Long Term Goals

miRNA Profile

  •  Read literature
  •  Choose profile

Building the Cell Detector Circuit

  •  Build mathematical model
  •  Make test bed
    •  Controlled miRNA expression
    •  Constructed miRNA sensors

Mini experiments

    •  Single miRNA detector circuit

Alzheimer's Model

  •  Agree on a team wide, full Alzheimer's model

Today's Agenda

Presentations

  •  Run through NEGEM Presentation (12:00)

miRNA Sensors (Theory)

  •  Create circuit diagram (in the NEGEM presentation?)
    •  Put it on our subgroup home page
  •  How does repressor affect the circuit?
  •  Determine final output of circuit

miRNA Sensors (Lab Work)

  •  Understand why we're doing any of these reactions
  •  Transform MAV1212 into ccdB resistance cells
    •  Grow at low temp w/ x-gal, shielded from light
  •  Pick as many colonies as possible
    •  Sequence ccdB region
  •  Propogate plasmids (in room 215, in -20 fridge, labeled "igem 2014")
    •  MAV1212
    •  MAV1212-Hef1a-EBFP2
    •  MAV1212-Hef1a-mKate2
  •  Gateway MAV1212-Hef1a-L7ae
  •  Find our repressors and repressible promoters promoters 
    •  Find entry vectors in our library

Cell Models

  •  Finish table of concentrations in each cell line
  •  Finalize siRNA transfection technique
