Assembly of parts
An overview of the the 2006 iGEM DNA distribution plates.
Each biobrick has a certain antibiotic resistance. Biobricks stored in Plate 1 are all Ampicilin resistant. The bottom of each well of Plate 2 is [http://partsregistry.org/Help:How_to_make_agar color-coded] to indicate the corresponding biobrick's antibiotic resistance.
Here is an excellent [http://openwetware.org/wiki/BioBricks_construction_tutorial biobrick construction tutoral] and collection of related protocols.
Questions
- What strain of e. coli should we use? How do we make those cells competent?
- How do we find out which antibiotic a particular DNA on Plate 2 is resistant to? The Biobrick Delivery instructions say that we should use the [http://partsregistry.org/cgi/assembly/libraries.cgi?id=6 Registry Repository] to find out, but it doens't seem to list each part's antibiotic resistance on there.
- The bottom of each well is [http://partsregistry.org/Help:How_to_make_agar color-coded] to indicate the antibiotic resistance.
- How do we obtain part I15010?
- Email Meagan at the registry (meaganl AT mit DOT edu) and copy James Brown (jrb62 AT cam.ac.uk)
- How do we obtain EnvZ- e. coli?
- Ask frank - he seems to know.
- Who knows what we can buy now and what general lab supplies are available for our use?
