===Degradation Assay Results===
====Plate Photos====
'''Lysed Cells''' - Time points: 15min, 30min, 45min, 1hr, 1.5hr, 2hr, 2.5hr, 3hr<br>

[[image:ConorGel87.jpg|200px]]
[[image:ConorGel88.jpg|200px]]
====Analysis====
The results to not seem too accurate; at least, there is a fair amount of noise. The control should have had a higher transformation rate, not lower. Both samples do not display a smooth transition over time.
 
Suggestions for next time:
*mix all competent cells into a big batch, add H20 and KCM, THEN aliquot into zymo products
*Dilute the DNA by 10 or more in LB, then add to both cultures, to account for the pipetting differences that will occur between samples when dealing with such small quantities
*create dilutions of transformed cells after plating 70uL: 1/10th, 1/100th, 1/1000th - this will make colony counting easier and much more accurate


===Restriction Digest iGEM10_013===
==[[User:Conor McClune|Conor McClune]] 22:47, 16 October 2010 (EDT)==
*Digested all 7 minipreps (#1-6,8) with Eco/Bam (standard digestion)
===Transposase Assembly===
*incubated for 45 minutes at 37*C
====Colony PCR analysis====
*expected fragment sizes: 6213, 2736
Colony PCR failed: no bands
*results:
[[image:ConorGel89.jpg|400px]]
*in lanes 1 and 5, the larger bands are barely visible (in 5 you can also see the parent vector)
*if they exist, the bands in the other lanes are too faint to see

===Degradation Assay===
'''Overview:'''Add 1uL of atc to each 1mL sample of cells. Let cells lyse for an hour. Add 1uL of DNA. At each of the following intervals: 15min, 30min, 45min, 1 hour, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, remove 200uL of DNA, spin down, and zymo supernatant. After you have all your zymo'd samples, plate on Amp.


====preparation of cells====
*scraped choanos and put 1ml in each test tube
*added 40 uL bacteria to each test tube at 2:30
*induced with arabinose fifteen minutes later (at 2:45)


Cells used: JTK030 cells transformed with the completed transposase part iGEM10_020 (note: this part is not going to be turned on, we are only using a transformed strain to ensure this assay is under the same conditions as the transposase assay.
==[[User:Conor McClune|Conor McClune]] 18:31, 12 October 2010 (EDT)==
*flow cytometry got no hits, because the choanos were in ASW, so the bacteria did not lyse

Plasmid used: Bca9145 in pBca1144 (an RFP)
Control: I will incubate 1uL of the same cells, without ATC, simultaneously, then draw out 200uL of cells at 0,1,2 and 3 hours to zymo and plate on AMP. This will allow us to see any natural degradation that is unrelated to endonucleases or other products of lysis.
'''Procedures:'''<br>
''1:30''  1mL cells placed on incubator as a control. 2.5uL of ATC added to 2.5mL cells (from the same colony pick) and placed on the incubator.
''2:30''  Added 1uL of DNA to the control and 2.5uL DNA to the lysing cells. Solutions are swirled. 200ul removed from control tube and zymo'd (note: 90 sec dry spin cut short
''2:45'' Removed and zymo'd 200uL degredation culture
''3:00''  Removed and zymo'd 200uL degredation culture
''3:15''  Removed and zymo'd 200uL degredation culture


''3:30''  Removed and zymo'd 200uL degredation culture and 200uL of control culture
====preparation of cells====
*scraped choanos and put 6ml in each test tube
*added 240 uL bacteria to each test tube
*induced with arabinose fifteen minutes later (at 2:30)

''Transformation''<br>
*Created 4 cell mixtures: 150uL TGI cells mixed with 50uL water and 30uL KCM.
*70uL of this cell mixture was added to each of the 8.5uL Zymo products
*kept on ice for 5 -10 minutes
*heat shocked for 1.5 min
*replaced on ice for 1 min
*added 2yT and incubated for 1hr
*plated 70uL of each culture on an Amp plate
 
