− | + | <p>Getting ready for the Asia conference. </p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="July20-24"></span>20-24 July 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Attended the iGEM Asia Conference hosted by National Chiao Tong University. We learned a lot from other teams and met some really awesome people! We also took a couple days off to explore Taipei area. A good trip. </p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="July28"></span>28 July 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Report of our Taiwan trip to our Professors. Potential troubleshooting methods for our lack of color included: adding a RFP reporter gene, sending the parts for seqeuencing, restarting construction from the beginning, and experimenting with arabinose concentrations. </p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="July29"></span>29 July 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Our IDT plasmids arrived! Realized only 1000ng of DNA came, thus began designing primers so that we could amplify the sequence (never designed primers before–Snapgene is a great tool!). Sangon agreed to be a donator! Rethinking about our physical installation. Thankful that NEB sent us free Q5 polymerase earlier in the summer.</p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="July30"></span>30 July 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Welcoming our new tech helper--Lewei (Richard) Huang! Also interviewed by The Good Life magazine! Figuring out the data transfer of our new installation. Sangon came to pick up our constructed plasmids for sequencing. Realized that iGEM primers are not common primers...we'll see how sequencing goes.</p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="July31"></span>31 July 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Went to Fudan University, had lunch with their team members, and learned about the sequencing process, using T-vecors, ordering primers, and general lab procedures. They also gave us their iGEM kits, since we ran out of luciferase generators (our last transformation didn't work). Thank you Fudan iGEM Team! </p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug3"></span>3 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Consulted Antonius about our coding difficulties and he offered some good suggestions. Two cameras running with one Processing sketch! Yay! Spencer is back from America, back to making chromoprotein constructs.</p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug4"></span>4 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Virtual Reality project still making progress. Xiangci still coding. Lab meeting held, and new lab policies established to make work more efficient (Friday is inventory check-day, pre-lab requirements, attendance time, etc.) </p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug5"></span>5 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Getting ready for the 8 iGEM Teams project exhibition at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. Gel extraction of digested backbones (PCR is probably a much more efficent way to do this). </p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug6"></span>6 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Code reconstructed and the we can produce live music now! Hurray! First PCR of the summer–amplified gBlocks recieved from IDT. Found out we needed to add luciferin + ATP to the luciferase generator to generate light.</p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug7"></span>7 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>PCR Purification came out imperfect (a 2.77 260:280 ratio?). Ran another PCR for less non-specific bands. Installation makers and coders hurry to prep for tomorrow.</p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug8"></span>8 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>iGEM Show at Shanghai Science and Technology Museum! Along with Fudan, Shanghai Jiaotong, Tongji Wetware, Tongji Software, Xian-Jiaotong Liverpool, and Zhejiang University. Our bacterial music generator and virtual reality simulations were a success!</p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug10"></span>10 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>Digested and ligated IDT sequences to backbone. If ligation went well, we should see color tomorrow...Sequencing results also back, and all of our previous constructs contained only GFP and CFP, not even a promoter. </p> | |
− | <h3><span id=" | + | <h3><span id="Aug11"></span>11 Aug 2015</h3> |
− | + | <p>No color. Realized that pBAD promoter is inhibited by glucose, and that we've been using SOC media (containing glucose) to do all our transformations. Lesson learned. Talked with Xian-Jiaotong Liverpool University as to how to produce color (they are also working with chromoproteins). Got our LED light strip for our plate stage. Did the test run on the laser cutter for the camera stand.</p> | |
+ | <h3><span id="Aug12"></span>12 Aug 2015</h3> | ||
+ | <p>Ann, Sohigh, and Spencer left for the Beijing University iGEMers Conference! Rachel, ZZ, Xiangci, and June are still working hard in Shanghai. </p> | ||
+ | <h3><span id="Aug13-15"></span>13-15 Aug 2015</h3> | ||
+ | <p>The Beijing Conference was a great experience. We were definitely awe-struck by the level of research and development of the other teams. We also got to try to 'perform' our project--we turned of all the lights on stage before our presentation and it was a wonderfully dramatic experience. Thank you Beijing University! And thank you many other teams (like Shanghai Ocean University and Northeast Forestry University for their advice on working with the pBAD promoter and chromoproteins, respectively. </p> | ||
+ | <h3><span id="Aug17"></span>17 Aug 2015</h3> | ||
+ | <p>Last week of iGEM for us (before we all leave to different countries). Everything is a big rush now. </p> | ||
+ | <h3><span id="Aug18"></span>18 Aug 2015</h3> | ||
+ | <p>Today Xian-Jiaotong Liverpool University drove all the way from Suzhou (2 hours) to send us plasmids, bacteria containing plasmids, and extra bacteria! THANK YOU XJLTU! They were also working with chromoproteins, and sent us their materials so that we could produce some color in the lab before we left. </p> | ||
+ | <h3><span id="Aug19"></span>19 Aug 2015</h3> | ||
+ | <p>Another filming day, this time the final project is completely put together--step sequencer, tube rack, and button control. We planned to start shooting at 10AM, but a lot of difficulties kept coming up, so we ended up starting the shoot around 4pm. It was a really great feeling being able to see everything put together. Today was ZZ and Xiangci's last day.</p> | ||
+ | <h3><span id="Aug20"></span>20 Aug 2015</h3> | ||
+ | <p>The last day together. We cleaned out the lab fridge. It was very painful throwing away the summer's work of plasmids. We cleaned out the IMA lab and we our classroom 307. We made a round of thank you's to all the administration who helped set up iGEM. The work is still not done... we have the film editing, wiki, VR, T-shirts, presentations, posters, etc. But the next time we meet as a full team will be in Boston. So this is the last daily update of our iGEM journey.</p> | ||
