    To-Do List:

    • Digest I12006 H (2005) and I12006 AB (2006) with XbaI/SpeI and check lengths
    • Transform cells with I12006 AB (2005)
    • Transform cells with UT1 AB, UT2 EF, UT4 AB
      • Try to find the UT4 used to make a measurement (that was successful)
    • Digest I12006 AB (2005) with SpeI/PstI
      • Ligate I12006 AB (2005) and E0240 (purified DNA from Oct4)

    Long-Term Goals:

    • Once the mini-preps of the correct lengths are obtained, retest UT2/UT3 with increasing IPTG to repeat previous experiment (if successful, take pictures)
    • Need to test to see if arabinose is having deleterious effects on fluorescence
      • DH5a auto-fluorescence vs. [Arabinose]
      • Consider using a tetR promoter instead of pBad/araC
    • Do an Arabinose and IPTG surface response test to find optimal concentrations
    • NOTE: try not to overgrow the cells – signal seems to saturate quickly

    Cheng:

    • Prepared DH5a-z1 UT2 for IPTG induction of GFP

    Conrad:

    • Re-test UT4C, UT5 ABC and I12006 EFG (2005) with XbaI/SpeI
    • Miniprep UT2/3 in DH5a

    Siva:

    • Prepared DH5a UT2 for Arabinose induced LacI test

    Recorded digest length check results:

    • I12006 EFG (4000-5000, 1500-1000)
    • UT5 ABC (3500-4000, 750-1000)

    Andy, HoKwon:

    • Prepared o/n (3 vials each) of DH5a and DH5a-z1 with UT2 and UT3 for testing
    • Prepared o/n of UT2 DH5a and UT3 DH5a for miniprep
    • Transformed and plated I12006 (2005) (poured in amp plate first by accident), I12006 (2006)
    • Double Digest parts E0240 CD (2005), UT4 AB with XbaI/SpeI
      • E0240 CD (2000-2500, 750-1000) Correct!
      • UT4 AB (3000-4000) Correct!

    Charles, Cheng, Nick:

    • Re-tested UT4 C, UT5 ABC – failed due to a very dry gel
