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.