===Eco/Bam Transfer of iGEM10_006 to KA (3rd Attempt)===
'''Digestion'''<br>
*Recipe: 7uL DNA, 1uL NEB2, 1uL Eco, 1uL Bam
*Digested 11:50-12:50
 
''Gel Analysis''<br>
Lane 1: the above digestion of iGEM10_006 Expected Sizes:5734, 2868<br>
Lane 2: my gel purified version of an older iGEM10_006 Eco/Bam digest Expected Size:5734<br>
[[image:ConorGel75.jpg|200px]]<br>
It seems that my miniprep has gone bad. Some endonucleases must have survived the miniprep and chewed up the DNA
 
===Eco/Bam Transfer of iGEM10_004 into CA===
'''Digestion'''<br>
*standard Eco/Bam digestion of all four minipreps of iGEM10_004 (#1,2,4,6)
*incubated from 2:30-3:30
 
'''Gel Purification'''
*expected sizes: 3580, 2736
[[image:ConorGel76.jpg|400px]]<br>
*lane 3 (colony #4) looks ok
*lane 4 (colony #6) looks best
*lanes 1,2 look degraded
 
 
'''Ligation'''<br>
*ligated iGEM10_004#4 and iGEM10_004#6 into pMLL9-CA
*Standard ligation.
*Left at room temp from 4:30-6:00
 
'''Transformation'''
*Cell mixture: 100uL JTK030 cells, 50uL H20, 30uL KCM
*added 70uL of cell mixture to each of the two ligations
*standard heat shock/1hr rescue
*plated 70uL on CA plate
 
===Miniprep of iGEM10_01===
*The colony PCR failed for all 8 picked colonies (no visible bands)
*colony #7 was cotransformed
*I will miniprep all other colonies 1-6,8
 
===ASW Choano Culture===
The culture spilled a little in the drawer, so I added 5uL fresh ASW and 100uL of dead E. coli for food
 
==[[User:Conor McClune|Conor McClune]] 14:40, 27 July 2010 (EDT)==
===Miniprep of Eco/Bam of iGEM10_006===
Decided to miniprep colonies 1,2,3&5, but the cultures of colonies 2 & 3, spilled. Thus I am miniprepping all the other cultures (1,4-8). I also added 2uL fresh KA LB to cultures 2 &3, in case the other cultures are not as good.
 
'''Confirmation via Analytical PCR'''<br>

''Choanos''
*aspirated two plates (15ml each) of choanos in ASW, resuspended each in 5mL of choano media
**note: the choano media we planned on using was contaminated, so I had to use an older one (one that seemed to be lacking something because choanos have not grown very well in it)
*scraped choanos, mixed the two plates (to get 10mL), aliquoted 500uL into each of 12 mini slide wells
*added 20uL of bacteria to the wells (10:15am):

*mistake:added 0.5uL ATC to each well at 10:30am, instead of arabinose (SLD is under Pbad not Ptet)
*correction: added 5uL arabinose to each well at 11:00am


===Picking Colonies of iGEM10_013===
''Self lysis test''
*Picking 8 colonies
**made two 2mL aliquots of each of the plasmid bacteria cultures listed above
*Colony PCR: ca56 and igemTen020 (expected size 2619)
**added 2uL ATC (mistake) and 20uL of arabinose to one of each of the aliquots of each culture

===Eco/Bam transfer of iGEM10_171 (A) into Bca1256===
All 5 colonies looked good on the colony PCR, so I will miniprep the first 4.
*transformed product into JTK159  and plated on spec
===Re-Assembly of iGEM10_170===
*gel purified my previous digestions of iGEM10_159 and Bjh1906
*ligated 4uL of each with 1uL t4 buffer and 1uL t4 ligase
*transformed into JTK159 and plated on CA


===Assembly of iGEM10_013===
==[[User:Conor McClune|Conor McClune]] 16:34, 23 September 2010 (EDT)==
'''Digestion'''<br>
===LifeAct Assembly===
Digested all four minipreps of iGEM10_012 (colonies #1-4). This digestion will also serve as a mapping analysis.
Of the colonies if iGEM10_170 and iGEM10_171 picked yesterday, colonies 5,8,12 and 15 were cotransformed
*Recipe: 4uL H20, 1uL NEB2, 1uL Xho, 1uL  Bgl, 4uL DNA
*incubated from 11:55-12:55


