Week 12 : 12th of September to 18th of September

Monday

It's the final week! The iGEM 'wiki-freeze' is also closely approaching - when we can no longer make ammendments to it (to aid its being judged). There's therefore a lot of hurried tapping-away at his keyboard from our wiki maestro Haydn.

The team are now down to four people; there are reports of tumbleweeds in the further corners of the lab.

Tuesday

Reflectin is a protein taken from a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote eukaryote], so it's no surprise that it doesn't work as it does in squid when we [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_expression express] it in E. coli (a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryote prokaryote]). Out of curiosity the team are expressing it in (eukaryotic) onion cells, with the aid of a 'gene gun' - we'll literally fire little bits of DNA into the cells. Cool? Yup.
