Notebook

Tuesday, August 30th

Results:

While GFP and the Gibson kit positive control had colonies, the gRNA Gibson product (Tet) and positive transformation control (Cam) did not yield colonies.

The gRNA Gibson has falied grow the past two times we transformed it, so we’re suspicious that it might not be a problem with the Gibson assembly, because the Gibson control has grown on Amp.

Tasks:

Jordan

  • Made Cam and Tet plates from the LB Kelly gave us
    • Two bottles of 250 mL each
    • Added 3.75 grams of Bacto agar to each bottle and autoclaved, cooled to 55°C in water bath
    • Added 250 uL of Cam and Tet to respective media
    • Poured approximately 20 plates of each
    • Wrapped in foil and placed in the fridge

Michelle

  • Troubleshot transformation plating
  • Started running a western blot on TetR-Cas9 and Assembled Cas9 (in triplicate) with Ben from the Jewett lab

Sam

  • Worked on questions for Dr. Postelnick
  • To do: set up a meeting (or maybe just email?) Dr. Tullman-Ercek
    • Ask whether she knows of any good delivery mechanisms to get large proteins to the periplasm
    • Cas9 size
    • What pathways we’re already trying
