Notebook

Week1 (4.8-4.14)

★Had the first meeting.
★Brainstorm and learning about relevant materials.
★Discuss our ideas and invited teachers to give some advice

Week2 (4.22-4.28)

★Presentation to share what we learn about synthetic biology.
★Second Brainstorm.
★We began to use our spare time to study experimental techniques.
★project was decided.

Week3 (5.12-5.11)

★We had a safety education before we started the formal experiment, including lab safety, researcher safety and environment safety. And we learned some emergency responses, such as how to use extinguisher and fire blanket, and how to use emergency shower and eye wash.
★Made a concrete plan for our project.

Week4 (5.22-5.26)

★Extracting of plasmid.
★Constructing recombinant plasmid
★Learning cell culture techniques

Week5 (5.27-6.2)

★The construction of recombinant plasmid.
★We have decided to build our parts and primers sequence was designed
★Transformation, monoclonal selected, we have sent plasmid to the company for sequencing verification

Week6 (6.3-6.9)

★After connecting the cleavage products, we have sent them to the company for sequencing.
★We started building two parts using PCR technique and digestion technique:
★According to our design, We should know the sensitivity of the promoter. So we decided to construct two plasmids.

Week7 (6.10-6.16)

★successfully constructed and cryopreserved.
★Continuing to build part.
★We went to Jinan Hing School to have teaching activities for publicity our project and Synthetic Biology.
★Preparing of experimental materials.

Week8 (6.17-6.23)

★Construct part K3209000.
★Characterization K1334002
★designed a series of questionnaires.

Week9 (6.24-6.30)

★It was verified by sequencing that we have building parts K3209000 successfully.
★Through a small range of issuing questionnaires, we have further modified our questionnaires.
★Continuing to construct other part, and preparing the materials for the second plasmid vectors.

Week10 (7.1-7.7)

★Extracting plasmids and began to detect promoter sensitivity to formaldehyde.
★Exprssion theK3209000
★The construction the part K3209002.

Week15 (8.5-8.11)

★Detected the sensitivity of promoter to fromaldehyde (repeat).
★We have made of poster for CCiC.
★After data processing, we got the graph which showed the influence of IPTG on the GFP expression.

Week16 (8.12-8.18)

★Characterization the part: K3209006.
