Status Reports

The status reports of each group below were continuously updated as we worked on the biobricks.
Click on the name of each group to find past status reports throughout the sex detector project.

To learn more about each biobrick, please refer to the Biobrick page.

GROUP 1: Fluorescent Proteins

Summary for Fluorescent Proteins Group

 Venus YFP (BBa_K110021) was able to be constructed and sequence verified(with one possible
 mutation), however due to being unable to RE digest the insert out of the biobrick
 vector, possibly due to contamination,  the part was not sumbittied to the registry... yet.
 We will submit it after it is verified, after the competition.

GROUP 2: MATa Specific-promoters

Summary for MATa Specific Promoters Group

 We were able to produce sequence-verified clones of BBa_K110008 and BBa_K110016:
 http://partsregistry.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=iGEM2008&group=Johns_Hopkins .

GROUP 3: Short Two-Way Stops

 We were able to produce a truncated two-way terminator (thus a one way) 
 from the STE2 gene - BBa_K110012. Please see Link for information:
 http://partsregistry.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=iGEM2008&group=Johns_Hopkins

GROUP 4: Long Two-Way Stops & MAT(alpha) Specific Promoters

Summary for Long Two-Way Stops & MAT(alpha) Specific Promoters Group

 We were able to produce BBa_K110005 and BBa_K110006 (alpha Promoters) in iGEM vectors.
 Also BBa_K110003 was able to be produced and sequence verified. Check out these parts here
 http://partsregistry.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=iGEM2008&group=Johns_Hopkins

GROUP 5: MATa Specific Promoters II

Summary for MATa Specific Promoters II Group

 Part Description: Ste2 Promoter Reverse
 Summary here: We were able to grow colonies with sequence verified Ste2 promoters. 
   The promoter is currently located in a glycerol stock in pGEM vector. One attempt to 
   transfer to the iGEM vector has been made, unsuccessfully. This was due to a mistake 
   in protocol however, so final transfer to the iGEM vector should still be straightforward. 
   Progress on this bio-brick has been paused in order to focus on MFA1, which is more 
   applicable to our project design because this Ste2 designed for the wrong direction.
 
 Part no.: BBa_K110015
 Part Description: MFA1 Promoter Forward
 Summary here: We have been unable to get successful, sequence verified clones with 
   our MFA1 promoter thus far. We currently have a few samples of DNA ready to be tested 
   by restriction enzyme digest, and then, hopefully, sequencing.

GROUP 6: Vectors

Summary for Vectors Group

 Date: July 31, 2008
 Status report by: Tejas
 Part no.: BBa_K1100XX -> BBa_K1100YY
 Part Description: Vectors for concatenating and executing BioBricks
 
 The vectors to be used were delivered to us in STABS from MIT. They are pSB4A5 (amp), pSB4C5
 (cam), pSB3K5 (kan), and pSB4K5 (kan). The vectors come pre-inserted with the ccdB gene,
 preventing growth in all E. coli strains except DB3.1. Total amount of DNA extracted from mini
 -prep is estimated between 5 to 20 ug per vector. Restriction digests confirmed the extracted
 DNA was vectors.([http://www.jhu.edu/iGEM/Group6:Vectors/2008-7-24.Vectors%20(CAM,AMP,KAN3,KAN4)%20after%20Digest.Tejas.html Digestion of all four vectors]).
 Vectors were transformed into JM109, BB#2198 (DB3.1), and BB#5777 (DB3.1). All gave expected
 results. 1 ug of each vector was digested for future use. Gel of digestion shows DNA is correct.
 ([http://www.jhu.edu/iGEM/Group6:Vectors/2008-8-12.Digest%20of%20vectors,%20ready%20for%20distribution.Tejas.html Vectors ready for insertions])

GROUP 7: Microscopy/Yeast

Summary for Microscopy/Yeast Group

 Date: Oct 27, 2008
 Status report by: Tejas
 Part no.: no Biobrick part
 Part Description: Yeast vector pRS414 to be temporarily used.
 
