Transformation of T7 polymerase ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K145001 K145001]), mCherry ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J06702 J06702]]), Lac Promoter ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0010 R0010]]), and double terminator ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0014 B0014] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_B0015 B0015]) biobricks for test sequences for BisA and BisB degradation genes ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K123000 K123000] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K123001 K123001])
Retested competent cells made June 22nd with [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K123001 K123001] and pUC
Transfered 0.5 mL aliquots of BPA and 5mL 17a-ethynylestradiol cultures from June 20 to new tubes of minimal media
Designed primers for test sequence of BisdA (pNT001)
Designed primers to continue sequencing of human ER ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K123003 K123003])

We determined that sequences for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K123000 K123000] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K123001 K123001] have correct protein coding but different codons than in the sequences shown online

June 24

Transformation of Tet repressible promoter [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0040 R0040]
Preparation of LB, LB (no antibiotic) plates, and SOC media
Transfer of 5 mL DDT and nonylphenol cultures from June 21 to new tubes of minimal media
Design of reverse primer for continued sequencing of human ER ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K123003 K123003])
Update Wiki with protocols we have been using

We determined that our competent cells are functional have a cfu/ug DNA of 6.6 x 10^6.
