Preliminary Exercise

Our initial task was to find an interesting protein in Bacillus, and design the appropriate primers to make a GFP fusion to this protein. Then, we used the process of Gibson Assembly to create our fusion.

This exercise introduced many of us to laboratory work for the first time, and helped reinforce the key concepts and 'central dogma' as well as practice reading research papers.

The group was divided into three for this exercise; each group worked independently to create a separate gene fusion.
