-==Lab Progress==
-'''May 21st, 2008''': - Resctriction enzyme digest was done on the J-brick with EcoRI. Gel was run on the J-brick after the restriction digest. No DNA was detected on the gel (the ladder was visible on the gel).
-'''May 22nd, 2008''': - Prepared TOP10 Competent cells for eventual transformation.
+==Lab Protocols==
-- Performed Mini-prep on Reporter+ Cells
-- Performed Digest and Gel on Reporter plasmid extract -- no DNA present, suggest follow-up maxi-prep
-'''May 23rd, 2008''': - Transformed Top10 cells with Puc19 to ensure that the competent cell procedure was successful. Growth was observed, therefore procedure was successful.

-'''May 25th, 2008''': - Diluted Reporter cells 1/1000 with 5ul Kan/mL culture for 16h incubation at 5:30pm. To be used for Maxiprep at 9:30am-1:30pm.
+Key Elements of the Central Dogma of cloning
-'''May 28th, 2008''': - Ran gel on Elowitz reporter DNA cut with EcoR1; 2 bands - 0.7 kb and 2.0 kb, confirms identity of reporter DNA.
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/Restriction_digest Restriction Digest]
-- Seeded syn-I and J-40001 into amp/kan LB and kan LB.
-'''May 29th, 2008''': - Growth of J-brick in culture - No growth of I-brick on culture - Seeded J-brick for Midi-Prep in 40mL LB with ampicillin - Transformed TOP10 cells with both I brick and Reporter Plasmid
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/DNA_Agarose_Gel Making a DNA Agarose Gel]
-'''June 2nd, 2008''': - Growth of I-brick on culture - Midi-prep of both I and J brick followed by gel - Gel indicates no presence of DNA, will be confirmed by spectrophotometric assay
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/Gel_extraction Gel extraction]
-'''June 3rd, 2008''': - Seeding of 5mL cultures of both I and J brick - Identity of colonies on I brick plates is suspect, must ensure that eventual DNA gel confirms exact restriction digest
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/Confirmation_quantity DNA quantity assessment]
-'''June 4th, 2008''': - Midiprep was done on the I and the J-brick. Once the isopropanol was added, the J-brick midiprep looked clear (no DNA was eluted). DNA gel needs to be done to confirm presence of DNA in both cases.
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/Ligation Ligation]
-'''June 9th, 2008''': - Seeded J and I-brick re-seeded for Maxi-Prep - Gel failed to confirm presence of previously collected DNA samples of J and I-brick, will be repeated following Maxi-Prep.
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/Cell_transformation Cell Transformation]
-'''June 10th, 2008''': - Since no growth was observed in the I-brick culture, the I brick was re-seeded.
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/Seeding Seeding method]
-- The J-brick was diluted in 500-ml of LB broth(for a Maxiprep to be done the next day).
-'''June 11th, 2008''':
+. [https://2008.igem.org/Team:Montreal/DNA_Extraction DNA Extraction: Mini-, Midi-, Maxiprep]
-- Maxiprep of the J-brick.
--Restriction digest of J-brick
