Exploring the reset of MatLab package
Simbolic Math Tool : MuPad
Matlab's version of Maple . The MuPad interface in less daunting than the Matlab command line interface to do calculations . It solves Math problems such as limits , integrations , matricies etc . Can also plot data and graph equations . Statistical Toolbox : Distribution Fitting Tool , Polynomial Fitting Tool , Non-linear fitting Tool , Response surface modelling Tool , Analysis of Co-variance tool , Step wise regression tool , probability distribution function tool , Random Number Generation tool . Built AHL system in Simbiology.

Construction of luxOU into psB1AC3
Gradient PCR products were pooled and purified using the QIAquick PCR Purification kit (Qiagen, MD). Restriction digest of vector and insert were set up using both XbaI with PstI and EcoRI with PstI (Invitrogen, CA) according to manufacturer's instructions. Digest for 2h at 37oC. Followed with Antarctic Phosphatase (New England Biolabs, ON) treatment (standard manufacturer instructions) for 30minutes at room temperature and heat deactivation at 65oC. QuikLigase (New England Biolabs, ON) ligated 5uL of both insert and vector (standard manufacturer instructions). Ligation products were transformed into TOP10 competent cells with heat shock at 37oC for 5 minutes (for protocol see Sambrook et al., 2001).

Sequencing results of luxPQ and next steps
DNA sequencing results came back for luxPQ C24-1, revealing the presence of luxPQ in the TOPO vector. The next step will be to biobrick clone this piece into psB1AK3 by doing a gradient PCR.

Matlab and Symbiology
Looked into modelling deterministic and stochastic in symbiology. Stochastic modelling allows for predicting potential outcomes via variations in one or more inputs over time. On the other hand, the Deterministic model relies on mathmatical models to alter variables.

Continuation with Marketing
I made a few cold calls today.
Company 1 - not available- follow up tomorrow
Company 2 - called, needs more time to think proposal over
Company 4 - called but not available, left a message, follow up tomorrow
Compnay 5+6 - called but not available, left a voicemail, follow up later this week. I also sent them a follow up email.
Integrated DNA technologies has generously offered to donate graph papers and sharpies. IDT is iGEM's community partner.

Re-do of gradient PCR gel because of contamination issues
Purpose: We considered the possibility that lanes might have been mixed up from the June 4 gradient PCR. Today, we ran the PCR product on a gel with greater care and attention. Materials and methods: Volumes: 3 uL PCR product, 2 uL dye, 15 uL ddHOH. Load 17 uL into the wells and run at 120 V for 40 min. Results: As ugly as the last. We will definitely re-do the gradient PCR.
