Minutes

Reviewing last meeting's Action Points

  • Design biobricks and primers in Sequencher
    • Sequencha had been ordered and has arrived - BioBricks have been designed as have the primers needed to make them
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Need some sequencing primers for each BioBrick (look at the backbone and insert primers outside of the gene sequence). See Chris French's Open WetWare page


  • Students to prepare primers and cloning strategy documents by tuesday
    • Done!
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Tidy up some of the cloning strategies


  • Make virtual construct of our manually constructed BioBricks on Clone Manager
    • Done
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Either put the constructs on the hard drive of the computer in Phil's office OR place them onto a shared network


  • Look at which enzymes we need in the lab and order them
    • Enzymes all ordered and present


  • Review the timeline and change it according to cloning strategy
    • Haven't done so yet
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Need to review timetable
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Each team needs to come up with a five minute summary of their sub-project


  • Contact teams to help them (Groningen, Cornell, UQ)
    • Contact has been initiated with Groningen and Cornell
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Ask Nigel Robinson's advice on how to help Cornell
    • NEW ACTION POINT - E-mail UQ University and enquire about helping them with modelling
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Negotiate swap with Cornell and enquire about modelling
    • NEW ACTION POINT - Follow up Groningen's e-mail


  • T-shirts design
    • Ongoing


  • Make sure flights and hotels are ok for everyone
    • Done!


  • Integration Vector?
    • Strategy done; process ongoing


  • Promoter library?
    • Ongoing
