Because Monday (the 23rd) was Victoria Day, we had our usual open lab meeting today. Prior to the usual lab meeting, Daisy presented Chris Keeling's 2011 Transcriptome Mining paper. We then discussed the methods section, and outlined the reagents, protocols, and any equipment that we may need. Sam and Gurpal found papers from Greece and France that used other genes (mutant erg20-2, IDI1) that may aid in increasing the yield of monoterpenes by yeast; they will e-mail the respective principal investigators.
