Next: swarming and subtilin nearly finished, YneA nearly coming back and LacI brick not sure how to test.

Informal meeting - 12th July 2010

  • Chair: Da, Minutes: Younus
  • Walton Library [3.30 - 5.00pm]

Cloning Strategies

5 parts to a Cloning Strategy:
  • The cloning strategies for each biobrick should contain the following sections in this order:
    1. Purpose and Justification
    2. Modelling
    3. Construction
    4. Cloning and Integration
    5. Testing and Characterising
Required Cloning Strategies
  • There are 8 cloning strategies which are required:
    • SR1 - finished!
    • YneA - biobrick nearly coming back - our most important biobrick!
    • LacI - not sure how to test this biobrick
    • 2 for Swarming (sfp and swrA) - cloning strategies nearly finished
    • 2 for Subtilin (immunity and production) - cloning strategies nearly finished
    • RocF (need to use Gibson method) - not started

So only the cloning strategy for SR1 is finished. 7 more to go!

Allocation of team members to cloning strategies:
  • YneA - Phil, Rach, Deena, Younus
  • LacI - Phil, Younus, Rachel
  • Swarming (2) - Harsh, Alan, Steve, Da
  • Subtilin (2) - Harsh, Alan, Steve, Deena
  • RocF - Harsh, Alan, Steve, Da

Wiki - Labbook

Everyone needs to carry out the following protocol for each day in the lab

  1. Aim
  2. Materials and Methods
  3. Procedure/Protocol
  4. Results
  5. Conclusion

Relevant photographs should be added and labelled

General:

  • Wiki checkers: Deena and Rachel (after altering/updating a page on the wiki, team members should send the links to the pages to the wiki checkers)
