Checking Colony Growth on plates
- No single colonies were found on LB+Kan plates. The transformation was done by using XL Gold Ultracompetent cells and plasmid, pCS26+promoters (NEB Quick Ligase).
- Transformation of pBluescript into both XL Gold and Top 10 cells were successful. Cells grew on LB plates.

Ethics Meeting with Dr. Wolbring
- Read two papers on Ethics: First a review paper by Keasling called Synthetic Biology for Synthetic Chemistry, which I didn't find super useful as it mostly just focused on defining Synthetic Biology and metabolic engineering. I also started to read Scenarios for the Future of Snthetic Biology by Stephen Aldrich, James Newcomb, and Robert Carlson. I didn't get too far in this, but it seemed slighly more useful, discussing who will play a role in shaping the field of Sythetic Biology.
- At 10:00 a.m. Mandy, Fahd, Stefan and I met with Dr. Wolbring to discuss ethics. It was an interesting meeting and he has given us a better idea of where to go from here. We discussed the write-up that we did for AIF and he agreed to send us a copy of it with his comments sometime today. He also showed us some interesting tools olnline that might help us. One of these was a program called uStream where you can record and broadcast videos and invite people to watch and comment. He suggested that this could be a powerful tool to discuss ethics with other teams and guest speakers. We really liked this idea as an alternative to our conference idea.
Sequecing of J13002-LuxOD47E-B0015
- Today I sent one of my colonies down for sequencing. I sent down J13002-LuxOD47E-B0015 colony 6 with the BBK Reverse Sequencing primer. I'm hoping that this result will come back tomorrow and the presence of the B0015 terminator will be verified in my contruct. If this is the case, then my circuit will be complete!
