Berk2010-Christoph

• Had to re-grow Lefty and Righty strains since no colonies grew.
• Need to make part 5 with 25 (pMLL5-CK+B10sbb37) or (pMLL5-CK+Bca1152)
  

Currently in DH10B. Need to Eco/Bam transfer it into pMLL5-CK.
Put E/B digest of Bca1152 in DH10B into thermocycler at 12:10pm. Take out at 1:10pm and do small fragment zymo cleanup.
Set up ligation of Bca1152 and pMLL5 at 2:15. Transform at 2:45.
Heat-shock transformed Bca1152+pMLL5 into Jtk049.

TO DO List:

• Finish generating competent cells for "Lefty" and "Righty" strains.
• Analyze sequencing data for pMLL6+Bjh2245 B and C.
• Transform pMLL6+Bjh2245 into "Righty" strain.
• Transform other parts into the correct "Righty" or "Lefty" strains to prepare for robot 2ab assembly.

Christoph Neyer 15:16, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

Colony PCR of pMLL6+Bjh2245 should be at about 265bps. Looks good. Wait for colonies to grow and then miniprep.

• Sent in miniprepped pMLL4-Bjh1882 (D) and pMLL5-Bca1091 (2A) for sequencing.
• Started growing up Lefty and Righty strains. Picked two colonies of each lefty and righty and grew them up in 10ml LB.
• Designed three potential oligos for biobricking part Bjh2341CA (igemTen011, igemTen012, and igemTen013)
• Miniprepped pMLL6+Bjh2245. Need to transform into "Righty strain"
• Sent in minprepped pMLL6+Bjh2245 to be sequenced.

Christoph Neyer 13:28, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

Bca1091 is 60bps.
Colony PCR band for parts:

• pMLL4+bjh1882 = 849bps
• pMLL6+bjh2245 = 265bps
• pMLL5+bca1091 = 228bps

• For First try Colony PCR of 1882 and 1091:
  • Bca1091 pick lanes 8 and 10 for miniprepping.(Block #1: Colonies from well 1D and 2A)

• For Second try Colony PCR of 1882 and 1091
  • Bjh1882 pick lanes 1 and 4 for miniprepping. (Block #2: Colonies from well A and D)

Christoph Neyer 19:37, 8 June 2010 (EDT)

TO DO Tomorrow:

• Miniprep colonies that we pick for pMLL4+Bjh1882 and pMLL5+Bca1091. These are methylated correctly for the robot.
• Colony PCR pMLL6+Bjh2245 in Jtk049. These are not methylated correctly.

Christoph Neyer 19:51, 8 June 2010 (EDT)

• Ran gel of colony PCR pMLL4-Bjh1882 and pMll5-Bca1091 AGAIN:

• Repicking colonies since Colony PCR appeared contaminated. Block has same layout, shown below:

PCR Block 1882 and 1091 #2	'	'	'	'
1882		1091 #1		1091 #2
A		A		A
B		B		B
C		C		C
D		D		D

• Ran out of "Righty" cells. So we are transforming Jtk049 with our E/B ligation of pMLL6+Bjh2245.

Christoph Neyer 14:04, 8 June 2010 (EDT)

• Digested pMLL6 w/ Eco/Bam and gel purified.
• Colony PCR of transformed pMLL4-Bjh1882 and pMLL5-Bca1091:

Bjh1882+pMLL4-AC = Lefty
Bjh2245+pMLL6-KA = Righty
Bca1091+pMLL5-CK = Lefty
Ligated isolated Bjh1882 and Bca1091 into above vectors. Transformed into Lefty strains.
Need to ligate Bjh2245 (Missing pMLL6, need to digest).
TO DO:

• Digest pMLL6 with Eco/Bam and gel purify. Then ligate with Bjh2245.
  
• Check transformed Bjh1882 and Bca1091.
• Transform ligated Bjh2245+pMLL6 into Righty strain

Christoph Neyer 16:35, 7 June 2010 (EDT)

Couldn't see fragments. Turns out Bjh2245 is 97bp and Bjh1882 is ~680bps.
Re-cut Bjh2245 and Bjh1882.
Small fragment zymo cleanup of Bjh2245 digest.


Gel purified Bjh1882.

Christoph Neyer 15:54, 7 June 2010 (EDT)

Eco/Bam digest of parts: Bjh2245 (LifeACT), Bjh1882 (RFP), and BCA1091 (Ptet).
Gel purified Bjh1882 and Bjh2245.
Small fragment zymo cleanup of BCA1091.
