01 - 07 May
Monday
Natasia worked with the computer programmer, Shaun, on developing the wiki. We created pages for various aspects of the project. A picture slider was inserted on the home page as well as boxes for the content. A menu bar was also created to allow a visitor to the site to navigate easily from one page to another.
Tuesday
We met to discuss various aspects of the project incuding fund raising, community outreach and the specifics involved in the machine construct. We set a deadline for Friday for the choice of aptamers and promoters for the project. The engineers will work on the modelling side of the project once the promoters and aptamers are chosen. We all had a look at the wiki and shared ideas on the look and feel of the site.
Wednesday
Brad and Richard worked on the modelling aspect of the project. The biologists researched various aptamers and promoters as potential candicates for the machine construct.
Thursdat
The biologists worked on doing research on the promoters and the aptamers that will be used in the project. The research indicated that the theophylene aptamer is leaky which is just what we need! The tetracycline aptamer seems to block translation not promote it where we need aptamers that will promote translation. This means we will have to keep looking for our second aptamer.
Natasia met with a connection in a corporate institute who is involved with CSI funding allocations for tips on how to approach potential donors.
