mutation; additional minipreps from other clones
 are ready to send off for sequencing, although the DNA concentrations are low. Colonies
 can be picked and overnight cultures grown
 for another round of minipreps.
 Date: July 29, 2008
 Status report by: Allison and Nate
 Part no.: BBa_K110008 -> BBa_K110016
 Part Description: A promoters: MFA1 (L+R) and Ste2 (R+L), respectively.
 Two samples of mini preps from MFA1 and Ste2 were sent off for sequencing at the end of last week.
 Results will follow soon.
 Status report by Allison and Nate
 Part no.: BBa_K110016
 Part Description: Ste2 (R+L)

 Part no.: BBa_K110016
 Part Description: Ste2 (R+L)
 Part Location: in a labeled box, second shelf from the top, -20 degrees C refrigerator next to 
  front door; plates at 4 degrees
 Date: 7/14/08
 PCR successful? Yes
 Cloning of PCR product successful: There were many blue colonies (similar to the plate of BB_K110008)
 Sequencing of cloned PCR product successful: not done
 Joining of validated part to adjacent part(s) status: not done
 Problems to be solved: Ligation
 Current status of this part: plates are at 4 degrees; another ligation/transformation 
  will be completed soon
 Status report by Allison and Nate
 Part no.: BBa_K110008
 Part Description: MFA1 (L+R)
 Part Location: same as above, plates are at 4 degrees refrigerator near front door
 Date: 7/14/08
 PCR successful? Yes
 Cloning of PCR product of successful? There were mainly light blue colonies 
  (only a couple white colonies)
 Sequencing of cloned PCR product successful: not done
 Joining of validated part to adjacent part(s) status: not done
 Problems to be solved: Ligation

 Status report by Allison and Nate
 Part no.: BBa_K110016
 Part Description: Ste2 (R+L)
 Part Location: in a labeled box, second shelf from the top, -20
 degrees C refrigerator next to front door
 Date: 7/10/08
 PCR successful? Yes
 BioBricks 8 and 16
 BioBricks 8 and 16 Using Constant Annealing
 Short 2Way Stop, Alpha Promoters, & Sapphire FP
 Cloning of PCR product successful: in progress
 Sequencing of cloned PCR product successful: not done
 Joining of validated part to adjacent part(s) status: not done
 Problems to be solved: to be determined
 Current status of this part: Both PCR protocols (touchdown and second
 PCR with constant annealing temperature) produced product of the
 correct size. BBa_K110016 was used as a control in the second PCR with
 BBa_K110008.

 Cloning of PCR product successful: in progress
 Sequencing of cloned PCR product successful: not done
 Joining of validated part to adjacent part(s) status: not done
 Problems to be solved: to be determined
 Current status of this part: PCR was being troubleshooted, appeared to
 have good results with regular PCR protocol (not touchdown) in which
 there was a constant annealing temperature of 55 degrees C - see gel