Ran digestions on gel:<br>
Miniprepped: Colonies 1,2,3,7 (iGEM10_170) and colonies 10,11,18, 20 (iGEM10_171) because they were the reddest
*desired fragment: 6139
*renamed these clones iGEM10_170 A-D and iGEM10_171 A-D, respectively
*other fragment: 1607
**iGEM10_171A sequenced well, with one mutation in the promoter
[[image:ConorGel70.jpg|200px]]<br>
**all of iGEM10_170 A-D are missing the terminator
Colonies 1,2 and 4 are definitely good, while colony 3 might be. I gel purified the desired 6kb band of colony 1.


'''Ligation'''<br>
==[[User:Conor McClune|Conor McClune]] 19:55, 22 September 2010 (EDT)==
*recipe: 6uL H20, 1uL T4 buffer, 1uL ligase, 1uL
===LifeAct Assembly===
*incubated at room temp from 1:45-2-18
There is growth on the plates I made yesterday for iGEM10_170-171, though the Red/green colonies on iGEM10_171 are very small


'''Transformation'''<br>
I picked 8 colonies for iGEM10_170 and 12 from iGEM10_171 (only the last 4 may be green AND red).  
*Cell mixture: 100uL JTK030 cells, 50uL H20, 30uL KCM
*added 70uL of this cell mixture to my entire ligation mixture
*standard heat shock transformation
*rescued from 2:25-3:25
*accidentally plated most of solution on KA instead of CA
*used spreader to transfer cells onto correct plate, also added the cells remaining in the tube.


===Creation of Choano ASW culture without bacteria===
Ran a colony PCR, but it did not show much because the addition of the terminator is not visible on the gel. The gel for the last colonies
*added 15uL 1000 Kanamycin to 15uL artificial sea water
*aspirated media from the Mx2 culture
*poured the Kan ASW into the culture dish
*added 100uL 2741 - 8043 cells for food


===Picking Colonies for iGEM10_006 Eco/Bam Transfer===
[[image:ConorGel104.jpg|200px]]
*Picked 8 colonies
*lanes 1-8: iGEM10_170
*Colony PCR:
**all but colony 8 look good
** colonies 1-8 : ca56 + igem004
*lanes 9-13: iGEM10_171
** colonies 1-5 : igem010 + TH313 (ran out of MM for last 3 colonies)
**all look good, except that col PCR failed for colony 12

Choanos are still active in all wells. I took a hemocytometer count of the cells in each wells. However, I did not dilute the first two cultures (which were denser than I expected) and counting took longer than 30 minutes (the usual time before formaldehyde begins causing choanos to lyse). Thus, the counts for the last two cultures may be inaccurate.

'''Digestion'''<br> 4uL H20, 4uL DNA, 1uL Eco, 1uL Bam, 1uL NEB2. Digested from 11:05-12:10 <br> I also needed to digest more pMLL6-KA, since our stock is empty. to do this, I mixed 10uL miniprepped DNA (containing pMLLKA) with 10uL H20, 2.5uL NEB2, 1.25uL Eco, 1.25 Bam. Digested from 1:49-2:23
*Resuspended one of each in TB, LB, Sea water, and Transposase Buffer.
 
*Divided each of the 12 2mL sample into two wells on a 24 well plate.
<br>
*Added 1uL of atc to one of the 1mL samples from each 2mL sample. See detailed layout of plate above.
'''Gel Purification'''<br>
*Moved plate to 37deg shaker. Let sit for 1hour.

