NotebookMarchBrainstorming Project Ideas
The chosen project
Project outlinePossible things to consider:
AprilSub-groupsWe divided the team into sub-groups. Each group assumed responsibility for a different aspect of the project. Wiki and Mascot Design This group is responsible to obtaining and uploading all necessary information to the wiki. This includes team pictures and biographies, experiments and results, and the projects of the other sub-groups. This will be a priority over mascot design.Leader: Erin Kelly
This group must document the safety protocols that the Lethbridge team practices in the lab.Leader: Marissa Guzzi
This group is responsible for letting the public know what our team is and what we are doing. This can be done creatively. The point is to raise awareness for iGEM, synthetic biology, and diabetes.Leader: Chris Isaac WHMIS tests and Safety TrainingWe are required to have safety training in order to work in the lab, and so we all wrote our WHMIS tests and did our Hazards Assesment and lab orientation! MayMay 8, 2012: Tansformation of Parts from Kit Plate and Growing Cells from Glycerol StocksTransformation of parts from kit plate:
May 9, 2012: Miniprep and Restriction of PartsOvernight cultures from May 8th were miniprepped and restricted in order to determine sizes.
Master mix was prepared by mixing the ingredients together in order, as shown above. 20µL worth of master mix was combined with 5µL of plasmid DNA:
Restrictions were incubated at 37˚C for 30mins then stored at -20˚C.
