Welcome To Our Notebook

"Science is nothing else but the art of proper reproducibility. "


The iGEM experience is not merely a project or a conference, but it was the way that most of our students got acquainted with the world of biological research laboratory. Pipettes, solutions, gels, electrodes, dishes and other scary machinery quickly filled our lives. From day one we saw the vast importance of teaching our students to keep a proper laboratory journal. As time passed and our project grew., and with growth sprouted the idea of keeping an electronic laboratory journal with texts and video’s depicting the proper way of doing our niche of science. And so, we present to you our combined effort a text and video version

Transformation of competent cells

Transformation is the process of introducing foreign DNA (e.g plasmids, BAC) into a bacterium. Bacterial cells into which foreign DNA can be transformed are called competent. Some bacteria are naturally competent (e.g B. subtilis), whereas others such as E. coli are not naturally competent. Non-competent cells can be made competent and then transformed via one of two main approaches; chemical transformation and electroporation. It is important to note we have tested transformations of the distribution kit with this protocol.Read more...

Mini Prep

This protocol is designed for purification of up to 20 μg of high-copy plasmid DNA from 1–5 ml overnight cultures of E. coli in LB (Luria-Bertani) medium Read more...

Notebook protocols utilized by the molecular tools subteam

Restriction enzyme digestion

BioBrick standard biological parts are flanked by well characterized upstream and downstream sequences which are technically not considered part of the BioBrick part (aka prefix and suffix). These up/down stream segments contain restriction sites for specific restriction enzymes, which allows for the simple creation of larger BioBrick parts by chaining together smaller ones in any desired order.
