Action Points during last meeting

• Ask about project description (Jess) - Done.
• Send BioBrick design to Neil (All).
• Ask Pr.Nigel Robinson if he wants to be an advisor (Mat) - Pending.
• Think about the project title; BacMan,the Quest to Sequester? - Morgan likes, accepted.
• Need to put more pictures on the wiki (Mat).

• Write personal descriptions on the wiki and ask the instructors and advisor to do so (Arun) - Part done.
• Have a look at the shuttle vector that Cambridge submitted last year (Leave for later).
• Look at Groningen's BioBrick design (leave for later).
• Need to set up a meeting with Noel from Sunderland (Goksel).
• Put modelling stuff and presentations on the wiki (Mat).
• Need to calculate how much the stochastic BioBrick will cost (Jess).
• The need for more money (Sponsors) - Arun and Mat emailed.
  • Are Millipore still a sponsor? - Arun emailed.
• Lab PC still needs drivers installed - students account not admin.
• T-shirts to be designed.

New action points

• Design biobricks and primers in Sequencher.
• Submit Preliminary Project Track details to iGEM HQ by 7 August (TOMORROW!).
• Change NheI cutsite with another cutsite in teh dsigns sine it is used in the integration vectors
• Find the integration vector to use at the lab

Minutes

• We have been sent two strains in spore forms qnd they cannot germinate. In one of them, the spore coat is engineered and in the other one enzymes requierd the break the spore wall are not produced to prevent germination.
