Meeting Friday 6/15/12

Recap of the Past Week’s WorkTried to find a team to

collaborate with Made iGEM twitter

Made competent cells in bulk – currently testing that they are competent

Discussed 3A vs. Gibson Assembly

Quote for OmpA – Silicatein from DNA2.0

Start transformation of parts for AIDA construct

Assigned and divided projects

Division of ProjectsRachel – Characterizing

silica, toolbox, design experiments for SBP

Rubeena – Design experiments

Mrudula – Construction of AIDA, modeling with JMP

August – help with AIDA and start testing with OmpA-Silicatein

Amanda – Experimental design for AIDA and biofilm characterization, make reagents for each day

Plan for the Next WeekTransform parts for

AIDA construction Start 3A assembly of

partsStart Modeling with

JMPResearch ways to

characterize parts Start designing

experiments to extract quanitative data

Journal Review!Read a paper on syn

bio and write a summary report and post it on dop box

Read another paper that is found in the drop box?

Summary Papers help with finding info faster

Keep up with syn bio world and gather ideas

To Do for Next Week

Everyone needs to research a paper in either: An aspect of the overall

project Syn Bio

Research assays to do for silica and biofilm formation and present pros and cons Also what do we need to

order??Update on

formations/assembly
