The following overview highlights our achievements:

THIS IS A SUGGESTED LISTING

 

  • MAGE Subtilis
    • Knock out of upp and amyE
      • ​Identified that upp and amyE are not optimal selection targets for knockout mutations.
      • We were not able to duplicate Sun2015 and knock out the upp locus using 2kb ssDNA using oligos.
    • Growth experiment for mutants
      • ​We identified that the growth rate of the B. subtilis with a recombinase grew faster than the wild type. This is conflicting with the results by Sun2015 
      • Identified that the mismatch-repeare knockout did not change growth rate.
    • Protocol for multiple OGRE cycles in B. subtilis 168
      • ​Quantified colony picking to be an ineffective method of quantifying OGRE frequency.
      • Showed that the knockout of mutS has a profound efffect on the transformation frequency compared to the wildtype.
    • Optimal amount of oligo for OGRE
      • The optimal amount of oligo was identified. 
    • OD calculator = Dilution calculator
      • ​We made a calculator that could compute the appropriate dilution from the OD600 measured.
