MENU ▤

Document the dates you worked on your project.

What should this page have?
  • Chronological notes of what your team is doing.
  • Brief descriptions of daily important events.
  • Pictures of your progress.
  • Mention who participated in what task.
Inspiration

You can see what others teams have done to organize their notes:

Week 1 (6/27 - 7/2)

6/27

Cancer Group
  • PCR of 3xHA-TDGF1 construct
  • Gel of PCR Product → PCR was a failure
  • Second PCR of 3xHA-TDGF1 construct → left overnight
Interlab Study
  • Measured LUDOX and water for plate reader
  • Transformation of positive and negative controls, test devices 1-3

6/28

Cancer Group
  • Ran gel on PCR of yesterday's construct → Gel worked
  • Gel purification of PCR Product → low concentration of DNA found during nanodrop
  • PCR the construct using a revised method
  • 2:54pm → ran the gel on the PCR product
Interab Study
  • Heat and "SB" streaking seems not to have worked
  • No visible red colonies on plate

6/29

Cancer Group
  • PCR Not working well → keep trying new methods with different annealing temperatures
  • Tried 65 and 67 degrees C
Interlab Study
  • FITC started
  • Cutting re-inoculated
  • Ordered new LUDOX
Other
  • College of Arts and Sciences Pre College Summer Institute students stopped by lab
  • Spoke to them about information on synthetic biology and iGEM

6/30

Cancer Group
  • PCR worked → Test 5 → changed annealing temperature to 66 degrees C + increased the denaturing time
  • Nanodropped DNA
Vaccine Group
  • Things

7/1

Cancer Group
  • Digestion of TDGF-1 construct and YFP352GAP vector

    • Will add a table to this later

Vaccine Group
  • Things

7/2

Cancer Group
  • Running yesterday's digestion on gel

Week 2 (7/5-7/8)

7/5

Cancer Group
  • Ran the PCR'ed construct on a gel with Phire Polymerase → It didn't work
Vaccine Group
  • Things

7/6

Cancer group
  • Ran the construct with PCR on gel → it worked
  • Tasnia stabbed our gel
  • Interlab study continues
Vaccine Group
  • Things

7/7

Cancer group
  • Nanodrops were pretty low (84-120 ng/nl)
  • 11:46am PCR'ed the highest nanodrop result in tube #1 → PCR successful
  • 2:33pm → attempt to digest with remaining non-PCR product → removed from incubator at 5:00pm
  • Made a gel → ran PCR
Vaccine Group
  • Things

Week 3 (7/11-7//15)

7/11

Cancer group
  • Ran PCR on the construct (5x) → gel did not work
  • PCR'ed 84.2 ng/ml construct
  • 5 replicates made using Phire

  • Insert Table

  • Restreaking of YEP352GAP transformed cells for miniprep
  • Restreaking placed in incubator at 12am
Vaccine Group
  • Stuff & Things

7/12

Cancer group
  • Made gel for electrophoresis of PCR construct → it didn't work

  • Insert table here

  • LB liquid culture (3ml with 3ul of ampicillin)
  • Loaded 10ul Ladder DNA.
  • Loaded 1ul dye + 5ul PCR product
  • Ran gel at 115V
  • Checked gel ladder → faint, no band for the PCR product
  • Made new gel, loaded with the same amount of reagents as before → ran at 90V → No ladder band
  • Ran it again at 115V → visible ladder, no PCR band
  • Preparing a gel to run ladder and construct that previously showed a strong band → used this to diagnose a problem with gel setup. Ran TDGF1 152.9 Phire Child. Lane 1 is ladder, Lane 2 is that construct (10ul) with 2ul of dye
  • Setup new PCR using the 6/30/16 PCR construct
  1. 98°C → 30sec
  2. 98°C → 20sec
  3. 66°C → 5sec
  4. 72°C → 30sec
  5. 72°C → 1min
  6. 4°C → hold
Vaccine Group
  • Stuff & Things

7/13

Cancer group
  • Ran 5ul of PCR with ladder, cancer construct and vaccine construct → to diagnose problem with gel
  • Miniprep of Dean vector (3ml LB culture)
  • Purification of PCR product → nanodropped 16.4ug/ul
  • Nanodrop of:
  1. Yellow 7/13 construct NEB purified → 16.4ng/ml
  2. Blue gel purification → 48.7ng/ml
  3. Pink PCR purification 7/13 → 102.2ng/ml
  4. 7/13 -RK Vector 1 → 48.2ng/ml
  5. 7/13 -RK Vector 2 → 96.3ng/ml
Vaccine Group
  • Things
