First day in the lab and 48 biobricks to go, how exciting!
Of the 48 biobricks we will have when the project is finished we had only established 17 of them and ordered primers. We started the day with 11 PCR reactions of the first bash of 17 biobricks, we still need some DNA templates to due all 17. 6 PCR were correct and was purified with a purification Kit (GE Healthcare). So only 42 biobricks to go!
Biobricks in the bag:
- pALC
- TtrpC
- Terminator 1
- Terminator 2
- Terminator 3
- argB
- Insert GEL Photo

Some of the PCR reactions that didn't work Tuesday was repeated with a different annealing temperature and amplification of new biobricks.
New biobricks in the bag:
- Insert of gel photo
- PGK
- BGHpA
- eGFP+k_GOI
The fragments will be frozen and purified later.
We still have not succeed to make biobricks pyrG and pyrG-DR (use as a marker in fungi), despite two PCR attempts with a high annealing (59°) and low (56°) temperature.
Work for iGEM Copenhagen team
We have established a collaboration with iGEM Copenhagen team, where we will create some biobricks for them and they can use our plug 'n' play system and they will save a lot of time.
So today we transformed competent E.coli cells with some of the standard biological parts from iGEM, so we later take make biobricks to match our system.

Today we purified 22 biobricks, which have been obtained over the last week of laboratory work with PCR. The purification of DNA was done by using the illustra GFX PCR DNA and Gel Band Purification Kit (GE Healthcare) according to manufactures manual for purification of DNA from TAE and TBE agarose gels protocol, see protocol section for more information.
