**P & P:** P&P outlined the events and goals for the summer while planning for 4-H. One major goal was to finish creating a customizable plasmid kit and to use it for collaboration.

June 24th to June 30th

---

**Wet Lab:** Wet Lab ran PCR reactions for PhrpL and sigmaF and Confirmed the lengths of each construct by running through a gel. The PCR was cleaned up and nanodropped resulting in high DNA concentration. Wet Lab began a wet culture from NEB 5-alpha E. coli transformed with PSB1c3. The wet culture was miniprepped and then ran through a gel. However, no bands were visible for PSB1C3 indicating an unsuccessful miniprep.

**Business:** Members began reaching out to potential sponsors.

July 1st to July 7th

---

**Business:** Members are still reaching out to potential sponsors.

July 8th to July 14th

---

**Wet Lab:** We ran PCR on our DNA constructs PhrpL, Sigmaf, PF2, High pass 1b, Low pass 1b. Confirmed the lengths of each construct by running through a gel. Miniprepped PSB1C3 bacteria with low yields.

**Wiki:** Design team went over each team member’s revised home page design and listed out what features/components to include for the final home page design. Reached out to leads and former members who contributed to design for feedback. Assigned each design member to make mock-up(s) of sub-page (due 7/21).
Design team went over sub-page designs and listed out what features/components to include for final sub-page design. Designated assignments for making team page design, notebook/attributes page design, and looking into incorporating animation into the wiki (due).

**P & P:** On July 17th, P&P hosted a workshop at GIAC about synthetic biology teaching 1st graders about parts of a cell by representing different parts with different candies. Additionally, the plasmid kit was painted with methods that did not give a good final aesthetic. P&P contacted NY 4H for outreach opportunities at the upcoming NY State fair.

**Business:** Members are still reaching out to potential sponsors.

July 22nd to July 28th

---

**Wet Lab:** Wet Lab PCRed High Pass 1a, High Pass 1b and Low Pass 1c. We ran the PCR product on a gel, which confirmed a successful PCR. We then cleaned up the PCR product and nanodropped the cleanups. The PCR cleanup was cleaned up, while PSB1c3 was linearized and digested. The digestion were cleaned up and nanodropped. Wet Lab also miniprepped a wet culture that had been started earlier in the week of PSB1C3 transformed bacteria and nanodropped the results.

**Product Development:** PD completed data parsing and created basic graphs. We also worked on updating parts of the model that required adjusting.

**Business:** Members are still reaching out to potential sponsors.

July 29th to August 4th

---

**Wet Lab:** We ligated previously digested High Pass 1a and High Pass 1b into pSB1C3 (to create High Pass 2a) as well as High Pass 1a and High Pass 1c into pSB1C3 (to create high Pass 2b). We performed PCR reactions for some parts we were running low on and then digested and ligated mf-Lon, sigmaF, and PhrpL, High Pass 1a, High Pass 1b, High Pass 1c, Low Pass 1b, and Low Pass 1c individually into pSB1C3 vectors. We heat inactivated and transformed our ligations into NEB 5-alpha Competent E. coli. Since we had been having trouble with transformations, we used SOC instead of LB for our outgrowth steps, with a positive outcome - colonies grew on all plates. We used isolated colonies to inoculate 5 mL liquid cultures which we miniprepped after overnight incubations. We also performed colony PCR reactions on assembled pSB1C3 vectors with High Pass 2a and and mf-lon inserts. We will continue with colony PCRs and run gels for them next week.

**Product Development:** PD began developing proofs and identifying characters of model via direct analysis and also worked on updating the graphics of the graphical model.

Argyres of Washington University in St. Louis in two separate interviews on 8/1 about the potential risks and regulations relevant to our project (see interview notes for specific interview contents).

**Business:** Members are still reaching out to potential sponsors.

August 5th to August 11th

---

**Wet Lab:** We performed colony PCR reactions on assembled pSB1C3 vectors with inserts. We ran the colony PCR products on agarose gels but got only bands of about 300 base pairs, which indicated that our biobricks had not been successfully inserted into our vectros. After some troubleshooting, we realized that the antarctic phosphatase we had been using to dephosphorylate the pSB1C3 to prevent re-ligation was expired and likely inactive. We ordered new quick CIP.

**Product Development:** PD identified algorithms for stochastic simulation model, found more parameter values, and updated graphics.

**Wiki:** Wiki started setting up the internal structure of the wiki. Wiki set up the wiki repository.

**P & P:** P&P interviewed Professor Swingle on August 6th, focusing on understanding methods to test and gather characterization data for modeling of the proteins HrpR and HrpS, which are integral to the biological circuit.

# Results

Here you can describe the results of your project and your future plans.

### What should this page contain?

* Clearly and objectively describe the results of your work.
* Future plans for the project.
* Considerations for replicating the experiments.

### Describe what your results mean

* Interpretation of the results obtained during your project. Don't just show a plot/figure/graph/other, tell us what you think the data means. This is an important part of your project that the judges will look for.
* Show data, but remember all measurement and characterization data must be on part pages in the Registry.
* Consider including an analysis summary section to discuss what your results mean. Judges like to read what you think your data means, beyond all the data you have acquired during your project.

### Project Achievements

You can also include a list of bullet points (and links) of the successes and failures you have had over your summer. It is a quick reference page for the judges to see what you achieved during your summer.

* A list of linked bullet points of the successful results during your project
* A list of linked bullet points of the unsuccessful results during your project. This is about being scientifically honest. If you worked on an area for a long time with no success, tell us so we know where you put your effort.
