9:45 am – 8:00 pm,
remotely, 9:15 pm – 11:00 pm

RNAi validation

Finish library prep

  • run final bead purification and elution

background prep

  • contact Bauer core to confirm dates for tape analyzer
  • reading background for KAPA_Library_Quantification
    • stresses don’t freeze thaw repeatedly dilute DNA samples
    • keep dilute DNA samples in a buffer, otherwise they degrade rapidly
    • avoid multichannel pipettes and multiwell plates, but run lots of replicates (not convienent)
  • reading protocol for KAPA Library Quantification kit
    • got Kapa master mix from Jeff (has primers added)

setup

  • 6 standards + NT control, 3 replicates (21)
  • library dilutions (3 libraries)
    • dilute each library 1:100. Lets do 2 library + 198 buffer. These are the working dilutions (200 uL).
    • target dilutions: 1:800; 1:3,200; 1:128,000
    • 10 uL working-dilution + 70 uL buffer (1:8 of a 1:100). total 80 uL
    • 20 uL previous-dilution + 60 uL buffer (1:4 of 1:800). total 80 uL
    • 20 uL previous-dilution + 60 uL buffer (1:4 of 1:3200). total 80 uL
  • do this twice from the same working-dilution for each library (2 reps x 3 dils x 3 libs) = 18
  • setup in 96 well plate (39 samples, 3×7 and 3x(3*2)).
  • all dilutions still above the concentration range of the standards. Should repeat setup.
    QPCR_KapaQuantResults_1
  • some pipetting inaccuracies also detected.

Imaging

  • staining Telomere-GFP samples with Draq5
  • added Draq5 to Ph-KD and mock-KD cells stained previously with Ph-Cy3B
  • quantify samples on confocal LSM700 (11am – 1pm)
  • stained Ph-KD and mock-KD with Hoechst. Looks better than Draq5 on fixed cells.

Editing

  • finish comments for Ye. Send back.

Coding: Quantify Fixation GUI

  • adding alignment stats to GUI step 2

Data analysis

  • analyzing internal data for BX-C L4E22to24
