Isolation of luxCDABE plasmid via miniprep kit
- Attempted to isolate a higher concentration of plasmid via miniprep kit (Both Qiagen and Sigma).
- A higher concentration is required for sequencing purposes
- No success in isolation, may need to consider other techniques

MatLab's other packages
Explored MatLab's other packages :
Bioinformatics : Sequence Viewer , Phylogenetic tree tool , Molecule viewer , Multiple Sequence alignment Viewer , Protien Plot Tool
Curve Fitting : Surface fitting , curve fitting
Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search
Optimization
Statistics
Simbolic Math
Molecule Viewer : Very interesting . 3D viewing of molecules from data base . Unfortunately can't create images with tool .The Molecule viewer file (pdb) contain large amounts of information on positiioning amoung other things such as name of elements in molecule. The viewer allows for viewing in many differnt formats such as ribbon and rocket etc . Can load pic as pdf.
Curve Fitting : Very helpful .
Went through Three Gene Repressilator example modeling tutorial .

Overnight Cultures, Retreaks and Ethics
Prepaed overnight cultures of LuxOD47E in ordert o isolate plasmid tomorrow. Also prepared restreaks. Started to look at Ethics asisgnment for the Ethics workshop later this month.

Overnight cultures and restreak of TOP10 cells transformed with pBluescript
Overnights of TOP10 cells with pBluescript were grown in LB broth + Ampicillin in order to increase the number of plasmids for future verifications of competency (after isolation). TOP10 cells transformed with pBluescript were restreaked on LB agar + Ampicillin plates.

Overnight growth and restreak of TOP10 cells with pBluescript plasmids.
Overnight Growth
Overnights of TOP10 cells with pBluescript plasmids were grown in order to perform miniprep on them. More pBluescript are required for later verifications.
Restreak
After performing a transformation, restreaking is always required to ensure that you have more of the colony that you are working with; thus a restreak of TOP10 cells with pBluescript plasmids was done.

Marketing Coninuation
Fahd and I made up a new list of Biotech companies and labs whom we could contact for sponsorship. We began looking through catalogs in the lab office to see from which companies we buy reagents, equipment, tips, pipets etc. If we found an unfamiliar name, we wrote it down and researched that company to get a better understanding of their product and/or service. If their goal coincides with this year's project we would contact the company and send them our sponsorship package. This second list of companies included 26 new organizations and companies, which could mean more potential sponsors!

Further work on the repressilator
I completed the differential modelling sections of the assignment and wrote code to automate the process by running my script at the command line level. I now have a better understanding of the simulation power of SimBiology.
