Microfluidic Chips
- Continue alignment training
- Run experiments on "chemostat" chip to check design
- Adapt design of "chemostat" chip for e-coli
Preparing the parts
-
Sequence the lysis cassette -
Double-check lysis cassette sequence
All the parts are verified, we can now assemble them!
Assembly
-
Research plasmid backbones. Is there one that already contains Tet-repressed LacI or GFP? -
Design Gibson primers to assemble the three different plasmids. -
Receive said primers - Determine which sequence on LacI-plasmid and Lysis-plasmid should be used to create the "mega-plasmid".
- Think of new assemblies we want to make (pTet with RFP, for example)
Specifically:
- Run PCRs and gels on existing sequences (plasmid backbone, TetR gene, RFP)
TetR mutants
- determine required sequences
- order primers
- ext. PCR for MITOMI
MITOMI
- repeat MITOMI experiments for practice
- order one-off sequences for tetR MITOMI
- de Brujin experiment on TetR (will also yield PWM)
- determine position weight matrix for TetR, compare with de Brujin results
- determine position weight matrix for TetR mutants
Microfluidics and chemostat chip
- Continue alignment training
- Repeat experiments to check design
- Grow E. Coli from spotted arrays
- [No microfluidics] Setup a plate and test tween concentrations
- Determine growth rate as function of tween concentration (say 0.075% +- 0.7, as many increments as will fit on the chip)
