    • Culturing (took 4 trials)
    • Transduction protocol
    • Quantification and Measurement
  • 2:25 Kiruthika gave a presentation on what they are going to do tomorrow: File:Powerpoint HERE
    • Materials/procedure
  • 2:35 Luke gave a presentation on Research: File:ProteinBiosensor.pdf
    • Biosensor Project
    • Research done up to this point
    • Research to be done
    • All research articles are posted on the wiki with a short summary
  • 3:00 Courtney Evans from the IGB lab showed us the lab safety quizzes that we all need to complete
    • http://www.igb.uiuc.edu/training/
    • Make sure to complete both DRS and IGB quizzes
  • 3:10 Luke finished presentation
    • We split up into research groups: 
Yeast Culture		Directed Evolution	Malaria         E. Coli
Matt			David			Joleen		Bobak
Aleem			Palak			Yanfen		Graham
Luke			Toni			Kiruthika	Ragini
						Tripta
*Malaria group should look up other water-borne diseases as well
*E.coli group email Dr. Golding for books
    • This is for the ecoli group and whomever else may need it. From my email with the Dr. Golding:
      • In my view, the best two sources for protocols are the following. They both offer not just the protocols,

but also intelligent introductions to the subject matter.

1) "Current Protocols in Molecular Biology" http://mrw.interscience.wiley.com/emrw/9780471142720/home/

Full text available for UIUC, I believe. A paper version exists as well.

See e.g. Chapters 1,2,3 & 13.

2) "Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual" By Joseph Sambrook et al. 3-volume set. Perhaps also available online (Google books?); used paper copies available online.

All the best,

*For further information check the powerpoint
  • 3:45 Aleem gave a presentation on the basics of how to use a wiki. Everyone should go home and upload a picture to their user page. Look around at other wikis to see what you like that we can add to ours. View source code (or click edit) to see how to put it on our own website
  • 4:00 Arranged time to meet with our groups

The meeting ended at 4:10.