*Transfered 200uL of cells from each well to an eppendorph tube and spun down the cells. Transfered supernatant to Zymo Columns.
*iGEM10_006
*Performed a zymo. Note: used 800ul of ADB to meet the necessary 1:4 ratio. Eluted with 10uL.
**desired - 5700

Transposition Buffer: Added 1.0165mg to each mL of NEB2  (MgCl2 tetrahydrate is 203.3g/mol and we're attempting to copy a transposition buffer that contains 150mM of MgCl2). We added 36.6mg of MgCl2 to 32.4mL of water and 3.6mL of 10xNEB2 to make '''150mM MgCl2 NEB2'''. We also added 5 drops of diluted HCl (tube labeled diluted HCl... we made it my dipping a pasteur pipette in the 12M HCL and then in 50mL of mgH20) to bring the pH from 7.8 to 7.6 or so.

===Eco/Bam Transfer sbb18 into correct KA part===
Spun down all 5mLs of cells and 1uL of control cells (no ara). Resuspended in NEB2+MgCl2 buffer. Transferred control into a tube. Combined all 5mL resuspended cells into one tube, and then separated into 5 tubes.  
'''Digestion:''' Standard Eco/Bam digestion of sbb18 from ''Romeo'', incubated for 30 minutes.<br><br>


'''Gel Purification:'''<br>
Added 1uL of atc and 10uL of arabinose to each mL of cells at 1:05pm. Put in 37deg shaker.

===Col PCR results of picking iGEM10_004, iGEM10_005, sbb04 and Bjh2294===
[[image:ConorGel50.jpg|400px]]
*lanes 1-8 : iGEM10_004
**expected size:3771
**wrong size, most lanes seem to match the size of iGEM10_005 instead
*lanes 9-16 : iGEM10_005
**expected size:2354
** none are correct size, though lanes 1,2,4,5,6 match the size of iGEM10_004
*lanes 17-20 : sbb04
**expected size:1988
**all 4 lanes look good
*lanes 21-24 : Bjh2294
**expected size:2707
**all 4 lanes look good
Note: lanes 17-24 and final ladder are somewhat warped due to the plastic object I used to hold the gel
[[image:ConorGel51.jpg|200px]]


I must have switched the plates for iGEM10_005 and iGEM10_004 when I was picking, so I have the correct parts under the wrong labels. From this point one I will switch the iGEM10_005 and iGEM10_004 back.
===Miniprep of iGEM10_103===
The bacterial growth was smaller than usual, so I eluted with only 25uL H20, in order to avoid having a small concentration of DNA. I miniprepped all 6 picked clones of iGEM10_103.


==[[User:Conor McClune|Conor McClune]] 20:15, 10 July 2010 (EDT)==
====Restriction Mapping====
=== Replenish stcoks of sbb10===
*Digested 4uL of each miniprep with Xho/Bgl. Incubated from 11:30-12:15. Froze from 12:15-1:15.
*miniprepped all 4 colonies I grew up (though colony #1 looks best)
*expected fragments: 6995 (desired fragment), 1607 (vector fragment)
[[image:ConorGel93.jpg|400px]]
*no bands visible
*I want to gel purify the larger of the two fragments, so I cut out the entire 7kb section of all six rows, hoping to capture even a low concentration of the correct piece.


=== Replenish stocks of sbb04 and Bjh2294 (Self Lysis Device)===
*picked 4 colonies of each and transferred to KA LB


===Assembly of iGEM10_004, iGEM10_005 and iGEM10_011===
====Analytical PCR====
*no colonies grew for iGEM10_011, but a few grew up on the plates for iGEM10_004 and iGEM10_005
Well Contents: 33uL Taq MM, 1uL each oligo, 0.5uL template DNA
 
*run on 4K45

===Retransform Bjh2294 (self lysis device) and sbb04 for stock replentishment===
*used Assembly teams methylated, 1:2 diluted stocks
*transformed 4uL of of each miniprepped DNA into 100uL jtk030 comp cells (w/ 20uL KCM).
*rescued for 1hr at 37*C

