Week 1

  • 6/4/2012: First round of project planning, lab clean-up, general outline for summer.

  • 6/5/2012: Second round of project planning, lab clean-up, research into Johns Hopkins 2008 summer project.

  • 6/6/2012: Third and final round of project planning, final lab clean-up, research into the pigment pathways and reporter genes, analysis of Cambridge project.

  • 6/7/2012: Broke down Johns Hopkins 2008 project, results in wiki, found pigments for A and a, found possible fluorescence colors, found possible proteins.

  • 6/8/2012: Research on Promoters, updated Next Actions.

Week 2

  • 6/11/2012: Identified a positive feedback loop that's been done in yeast before and a possible selection scheme, started plasmid mapping, set up server for wiki, began wiki design and looked at color schemes, block-diagrammed positive feedback loop, ate a whole tray of brownies.

  • 6/12/2012: Found gene sequences, continued work on graphic for top of Wiki, looked for selection schemes, shot down selection schemes.

  • 6/13/2012: Fluorescence construct, research on Gibson assembly and gateway vectors, updated wiki to make it more functional, talked about selection schemes, obtained 2 posters, tooks some pics.

  • 6/14/2012: Preparation for Journal Club, lunch with IRC and Math REU people, checked for sequences for plasmid construction.

  • 6/15/2012: Used Gene Designer to do primilary sequencing of plasmid, research on spacing of plasmid.

Week 3

  • 6/18/2012: Optimized DNA sequences, found all of the filler DNA.

  • 6/19/2012: Talked with Dr. Almaas, started web design, took pictures with storm troopers, team movie night.

  • 6/20/2012: Web design, learned HTML.

  • 6/21/2012: Web design, preliminary website up, team lunch, IRC meeting.

  • 6/22/2012: Individual work day.

Week 4

  • 6/25/2012: Group discussion, work on school website, organization of collected information.

  • 6/26/2012: Obtained shirts, found and organized all sequences, started to verify sequences, school page is 85% done.

  • 6/27/2012: Changes to DNA sequences, worked on finalization of sequence, looked at a 3D modeling program, contacted original DNA company about sequencing.

  • 6/28/2012: Worked on finalizing the sequence, identified materials needed for Gibson assembly, went to IRC presentation on grad. school/UC from Rose Undergraduate.

  • 6/29/2012: Individual work day.

Team Break Week

Week 5

  • 7/9/2012: Got back from break. Learned DNA had not shipped yet. :( Worked on wiki.

  • 7/10/2012: Worked on wiki.

  • 7/11/2012: Received edited version of what original DNA company will do to our DNA sequences. We compared them to the originals and prepared questions for original DNA company.

  • 7/12/2012: Talked to original DNA company about questions.

  • 7/13/2012: Individual work day.

Week 6

  • 7/16/2012: Decided to use GeneArt for sequences instead of original DNA company.

  • 7/18/2012: Brainstormed ideas for side projects while waiting for DNA shipment.

  • 7/19/2012: Continued brainstorm, expanding into Human Practices.

  • 7/20/2012: Created teams: Wiki, Presentation, Poster, and Maya.

  • 7/21/2012: Met in teams to plan and brainstorm. Added Team Board Game.

Week 7

  • 7/23/2012: Devon and Kristen began planning the THCM exhibit.

  • 7/24/2012: Continued work in Teams. Began intial research into pathway for modeling.

  • 7/25/2012: Continued work in Teams; added Team Modeling.

  • 7/26/2012: Continued work in Teams.

  • 7/27/2012: Continued work in Teams, lunch with IRC people

Week 8

  • 7/30/2012: Ironed out wiki formatting, began adding content, continued Maya animation.

  • 7/31/2012: Lab work, continued adding content to wiki.

  • 8/1/2012: Lab work, added more content to wiki, got update on additional computer for Maya animation, made significant progress on math model, Rose-Hulman team page went live.

  • 8/2/2012: Lab work, continued work in Teams.

  • 8/3/2012: Lab work, continued work in Teams.
