Week 12 (7.31-8.6)

We got a chance to study at department of Health Education in Jiangxi Provincial Institute of Parasitic Disease for half a day.

Week 13 (8.7-8.13)

We noticed that the fluorescence value in treatment group was higher than the positive control group about JNFLS-CHINA high school team’s project. We had a talk about it by social media. To explore the potential cause, we advised them to use Flow Cytometer (FCM) to gather data. And we helped them design the protocol of experiment with details.

Week 14 (8.14-8.20)

During the G20 Summit held in Hangzhou, we shared our labs with them in summer.

Week 15 (8.21-8.27)

We Identified the production of the clone.

Transforming Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by Electroporation.

Week 16 (8.28-9.3)

We used confocal microscopy to observe the expression of GFP, and this transformation was negative.

We participated in the CCIC (Central China iGEM Consortium) held in Zhongshan University in Guangzhou.

Week 17 (9.4-9.10)

Transforming Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by Electroporation again.

We helped NEU-China to test the expression of tCas9-CIBN and got the accurate data about the induced concentration of arabinose.

Week 18 (9.11-9.17)

Week 20 (9.18-9.24)

We screened the transformants of C. reinhardtii. The greens in the figure are positive for transformation.
