Incertion of Promoter + RBS in pSB3T5
Done by: Christian and Louise
Parts used: J13002 (promoter+RBS) and pSB3T5
Restriction and Gel extraction
Protocol: [RD1.1]
Notes: We made 2 Restriction mixtures which both were 4 times the mixture in the protocol. We also added 10 ul less water and 10 ul more PCR product than discribed in the protocol
Restriction mixture
- 38 ul Water
- 4 ul EcoRI enzyme
- 4 ul PstI enzyme
- 8 ul Fast Digest green buffer
- 30 ul PCR product (Freeze tube white 25 PROMOTER + RBS)
OR
- 30 ul PCR product (Freeze tube white 29 PLASMID)
Loading:
2 x 21 ul J13002 was loaded on a 2% gel with a 100-1000bp ladder. The Restricted J13002 is 95bp.
2 x 21 ul pSB3T5 was loaded on a 1.5% gel with a 100-10,000 ladder. The restristricted plasmid is 3215bp.
Result:
The picture shows a band around 100bp.
The picture showes two bands, one around 3000bp which is the plasmid and one around 1000bp, which is RFP.
Purification of J13002 and pSB3T5
Protocol:
Notes: four tubes were marked and weighed (all had a mass of 1g). Bands were cut from the restriction gels, added to the tubes and weighed.

Follow-up colony PCR
Date: 26/7
Methods: Colony PCR
Protocol: CP1.3
Experiment done by: Maria, LC
Notes: We made a sample for every plate from the last colony PCR. Out of the 29 samples we could only run 25 at once in the PCR machine. Plate 23 was missing, so there is no sample for it.
Results: 
Lengths of PCR products:
1200: 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 14, 21, 26
1500: 13
1750: 2
1900: 8, 25
2000: 3, 7, 12, 18, 19, 24
2200: 20
2500: 11, 17
Colonies 1, 15, 16 and 22 gave no result.
Analysis: Since we had so many different lengths, we will cut one from each length, specifically colony: 2, 8, 11, 13, 20, 24, 26.
Restriction digest of PCR product from 26/7
Date: 26/7
Methods: Restriction digest
Protocol: RD1.1
Experiment done by: Maria, LC
Notes: We took one of each length PCR product and cut them with XbaI and PstI. The especially interesting one was sample 26, since we suspected it to be a succesful ligation. If it is FlhD,C we would expect it to get cut like this:
We loaded the cut and uncut sample next to each other. They got loaded as follows and RFP was used as a control:

Results: 
Analysis: Sample 26 looks very close to the right lengths, so we will prepare some of the 1200 BP length PCR products for sequencing.
Miniprep of follow-up colony PCR
Date: 27/7
Methods: ON, Miniprep
Protocol: MP1.1
Experiment done by: LC
Notes: Samples L4, L5, L6, L9, L10, L14, L21 and L26 (L for ligation from the follow-up colony PCR) miniprepped and NinaB samples from the 4 frozen cultures of it.
Results: 
All ligations were around the same length, just under 2000 BP. Even though the correct length should have been about 1000 BP longer, this is not surprising since uncut plasmids often show 1000 BP less in length. NinaB was also too short and there was a second band showing higher up in the gel (weird!). The concentrations averaged around 80ng/ul for the samples.
Analysis: We decided to do a new miniprep where we start with a higher concentrated overnight culture, which we will achieve through boosting the ON before doing the miniprep.
Restriction digest of PCR product from 26/7
start date: 27/7
Methods: Restriction digest, gel electrophoresis
Protocol:RD1.1
Experiment done by: Maria, LC
Notes:
All colonies with PCR products of 1200bp (see Follow up coloni PCR) was digested with XbaI and PstI.
Coloni #4,5,6,9,10,14 and 21 was selected.
Digested RFP PCR product (#6 from Coloni PCR) was used as controle.
If it is FlhD,C we would expect it to get cut like this:
Digested samples were loaded along with undigested ones. Samples were loaded onto a 2% gel. Hyper ladder 2 was used as marker.

Results:
gel electrophoresis:
Analysis:
The lanes containing digested PCR product from coloni #5, 6 and 21 have a band smear around 100-200bp,and a band at around 800bp.
This may indicate correct inserted flhD/C.
ON cultures are made of each of these colonies to use for boost Miniprep.

Miniprep of ligation plasmids
start date: 27/7
Methods: miniprep, gel electrophoresis, nanodrop
Protocol:MP1.3
Experiment done by: LC
Notes:
Miniprep was made of ON cultures of coloni #5,6 and 21 (see Follow up coloni PCR)
Samples were loaded onto a 1.5% agarose gel. Gener ruler DNA ladder mix was used as marker.
Loading scheme:

Results:
Gel electrophoresis:
Analysis:
we have purified the plasmids.The concentrations are high but not as high as expected when the cells are boosted prior to the miniprep.
In order to obtain an even higher concentration transfer all 5mL ON culture to 20mL pre heated LB media. run all 25mL new culture as 1 miniprep.
Due to the low concentrations we need to dry down our samples before they are ready for sequentation.

