  • Explaining stuff:
    • Random forestwhat are our analytes/requirements for them?how are we identifying/killing off the ones that got it wrong
  • we need to figure out the parts/biobricks we'll be using
  • make a proper presentation
  • the challenge for cloning a shorter gene into bacteria is different from that of a longer gene
  • give an idea of the timelines
  • "we can meet after a proper proposal"
  • she'll reply to mail with literature, reviews for genetic circuits
  • we can combine multiple of them maybe
  • about the 1ml/5ml concentrations, she think it's definitely possible, is tunable,
  • prev igem team lead detection system might have proposed it to be tunable
  • talk to abhinav masih
  • different colonies with negative feedbacks
    • namasi, arya ideaflagellar motilityadaptation circuit which resets it to the prev statee coli chemosensory pathwaywhen a ligand binds, the chemosensory mol gets methylated, which in turn switches on a pathway to phosphorylated, which tells it the flagellar motors to switch the directionquorum sensing also works by cross talk with dna bindingreferences on chemosensory systemsadaptation: it gets reset and hence detects a gradientit can only detect a relativephosphorylated protein as a transcription factor to switch on gene expression"two-component systems"
  • PhD students
    • previous year igem team she cant ask people to do it for us
  • She doesnt mind helping out for discussions
  • She doesn't want to be primary PI,
  • We need to talk to Thomas as we need a departmental decision to let us use lab facilities

  • 50% rule, so we need to contact dept
  • To source strains, use references, for example, addgene for plasmids
  • biobricks,
  • you can contact people/authors of the paper, and people are usually open to sharing their strains for academic purposes
  • have backups ready in case you get hindered at the stage of finding a strain
  • try sticking to e coli
