20.109(S11):Wrap-up analysis and modelingb (Day8)

Introduction

a few words on role of modeling...

Protocols

Before you begin today, make sure your β-gal data is correct (see previous FNT). Before you leave, make sure to post the Miller units and % of maximal Miller units for your original and modified truth table on today's Talk page.

Introduction to model: ideal case

You will begin by running code that already includes idealized data for all assays. That way you can see in principle how we move from one transfer function to the next, and ultimately to a spatiotemporal model of the edge detector.

Answer some Q based on code/figures?

Modifying the model: broken and fixed systems

You will now include some of your own data for the original and modified (both IPTG-sensitive) systems. In between the limited data points that you have, you will need to invent additional data; otherwise the code will not be able to run properly.

Given some ranges to make certain parts of code work?

Save these figures for your report.

Implementing other approaches to fixing the system

For next time

Your first draft of the research article is due by 11 a.m. on Day 1 of Module 3.
