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 genes for synthesis
  • Submitted pZE-12 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
- 26 ul Backbone plasmid = 2 ug DNA
- 5 ul Buffer #4 (optimal for SphI-HF and ClaI-HF)
- 1 ul SphI & 1 ul ClaI
- 16.5 ul H20
  • left in water bath for one hour
- 1 ul CIAP added to digestion reaction
  • left in water bath for 30 minutes
2. Ran Digestion Product through gel for 30 minutes at 120 V.
Lane 1: 2 ul 1kb Ladder + 2 ul 6X Dye + 8 ul H20
Lane 2: 25 ul digestion reaction + 5 ul 6X Dye
Lane 3: 25 ul digestion reaction + 5 ul 6X Dye
3. Gel Purification using Qiagen Kit
4. NanoDrop of Samples
Concentration:
Label:
5. Ligation Reaction
Label:
  • 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, and Alyssa Henning

  • Reconstituted VioA, VioB, and VioE forward and reverse primers
  • Set up PCR for VioA, VioB, and VioE
  • Aborted transformation of pZE-12 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
