Week 1 Summary
This week the video is presented by Michal Przydacz. Click here to find out more about Michal!- This week:
- Our new lab was set up
- We created glycerol stocks of E.coli and Pseudomonas strains for future use
- We had a meeting with Dr Daniel Walker who gave us some really useful information
- We chose the biobricks we would need (various Promoters, Ribosome Binding Sites and Terminators)and began transforming them
Week 2 Summary
