Weekly Summaries

Week 1

Went through basic molecular biology lab skills and techniques with the new members. Extracted most of the existing parts required for our project from the iGEM 2012 Spring distribution plates, transformed and amplified the DNA for future use.

Week 2

DNA extraction & purification (miniprep) of last week's transformed parts, & gel runs to confirm lengths. Sequencer was broken so we could not confirm sequence, but most parts' lengths turned out ok. Ligations to put together some common combinations (eg promoter + RBS).

Week 3

Extraction & amplification of more basic parts from the distribution plates, plus ligation of a few more parts. Not much progress due to lab being closed for Obon holidays.
