Week 6 : 1st of August to 7th of August
Monday
The BBC are looking for an iGEM team to film as part of a documentary. Thinking it sounds fun, the team start compiling interesting project-things to send them, including (as requested) a short video introducing the team. Being Cambridge, this can of course be no normal video, and all sorts of wacky ideas are mooted - will keep you posted on what we decide upon.
Primers have also been designed, after the major headache of transcribing gene sequences from an image file (by hand) and locating errors. Our account for ordering them has unfortunately not been set up, so another delay on starting the main body of our wetwork is quite a blow.
Tuesday
The plans for the video are made, and it is indeed to be no normal video (but then synthetic biologists have quite a history of such things - see Ginko Biowork's youtube video).
Plans are also being put in place for a kind of altruistic open-source Gibson assembly kit for iGEM teams in places where altogether less money is around for such things. The recent expiration of the mess of patents associated with taq polymerase could well be an aid to our efforts.
