Week 12 : 12th of September to 18th of September

Monday

It's the final week! The iGEM 'wiki-freeze' is also closely approaching - when we can no longer make ammendments to it (to aid its being judged). There's therefore a lot of hurried tapping-away at his keyboard from our wiki maestro Haydn.

The team are now down to four people; there are reports of tumbleweeds in the further corners of the lab.

Tuesday

Reflectin is a protein taken from a eukaryote, so it's no surprise that it doesn't work as it does in squid when we express it in E. coli (a prokaryote). Out of curiosity the team are expressing it in (eukaryotic) onion cells, with the aid of a 'gene gun' - we'll literally fire little bits of DNA into the cells.
