June 20
Wet Lab
- Picked 2 colonies of pDawn-mCherry, innoculated in 5 mL of LB and 50 ug/mL of Kan
- PCR purified fragments (Peter), then ran gel?
Dry Lab
- Researched DARPin binding domains and linkers
- Finalized some biobrick orders
- Finalized synthesis order (minus linker)
You should make use of the calendar feature on the wiki and start a lab notebook. This may be looked at by the judges to see how your work progressed throughout the summer. It is a very useful organizational tool as well.