Digestion and gel extraction of pSB3C5 and J13002
Done by: Pernille
Date: the 26th of july
Protocol: [RD1.1] and gelpurificaton (DE1.3)
Notes:because the concentration for both plasmid and biobrick is rather small I dobbelt the volumen of the reagent compared to the protocol. in the soultion contaning the brick the volumen of the PCR product was triple and to adjust the total volumen i added 5ul less water. We made 2 Restriction mixtures which both were 4 times the mixture in the protocol. both the plasmid and brick was cut at the E and P site. After the cutting the plasmid and brick was run on seperate gels because of there different size. the plasmid on a 1,5% gel and brick on a 2% agarose gel. When I observed the gel under the UV lamp the was no visible band on the gel were the brick was loaded. therefore it was only possible to do DNA extrated from the gel contraining the plasmid. The Dna was eluted in 10ul of water and I eluted two times. The DNA concentration was measured on the NaonDrop and was found to 55,41ng/ul for the first elution and 28,03ng/ul for the second. the to samples are pooled and stored in a freeze tube.
Group: Retinal
Colony PCR and extraction of ninaB gene from transformants
Start date: 24/7
Methods: colony pcr, fermentas fast digest
Protocols: CP1.3, RD1.1
Colony PCR on transformants using ninaB fwd and rw primers
Date: 24/7
Done by: Christian
Methods: Colony PCR
protocos: CP1.3
Primers were prepared by ellution to 100uM for storage, and again by a factor 10 for the reaction. 10 wells were loaded, and their colonies were streaked.
Annealing temperature set to 55°C and elongation set to 2 minutes, otherwise standard taq protocol was followed.
Results:_Expected length at 1920 BP did not show. In fact no bands showed, except somethin like a primer smear around 100bp.
Analysis: Anealing temperature might have been set to high, as the primers were constructed to aneal at 55°. another run will be done on miniprepped plasmids, with a different program.
Restriction digest on miniprepped pOT2 plasmids with ninaB insert using EcoRI
Date: 27/7
Done by: Christian
Methods: Restriction digest
protocos: RD1.1
A restriction digest was carried out to determine the length of the pOT2 plasmid and insert. protocol was followed to point, using miniprep as template dna.
Results: strange things going on at different lengths, and nothing matches the expected length of about 3800BP.
Analysis: Another digest is needed to show that plasmid length is wrong, as it seems unlikely with comercial plasmids.
Restriction digest on miniprepped pOT2 plasmids with ninaB insert using EcoRI and XhoI
Date: 28/7
Done by: Christian
Methods: Restriction digest
protocos: RD1.1
A restriction digest was carried out to determine the length of the pOT2 plasmid and insert. protocol was followed to point, using miniprep as template dna. Both XhoI and EcoRI were used, as these were the enyzmes originally used to create insert and cut plasmid for ligation according to [http://www.fruitfly.org/EST/faq.html#gh-zapii fruitfly] under the GH section, which our pOT2 plasmids falls under. protocol was followed to point, except for the digest running for 2 hours.
results: Digest showed a band close to the 3.8kb marker expected for the full length plasmid, concurrent with only one digest working. (although an earlier digest with EcoRI alone showed a different band.) Miniprepped plasmid had also "moved up" the ladder
analysis: Something fishy is up with this plasmid, and the digest. one more will be run only using XhoI.
Restriction digest on miniprepped pOT2 plasmids with ninaB insert using EcoRI and XhoI
Date: 28/7
Done by: Christian
Methods: Restriction digest
protocos: RD1.1
A restriction digest was carried out to determine the length of the pOT2 plasmid and insert. protocol was followed to point, using miniprep as template dna. XhoI was used as cutting enzyme, and digest was allowed to run for 30 mins.There were problems with the first gells, so a second gel was run.
results: Gel showed a band between 3.5K and 4k markers, consistent with earlier results, indicating that the plasmid and insert have correct length. Strangely the cut segment has traveled further through the gell than the un-cut control.
analysis: There realy is something fishy going on, or as we say in Denmark, there are owls in the marsh. At least the plasmid seems correct.
Ligation of J13002 promotor rbs into pSB3T5 assembly plasmid.
Start date: 26/7
Methods: Restriction Digest, Gel Extraction, Ligation, Transformation (not done by me) and colony pcr
Protocols: CP1.3, LG1.3, RD1.1, DE1.3
Restriction digest, Gel extracton and ligation of BBa_J13002 and pSB1C3
Date: 27/7
Done by: Christian
Methods: Restriction digest, Gel extraction, ligation and transformation (not by me)
protocos: RD1.1, DE1.3, LG1.3
Restriction digest using EcoRI and PstI and gel extraction were done following protocol. at beginning of ligation concentrations were: 3.7ng/ul part at 95BP and 8ng/ul plasmid at 3215BP. four tubes were run, 1 at 3:1 ration, two at 6:1 and one at 9:1. iGEM consensus protocol was followed, with 20ng vector as starting point. Tubes were cooled for transformations in the morning.
Results: Quite low concentrations were reached, but the iGEM protocol should ensure the same molar ratio and total concentration as was planned for.
Analysis: Everything is going according to plan for now.
colony PCR using taq on ligated BBa_J13002 in pSB1C3
Date: 28/7
Done by: Christian
Methods: colony pcr
protocos: CP1.3
Colony pcr was run on 8 colonies, and plates were streaked and incubated at 37° ON. protocol was followed to point, with enzyme added to mix. PErhaps too little colony was scraped of original plates, and some tubes were defective, letting out steam during pcr.
Results: A band showed at around 300bp in well 4.1. The expected length was 312bp. wells3.3 and 3.4 show a band outside the blue ladder, that could be rfp (since this was the original insert.) tube 3.2 was ruined.
Analysis: Well 3.2 shows promising results. ON and miniprep will be made, and it will be sent for sequencing.
