Dr. Joanne Fox begins a week of iGEM laboratory training in AMBL, the teaching lab in Michael Smith Laboratories. The training sessions run from 10am-4pm; Joanne provided short lectures so everyone understands the magic that goes on behind the actual bench work. Today, those present learned about restriction digests, and then set up restriction digests of the insert and vector in the morning. In the afternoon, we learned about purification kits, CIP assays, and ligation.
