- We ran three different gradients for the small phage team today.  We ran one of the wild type, one targeting large phage, and one targeting small phage.

-Today we ran PCR on T4 wild type and mutant phage to determine the sequence differences in the capsid proteins.

We got bands for both the 311/312 and 313/314 wild type and mutant.  We need to do PCR cleanup and start with the cloning procedure.  297/298 and 301/302 didn't show any bands for either the wild type or the mutant.  We suspect this may be to boiling them for too long (12 min) at the start.  We are going to try boiling them for only 5 minutes and see if we can get bands next time.

- The T7 group spot tested the aliquots and found concentrations to the -4 in almost every aliquot. Hopefully, with the knowledge that wild type bands at 1.3 we will be able to isolate mutated phage. Today we worked extensively on the Wiki as well and began math modeling for our results.

-Ran a gel on the PCR we did last time.

-Gel
100 mL TAE 1x
1 g regular agarose
2 drops ethidium bromide
Combine and melt TAE and agarose
Cool and add 2 drops ethidium bromide
Allow gel to form with 14 well mold (20 minutes in the fridge)
-Preparing machine
Fill machine with TAE buffer until it covers gel
2 microL DNA ladder in first well
2 microL stain and 5 microL sample, mix and put in well
Run at 130 V for 60 minutes

We place the samples in the order: DNA ladder, 297/298 W M, 301/302 W M, 311/312 W M, 313/314 W M W=wildtype M=mutant

We got bands for both the 311/312 and 313/314 wild type and mutant. We need to do PCR cleanup and start with the cloning procedure. 297/298 and 301/302 didn't show any bands for either the wild type or the mutant. We suspect this may be to boiling them for too long (12 min) at the start. We are going to try boiling them for only 5 minutes and see if we can get bands next time.

The PCR products were stored in the Cholera QS II box in the freezer.
