The sensor group continued to build their test construct by inserting the constitutive promoters into the vector containing the cI repressor and ribosome binding site (B0034+C0051). The sensor group also inserted a ribosome binding site and color reporter (B0034+mCherry) in front of a terminator (B0015).

cI Repressor Test Assembly, Day 2

Jamie says: "No more research. To the lab!"

The sensor group continued to build their test construct by inserting the constitutive promoters into the vector containing the cI repressor and ribosome binding site (B0034+C0051). The sensor group also inserted a ribosome binding site and color reporter (B0034+mCherry) in front of a terminator (B0015).

cI Repressor Test Assembly, Day 3

Jamie says: "D'oh! No one said anything about WAITING!"

The sensor group inserted various ribosome binding sites (listed below) in front of the cI repressor (C0051). The sensor group also finished the assemblies from yesterday by performing colony PCR on the plated colonies.

cI Repressor Test Assembly, Day 4

Finally, the oligos arrived!

The sensor group put the reporting assembly (B0034+mCherry+B0015) in front of two cI repressor construct with different constitutive promoters (J23113+B0034+C0051 and J23105+B0034+C0051).
