[edit] Wednesday

Liquid culture of has been made.

[edit] Thursday

The plasmid of has been isolated from the liquid culture. The glycerol stock strain containing has been plated.

[edit] Friday

The glycerol stock strain containing has been plated. The key+terminator sequence, the lock sequence and the antikey+terminator sequence have all been ordered at GeneArt.
