Tasks:

Jordan

  • Transformed J04550 RFP part to amplify for gRNA construct
    • Resuspended Kit Plate 4, well 2H in 10 uL of water, transformed 2 uL of that into 50 uL comp cells
    • Plated 50 and 100 uL
  • Transformed competent cell test
    • 7 test conditions: 50, 20, 10, 5, and .5 pg/uL of RFP plasmid (part J04550) and 1.11 ng/ul and 8.9 ng/ul of pSB1C3 + tet plasmid
    • Transformed 1 ul of each
    • Did two replicate plates of each

Michelle

  • PCR INP part out of the iGEM registry
  • 10 uL dH2O, pipet up and down, sit 5 min
  • Transformed INP biobrick
    • Transformed using 1 uL of diluted DNA from plate
    • Followed bootcamp protocol except:
      • 50 mL competent cells instead of 100 mL
      • 450 uL SOC instead of 900 uL
