July 17th - July 23rd

Sunday, July 17

Lab work done by: Alyssa Henning, Bill Jo

  • Miniprepped 1 sample of GFP + AviTag (the second sample got messed up)
  • Ran a gel on the RFP that was amplified via PCR on Saturday
  • Gel purification and extraction
  • Sean will inoculate 6 tubes of GFP-containing bacteria -- 1 tube for us, 5 tubes for CURIE (Cornell iGEM's outreach program)

Monday, July 18

Lab work done by: Charlie Chung, Youjin Cho

  • Gel purified 2 RFP PCR samples from Friday
  • Miniprep 2 samples of GFP + AviTag

Tuesday, July 19

Lab work done by: James Mathew

  • Submitted GFP + AviTag for synthesis
  • Submitted pZE12 backbone for subcloning of light sensor

Wednesday, July 20

Lab work done by: James Mathew

  • Set up ligation reaction of pZE-12 backbone with the primer dimer insert
1. Digestion of Backbone
- 26µl Backbone plasmid = 2µg DNA
- 5µl NEBuffer 4 (optimal for SphI-HF and ClaI-HF)
- 1µl SphI & 1µl ClaI
- 16.5µl H2O
  • left in water bath for one hour
- 1µl CIAP added to digestion reaction
  • left in water bath for 30 minutes
2. Ran Digestion Product through gel for 30 minutes at 120V
Lane 1: 2µl 1kb Ladder + 2µl 6x loading dye + 8µl H2O
Lane 2: 25µl digestion reaction + 5µl 6x loading dye
Lane 3: 25µl digestion reaction + 5µl 6x loading dye
3. Gel Purification using Qiagen Kit
4. NanoDrop of Samples
5. Ligation Reaction
  • Ligation done overnight for transformation on 7/21/11

Thursday, July 21

Lab work done by: James Mathew

  • Miniprepped Vio operon (Cambridge 2009)

Lab work done by: Youjin Cho, Charlie Chung, Alyssa Henning

  • Reconstituted VioA, VioB, and VioE forward and reverse primers
  • Set up PCR for VioA, VioB, and VioE
  • Aborted transformation of pZE12 plasmid + AviTag primer dimer because reverse primers for AviTag were incorrect
  • Redesigned reverse primers for AviTag to order on Friday

Friday, July 22

Gel electrophoresis


Lab work done by: James Mathew, Claire Paduano

  • PCR gel purification of VioA, VioB, and VioE

Saturday, July 23

Lab work done by: James Mathew, Claire Paduano

  • Digestion of VioA, VioB, VioE, GFP, and RFP in preparation for ligation with corrected backbone and AviTag primer dimer
