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

Modelling - Copasi

 * Goksel has given tutorial on Copasi
