IGEM team meeting notes 5/12/14

May 12th 2014

Agenda

Introductions

Icebreaker question: How is genetic engineering going to save/destroy the world?

Updates from sub-projects

What happened in the last week? A brief overview.

Molecular biology

• Craig and Juul have construct designs

Cheese making

• Chr. Hansen wants to know exactly which products we want.

Break out into sub-groups

Sub-group "break-outs" may have to occur in serial because of overlap of members. Groups should plan next weeks work and assign tasks. We encourage people to meet one on one or in their sub-groups to work during the week.

Molecular biology

Proposed goals for upcoming week:

• Finalize construct design
• Plan initial experiments necessary to get "band on a gel" verification of casein and kinase expression
• Make list of all required reagents, tools and other consumables, including gBlocks and primers
• Reach out to companies asking for donated reagents (and plasmids from DNA 2.0)
