Monday, September 19th

Tasks:

Paul

  • Submitted sequencing:
    • 22-27: TorA m2 through TorA m4 (two of each, e.g. m2.1=22, m2.2=23)
    • 28-33: YcdO m2 through m4
    • 34-39: AmiA m2 through m4
  • Received sequencing for TorA: Pretty decent, most of them look good. Some point mutations on some
