Paul

  • Submitted sequencing order
  • Ran gel salt test (salt+ diH2O *not autoclaved)
    • Added 1 uL of salt solution to mixture:
      • Ladder:
        • 2 uL ladder
        • 6 uL blue dye
        • 1 uL salt solution
      • Tet lin for Cas9 (~2.2 kb):

    • Should’ve added 1 uL of diH2O to control for the addition of impure water, but instead added nothing (5 uL DNA+ 1 uL dye)
  • Plated high copy Cam resistant cells from Patrick on our Cam plates, incubated

Sara

  • Made cam plates

Tasfia

  • Premixed sequencing rxns, “Recipe” based off of 7.26.2016 doc
  • Poured culture media for tet plates (3 mL of 5 mg/mL Tet antibiotic)

Tyler

  • Premixed sequencing rxns
  • Ordered mRFP linearizing primer
  • Blasted a few sequences for mathematical modeling, started looking into Kanamycin resistance
