<p>   This was our first week setting foot in the lab as the Penn iGEM team. We wanted to become more acquainted with the lab and start transforming and growing parts that would be useful in our future project ideas. This week we wanted to brainstorm our project ideas further as well as being more competent in basic molecular biology techniques.</p><br>

<p>We learned how to make competent cells and performed our first transformations of the summer. We continued to brainstorm potential projects and thought about directions we would like to pursue for the summer. Our idea for a project that would revolve around quorum sensing systems is currently being put into motion. We continued brainstorming for our idea about uses for DNA binding domains like TALE, Cas9, and zinc fingers. We grew up and miniprepped our transformations of various quorum sensing parts and learned how to use a plate reader.</p><br>

<p>We learned how to make competent cells and performed our first transformations of the summer. We continued to brainstorm potential projects and thought about directions we would like to pursue for the summer. Our idea for a project that would revolve around quorum sensing systems is currently being put into motion. We continued brainstorming for our idea about uses for DNA binding domains like TALE, Cas9, and zinc fingers. We grew up and miniprepped our transformations of various quorum sensing parts and learned how to use a plate reader.</p><br>
