Internal Meeting 11 May 2009

Action Points of the Meeting

  • Set a date for Modelling Tutorial with Goksel.
  • Model of Metal Intake
  • Model of sinI Operon
  • Model of comK system -> someone to write a brief summary on the model(Hanny?)
  • Promotor library -> Write a program (Java)
  • Email N.J Robinson regarding building of model (??) (Mathew?)
  • Email GeneArt directly, asking for discounts (Arun?)
  • Email Dr. Aldridge regarding DNA shipment (?)
  • Germination (?)
  • Prioritise which bricks to synthesize, pull out individual bits (major, exciting parts that will earn medals) due to limited funds. Example: germination stochastic switch, metal sponge, etc.
  • Mathew to forward the email from N.J Robinson.
  • Reason why gene is selected
  • Hybrid promoter for sigma A
  • Coding (JSim) -> Generate CellML Model on a frontline (James?)
  • Write up on Cadmium and the environment
  • Decide which awards to aim for, using Matlab would not get a prize, need to use/rewrite models.
  • Lab space -> Need to take turns, therefore need to come up with a proper schedule


Minutes of the Meeting

  • iGEM get-together in Edinburgh 23-24th June (Monday-Tuesday) -> May need to postpone labwork as a result.
  • sin I operon -> do we really need it? sporulation..?
  • need pretty pictures of things changing -> criteria for prize.
  • sigmaA - want to express mnth all the time with sigma A
    • have 2 promoters infront of smta
    • make hyprid promotor -> try to model, can do a write up as an idea and put it up on the wiki
  • Promoter library - Want to build a promoter library with different strands and strengths, not single strands.
    • Need to alter some of the consensus
    • Write a program using Java
    • By looking at the levels derived from ... radiator, find the strength, rank cross no. experiments. Cannot compare the absolute no. microrate -> level of expression for each gene (amount of mRNA of each gene, measure intensity via a software).