 The yeast vector pRS414 will be temporarily used until it can be adjusted to meet registry 
 standards. pRS414 contains one EcoRI site and one PstI site, both directly adjacent to each 
 other. This may make digest a little less efficient. Procedure involves first digesting with 
 Pst1 for one hour, then digesting with EcoRI overnight (sequentially, not simultaneously), as 
 EcoRI can tolerate low overhangs better than PstI, according to the NEB catalog. The following 
 is a gel run on an E/P simultaneous digest of pRS414.
 Lane one is log 2 ladder. Lane 2 is uncut pRS414 (supercoiled so runs fater). Lane 3 is cut 
 vector. It may have only one cut, with half at EcoRI and half at PstI, depending on efficiency of 
 the second cut occuring after the first.

 pRS414 digest

GROUP 8: Assembly Progress

Summary of Biobrick Assemblies:

 Planned Schedule for Further Work:

 October 31st- Successful transformants from either set of ligations (of Promoter + Fluorescent 
 Protein) and transformations will be grown up for Miniprep. 

 November 1st- These pieces will be miniprepped and digested.  Digested fragments will be ligated 
 together with the terminator in the middle, into a pRS414 yeast/bacterial shuttle vector.  
 Non-digested fragments of a promoter + fluorescent protein will also individually be transformed 
 into yeast, with hopes that they will fluoresce.

 November 3rd- Full construct insert will be transformed into yeast, pending identity verification.

 November 6th- Pretty Yeast! (Hopefully).

 <b>Summary for MATa Specific Promoters Group</b>
-  Date: August 19, 2008
-  Status report by: Allison and Nate
+   We were able to produce sequence-verified clones of BBa_K110008 and BBa_K110016:
-  Part no.: BBa_K110008 -> BBa_K110016
+   http://partsregistry.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=iGEM2008&group=Johns_Hopkins .
-  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 was done to generate more clones with the correct sequence. BBa_K110008 had
-  one mutation. Another transformation into a Kan BioBrick vector was attempted but was unsuccessful.
-  September 2: Transformation into a Cam BioBrick was completed, and the restriction digestion of the Biobricks from the
-  pGEM vector were checked, comparing the inserts intended to be ligated to the Kan Biobrick vector and the inserts intended
-  to be ligated to the Cam Biobrick vector; notice that the old inserts are either too faint to see or are not there:
-  [[Media:lanes2thru5OldDigest0816NewDigest0816.jpg|lanes2thru5OldDigest0816NewDigest0816]]
-  Lanes: 1 (2-log ladder), 2 BBa_K110008 old, 3 BBa_K110016 old, 4 BBa_K110008 new, 5 BBa_K110016 new, 6 (2-log ladder)
-  A restriction digestion with EcoRI and PstI was done to check for the insert after ligated and transformed with the
-  Cam Biobrick vector: [[Media:090308digest08_16cam.jpg|090308digest08_16_cam]]
-  Lanes: 1 (old aliquot of 2-log ladder), 2 (new aliquot of 2-log ladder), 3 skip, 4 BBa_K110008, 5 skip, 6 BBa_K110016
-  September 7: Since the restriction digestions have been unclear as to whether or not the ligation of MFA1 and STE2
-  into the Cam BioBrick vector was successful, another transformation was done into the Cam Biobrick vector, restriction
-  digestions on the previous mini prep from the 1st transformation and 2nd transformation completed, as well as PCR on the mini preps
-  using the corresponding primers for BBa_K11008 and BBa_K110016. In the gel: after the 2 log ladder, the next for lanes have the
-   restriction digestion products (approx 500 ng of plasmid each) and the second four lanes are pcr products in the following
-  order: 08 (1st cam transformation) 16 (1st cam transformation) 08 (2nd transformation) 16 (2nd transformation) for both
-  the restriction digestion and the pcr. The final lane was a control used in the pcr, unrelated to the project.
-  [[Media:090708digestpcr0816.jpg|090708digestpcr0816]]
-  The restriction digestion did not show the insert, while pcr showed a band of the expected size in two of the four
