Notebook
You should make use of the calendar feature on the wiki and start a lab notebook. This may be looked at by the judges to see how your work progressed throughout the summer. It is a very useful organizational tool as well.
Team 2: Poseidon - Save the World
Day 1: Sep 1 ,2010
- Primer design:
|
- Note:
- For all of our construct assembly ,we designed XbaⅠrestriction site at 5’ end and SpeⅠat 3’ end.
- We design the plus strain & minus strain of RBS (BBa_B0034), Biobrick cloning site prefix, and suffix, then we can anneal complementary single strain into double strain fragments. There is an additional adenine at 3' end of each single strain, it is designed for ligation on pGEM®-T Easy Vector (Promega).
