 +
</br></br>
 +
<U>Method:</U></br>
 +
1.Thaw cells from -80°C on ice, thaw plasmid at 37°C and store on ice, aliquot cells for 50 &#181;L/vial.</br>
 +
2. Add 50 pg plasmids to each 50 &#181;L of competent cells vial and tap gently. Here, add 12.5&#181;L of DNA.</br>
 +
3. Place on ice for 30 min. Meanwhile, warm LB agar plates from cold room in 37°C non shaking incubator.</br>
 +
4. Place cells in 42°C water bath for exactly 40 seconds and then place immediately on ice for at least 3 min.</br>
 +
5. Add 500 &#181;L of SOC in each tube and place them to shaking incubator (incline tube for better shaking efficiency).</br>
 +
6. Grow for 40 minutes at 37°C in shaking incubator at 150 rpm.</br>
 +
7. Near Bunsen burner flame, add 45 &#181;L of competent cells +135&#181;L  of SOC or 200 &#181;L aliquots of culture and streak plate with sterile rake on LB-agar plates containing the appropriate antibiotic.</br>
 +
8. Place plates inverted in the static 37°C incubator overnight. </br>
 +

 +
<U>Results:</U></br>
 +
The transformation works we had a lot of colonies, we stored them at 4°C to stop their growth.

      <h2>introduction to labWORK</br> FOR middle school student </h2>

      <p>The idea was to show in a very concrete way what are laboratory manipulations about. Thus bacterial culture and staining, plasmid DNA isolation, and protein crystals observation were conducted. The school Science, Technology and Maths teachers were also present. Gender equality in science observation and reporting was also also one of the points that was highlighted during the sessions</br></br> <img class="photo" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2016/4/4f/Lab_at_school.jpg" width=70% alt="" /img></p>

              <U>What we did in the lab:</U></br>
 +
              <U>Materials:</U></br>
 +
&bull; Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography</br>
 +
&bull; Chaotropic reagent (Guanidinium 6M)</br>
 +
&bull; EDTA 0,1M</br>
 +
&bull; PMSF (100mM)</br>
 +
&bull; Ni 2+ solution (100mM)</br>
 +
&bull; Centrifuge (labo deshmukh)</br>
 +
&bull; Buffer A (50mM Tris, 150mM of NaCl)</br>
 +
&bull; Buffer B (50mM Tris, 150mM of NaCl, 250mM Imidazole, pH=7.4)</br></br>
 +
 
 +
<U>Method:</U></br>
 +
Melt the pellet of bacteria C2 (from 1L culture) and resuspend it with 10ml of buffer A. We had 25ml of pellet we complete until 40ml with buffer A.</br>
 +
Add 40 ul of PMSF</br>
 +
Put the column off the FPLC and wash it with 20 ml of milliQ water thanks to a fingerpit ans a syringue.</br>
 +
Add 20ml of chaotropic reagent to denaturate the proteins fixed to the column</br>
 +
Wash the column with 20ml of water</br>
 +
Add 10ml of EDTA to clean it from nickel</br>
 +
Wash with 20ml of water</br>
 +
Add 5ml of Ni solution to charge the column. The column turns green.</br>
 +
Wash with 20ml of water</br>
 +
Sonicate the sample three times one minute at 60%, wait 90 seconds between each sonication.</br> Finally, the sample is 40 ml, add 40 ul of PMSF to avoid protein denaturation.</br>
 +
Centrifuge 25 min at 16000g (rotor JA 25.50)</br>
 +
Inject your sample in the FPLC</br>
 +
Get back several samples:</br>
 +
&bull; C: Crude extract : before centrigugation</br>
 +
&bull; P: Pellet</br>
 +
&bull; SN: Supernatant</br>
 +
&bull; F: Flow through (unfixed proteins)</br>
 +
&bull; W: Wash 5% of buffer B </br>

      <p>On Thursday June 16th, the iGEM Pasteur team went to attend a "Jeu à débattre" that was hosted by the association, "arbre des connaissances". This is a debate practice or round table where several synthetic biology processes are made available to a few villages, and the inhabitants have to decide for the pros and cons of acquiring them, considering environmental, economical, and health benefits. Our role was to advise the players during the game, and then to have a little debate about synthetic biology and the ethical and moral questions it raises. We also addressed the “legal” aspect as viewed from the point of view of French and US Law </br></br><img class="photo" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2016/d/d2/Carte-de-lagglom%C3%A9ration.jpg" width=100% alt="" /img></p>

 +
<U>Method:</U></br> The protocol in step 1 ask for spinning at 6000g but we can only achieve 3500 g so we used 3500 g for 8 minutes. We will follow most of the protocol of QIAGEN Miniprep 2016 except for a few modifications, which we describe, therefore, below.</br>

This event was the highlight of our summer. The attendees of the MeetUp were people from iGEM Paris Bettencourt, iGEM Evry, iGEM Ionis, iGEM UPMC (IMPACT), iGEM Aix-Marseille (one member), and iGEM Paris Saclay. We indeed had to abide to strong security requirements considering current state of Emergency in France. </br></br> <img  class="photo" src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2016/3/37/ILE_DE_FRANCE.jpg" width=100% alt="" /img></p>

      <h2>Meeting with EID </h2>
 
      <p>Méditerranée (Entente Interdépartementale de Démoustication = Interdepartmental Mediterranean board for the control of mosquito). This organization is in charge of the fight against mosquito epidemics, which is recognized as a mission of public interest, for the Ministry of Health in France. Therefore EID is acting by delegation of authority, in a similar level as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the US.</br></br>
 
  
Our interview with <B>Gregory Lambert</B> (medical entomologist, coordinator of EID) has allowed us to have more information on mosquito behavior: </br>&bull;Questions such as: How to lure them into the traps? </br>&bull;What are the strategic areas to place our kit?</br> &bull;How to optimize prevention? </br></br>All these details have allowed us to work in a more targeted way, so that our project is as efficient as possible, taking into account the mosquito lifestyle and optimizing safety for surrounding populations.
