First week in lab! Microbiology boot camp. How to pour plates, PCR, miniprep, gel electrophoresis. Researching project ideas.
Settle on bacterial adhesion. Further background research. Plasmid design, primer design. Choose fusion peptides. Order gBlocks from IDT of Rhamnose, Lac, and Arabinose promoters.
PCR backbones and fim proteins. Pour Chlor and Amp plates. Gibson assembly of operon plasmid and fimH plasmid. Pili purification assay development. NEGEM Meetup #1.
Redo failed PCRs. Redo failed Gibsons. Transform and plate operon Gibson. Pili purification and agglutination assay development. Microscopy on control strains.
Miniprep operon plasmid. Sent for sequencing. Unsuccessful- redo operon PCRs.
Induction. Operon Gibson. Agglutination assay development.
Induction. Edit out illegal PstI cut site from fimH. Mutagenesis to add binding peptides.
Induction. Transform measurement study parts. Mutagenesis to add binding peptides.
Induction. Nickel binding assay. Made biobricks for pRha-fimH and fimH. PCR-ing out from parts we were using with low-copy backbone, Gibson with pSB1C3.
Induction. Induction. More Induction. Nickel binding assay. Stainless steel binding assay. Cancer binding assay. Made biobricks, sent for sequencing.
Induction. Induction. More Induction. Nickel binding assay. Stainless steel binding assay. Cancer binding assay. Retried failed biobricks.
Break from lab.
Break from lab.
Wiki and presentation planning.
Retried failed biobricks. Obtained results for Rhamnose-GFP inductions. Made presentation. NEGEM Meetup #2!
Worked on parts pages. Worked on wiki.
iGEM Giant Jamboree!!!