  • 51 and 52 refer to the Self-lysis/Vacuole-buster devices iGEM10_051-052

Procedure

Choanos

  • aspirated two plates (15ml each) of choanos in ASW, resuspended each in 5mL of choano media
    • note: the choano media we planned on using was contaminated, so I had to use an older one (one that seemed to be lacking something because choanos have not grown very well in it)
  • scraped choanos, mixed the two plates (to get 10mL), aliquoted 500uL into each of 12 mini slide wells
  • added 20uL of bacteria to the wells (10:15am):
1+51 2+51 3+51 6+51 7+51 lifeact iGEM10_171 +51(color control)
1+52 2+52 3+52 6+52 7+52 white bacteria
  • mistake:added 0.5uL ATC to each well at 10:30am, instead of arabinose (SLD is under Pbad not Ptet)
  • correction: added 5uL arabinose to each well at 11:00am

Self lysis test

    • made two 2mL aliquots of each of the plasmid bacteria cultures listed above
    • added 2uL ATC (mistake) and 20uL of arabinose to one of each of the aliquots of each culture

Results

Self Lysis Test

  • after 5 hours, all 10 plasmid+SLD/VB cultures with arabinose had lysed.

Assembly of LifeAct Payload

Potential Error discovered: plate with Eco/Bam iGEM157 and iGEM10158 were probably mislabelled since 157 was red and 158 was green (they should have been the green and red, respectively). This means that iGEM161-162 are probably just two copies of the same FP, one lifeact and one not.

Self lysis in Varied Media:Results

Procedure:

  • Grew up 10mL of two colonies off the plates for igem10_020, 013, and 131
  • Used 8mL of those cells by filling 4 collection tubes with 2mL of cells. Spun them down and disposed of supernatant.
  • Resuspended one of each in TB, LB, Sea water, and Transposase Buffer.
  • Divided each of the 12 2mL sample into two wells on a 24 well plate.
  • Added 1uL of atc to one of the 1mL samples from each 2mL sample. See detailed layout of plate above.
  • Moved plate to 37deg shaker. Let sit for 1hour.
  • Transfered 200uL of cells from each well to an eppendorph tube and spun down the cells. Transfered supernatant to Zymo Columns.
  • Performed a zymo. Note: used 800ul of ADB to meet the necessary 1:4 ratio. Eluted with 10uL.
  • Put tubes on ice. Transformed a huge batch of Righty cells (pir +). Added 70uL of cells to each tube.
  • Heat shocked, added 100uL of 2YT, let rescue for ~10min before realizing the plasmids are AC and I could just plate on Amp.
  • Plates are currently stored in incubator labeled 1-24 according to the layout above.

Transposase Assay: Testing Sleeping Beauty and Tn5 in NEB2+MgCl2, varying [DNA] and activity time

Transposition Buffer: Added 1.0165mg to each mL of NEB2 (MgCl2 tetrahydrate is 203.3g/mol and we're attempting to copy a transposition buffer that contains 150mM of MgCl2). We added 36.6mg of MgCl2 to 32.4mL of water and 3.6mL of 10xNEB2 to make 150mM MgCl2 NEB2. We also added 5 drops of diluted HCl (tube labeled diluted HCl... we made it my dipping a pasteur pipette in the 12M HCL and then in 50mL of mgH20) to bring the pH from 7.8 to 7.6 or so.

Spun down all 5mLs of cells and 1uL of control cells (no ara). Resuspended in NEB2+MgCl2 buffer. Transferred control into a tube. Combined all 5mL resuspended cells into one tube, and then separated into 5 tubes.

Added 1uL of atc and 10uL of arabinose to each mL of cells at 1:05pm. Put in 37deg shaker.

Started adding DNA at 1:40pm. For DNA, we mixed two minipreps of 9145-1144. Well, we mixed them after adding DNA from one of the MPs to the 1uL tubes and the 13 .5uL tube (Whoops).

Somehow, we ran out of MP, so we're only adding up to 10uL of DNA.

Time points:
.5hr- 2:10pm
1hr- 2:40pm
1.5hr- 3:10pm
2hr- 3:40pm

Transform into TG1 cells. We mixed 11 tubes of TG1 cells together in a Falcon tube.
