Week 1

6/07/2012

Wet Lab Today we transformed both versions of cph8 from 2012 Distribution.

Dry Lab We also placed order for the following new BioBricks:

  • BBa_K207001 - PhyB-DBD Fusion
  • BBa_K422012 - Pif3 (Aar1 C part)
  • BBa_K422013 - PhyB (Aar1 C part)
  • BBa_K592006 - pFixK2
  • BBa_K592004 - YF1
  • BBa_K592005 - FixJ
  • BBa_K592000 - Cph8
  • BBa_K365000 - Pif3

In addition, we brainstormed and developed a new idea to use the PYP/GCN system to activate a gene.
