1. Meeting Friday 6/15/12

2. Recap of the Past Week’s Work Tried to find a team to collaborate with Made iGEM twitter Made competent cells in bulk – currently testing that they are competent Discussed 3A vs. Gibson Assembly Quote for OmpA – Silicatein from DNA2.0 Start transformation of parts for AIDA construct Assigned and divided projects

3. Division of Projects Rachel – Characterizing silica, toolbox, design experiments for SBP Rubeena – Design experiments Mrudula – Construction of AIDA, modeling with JMP August – help with AIDA and start testing with OmpA-Silicatein Amanda – Experimental design for AIDA and biofilm characterization, make reagents for each day

4. Plan for the Next Week Transform parts for AIDA construction Start 3A assembly of parts Start Modeling with JMP Research ways to characterize parts Start designing experiments to extract quanitative data

5. Journal Review! Read a paper on syn bio and write a summary report and post it on dop box Read another paper that is found in the drop box? Summary Papers help with finding info faster Keep up with syn bio world and gather ideas

6. To Do for Next Week Everyone needs to research a paper in either: An aspect of the overall project Syn Bio Research assays to do for silica and biofilm formation and present pros and cons Also what do we need to order?? Update on formations/assembly
