Minutes for formal meeting 1st April 2010 |
* Room: Claremont 922; Start: 3 pm |
* Chair: Rachel, Minutes: Harsh, Computer: Rachel |
1. Roll call and apologies |
Apologies - Steven, Younus, Da, Alan, Phil |
2. Approval of agenda and minutes |
Approved |
3. Brief summary of previous meeting |
4. Research Feedback |
1. Biobrick 1 (CaCO3/ Urease)
Biobrick tutorial taught last to last week by Anil on Urease. Urease has a complicated genetic circuit. Should start forming questions which would help in building the egnetic circuit of the biobrick. |
2. Biobrick 2 (End of crack and signalling system)
Need to search for the peptides which are to be used for quorum sensing. |
3. BIobrick 3 (Non target environment kill switch)
There are not many biobricks in the iGEM registry on bacterial lysis. There is a lot of data on lysis by Richard on the wiki. WE should start looking up for ftsZ and SOS system for lysis and a biobrick can be made early based on this and can be characterized. Need to look up on ftsZ paper. Bacterial Time Bomb. |
4. BioBrick 4 (Spider silk & filamentous cells)
Read the 2 papers sent by Anil on glue and spider silk. |
5. BioBrick 5 (glue and lysis) |
6. BioBrick 6 Sequential Programming
Modelling is almost at an end. (Richard) |
6. Visa/Passport update
Harsh called but didn't get any dates for the month of June so will be applying in July again. Send visa draft document to Anil- Harsh |
6. Travel plans
Too early to book flights and hotels. May have other members joining. |
7. Tutorial
Formal demonstration of Clone Manager next week - Anil |
8. Flow Chart
Media:Flowchart_overview-1-.ppt There are 3 sensing systems: A) Are the cells at an optimal density? B) Sensing system for glue production C) End of crack signalling |
9. Timeline (Janetta)
Put timeline up on the current wiki. |
10. Other business
None |
11. Action points
1. Send the email to Colin Harwood (Richard) 2. Someone ask Anil to put the powerpoint presentation of the tutorial in the dropbox 3. Booking for the rooms - Jen |
14. Next meeting 11am on 070410 for informal meeting in Walton library and 3pm on 070410 for formal meeting in CBCB
