Formal Meeting - 24th June 2010
- Start Time: 3pm
Roll call and Apologies
- Absent: Harsh, Younus, Steven
Previous meeting
- Summary of igem given to new advisors, Summary of two teams progress with Lab training and lacI/yneA Brick design.
Logo/ T-shirts
- T-shirt design looked over, T-shirt co. logo needs to be added and Welcome Trust logo needs to be bigger.
|Meeting at 9am Monday morning to try to finalise design.
Funding
- Letter to Andrew Young needs to be written asking for funds.
- Neil and Jen also need to apply for funding from Civil Engineering
lacI/yneA Brick
- yneA sequence done and sent for synthesis.
- Model needs more parameters and also inclusion of ftsZ
- Cloning strategy needs more detail
Lab Training
- Summary of Lab team's week is on the wiki
New Brick/Modelling
- Trying to create one or more BioBricks to upregulate Urease in order to produce more extracellular Calcium Carbonate
- Two Bricks:
- Upregulate rocF
- Downregulate ahrC by antisense mRNA
- A small problem is that 168 does not export Urease
- Examined SBML shorthand for Model, still needs more parameters
- No cloning strategy as of yet
Next week
- We our on our own in terms of orgaisation, cannot use small meeting room as base, cannot be in CBCB or lab without Neil or Wendy
- Two options for next brick :
- Quorum sensing
- Glue/Lysis
- Neil: Think about wow factor
- Need to design primers for lacI PCR
- Insert into pSB1AT3 in front of RFP
Testing on concrete
- Would be nice to do some mechanical modelling/testing on concrete
Gibson Cloning
- Advisors/Wendy will sort out
- Steven needs to have a look at creating software to design primers for it
- Jannetta could turn this into a web service
Jamboree
- Will go on Thursday night as better for getting acclimatised
- Fly out on 4th, return on 8th (arrival may actually be on 9th)
- Neil and Jen will book flights and accommodation
Other Business
- Can submit parts to the registry even though we do not have actual DNA
- Thursday 1st July 3pm next meeting
- Chair:Da
- Minutes:Alan
- Computer
Action Points
- Jannetta: Add T-shirt co. to logo, make Welcome trust bigger
- Write letter to Andrew Young
- Neil and Jen: Extract money from civ eng
- Neil and Jen: Book Fights and Accommodation
