 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

 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.

 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.
 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.
