Want to know what we've been up to this summer? Need to know how to structure your Synthetic Biology School Workshop? Or do you just want to check out some pictures of our project? No worries, just sit back and relax! We've compiled a whole host of videos and images to give you a taste of what we've been up to.

Assembly Strategy for LytC
Gel confirming that DNA (pSB1C3 and pSB1AK3 with BOO14) has been digested properly by PstI and EcoRI.
Gel of PCR confirming pSB1C3 has been amplified.
Picture estimating the concentration of purified BOO14 and pSB1C3.
Colony PCR to detect sucessfully transformed bacteria.
3 PCR reactions to determine the most effective protocol to amplify the CWB.
Gel of a diagnostic digest of the vector confirming that the terminator has been inserted.
