3 August

Had iGEM team meeting

-Discussed ANZAAS Proposal

-Spoke about possibilities of using Geneart

-Discussed possible T-shirt designs

10 August

Had iGEM team meeting

-Took Team Photo


11 August

PCR of Taq

Taq with a DNA concentration of 40ng/µL was diluted to 1µM by addition of 24µL of MilliQ water to 1µL of the Taq plasmid. Primers were diluted to 100µM by adding 354µL to the forward primer with a concentration of 35.4 nmol and 405µL to the reverser primer with a concentration of 40.5nmol. The primers were further diluted to 0.2µM by adding 10µL of the primer to 490µL of milliQ water. The PCR reaction was then made by adding 25µL of Master Mix, 2.5µL of each primer, 5µL of Rnase free water and 15µL of 0.2µM Taq Plasmid.

The PCR

98º 60 Sec 1 cycle

98º 15 Sec then 72º 90 Sec 25 cycle

72º 5 min 1 cycle

16 August

Collaborated with the Sheffield team by participating in an over the phone survery about Human Practices

17 August

had team meeting

- discussed how we can get more sponsors

- talked about placing our order to gene art

- began filling out the form to send Pennstates survey to the ethics committee

- discussed results for modelling

- decided to fix optimise our previous PCR

18 August

called few companies seeking sponsorship enquired for booking flights and accomadation
