11:00A – 12:30 A

    • Complete and mail DR app.
    • Cloning!
    • Dilute primers.  PCR amplify: Taf1, aTub84b, Neu3 from MP, en from BAC7
    • Modencode chromatin tracks failing to load again.  Wrote to modencode help.
    • Working on drift correction.  Wrote drift simulation and drift corrector for arbitrary drift functions.  Just need to add interpolator to drift computation.
    • Fixed modencode display with help of modencode staff.  Selecting ‘reset to defaults’ from the file menu fixes the upload.
    • GPU multi running extremely slowly.  Probably haven’t normalized counts to photons accurately.   Will troubleshoot when computer returns control to user.
    • Need DipImage,  Visual C++ 2010, and SDK compiler.  See here: http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011a/win64.html
    • Code runs.  Code is Much Much faster on smaller images (12×12 pixels) and large numbers of frames.
    • Code as sent is just fitting dot regions of interest — it is not designed for a full STORM movie — this part is supposed to be done and segmented in the CPU.
    • Wrote to Fang about calling the GPUgaussMLE_z fxn instead of the multiemitter in code that handles the full image.
    • PCRs work.
    • engrailed from BAC7, Taf1, alpha Tub, Neu3 (3 min elongation not long enough for 5 kb probe most of the time).  Negative control (mismatched primers and DNA),
      Ladder: (from bottom 500bp, 1kb, 1.5 kb, 2 kb, 3kb etc)
  • STORM2 still occassionally loses focus (even with reasonably small step size).  Flickering the focus lock on and off still fixes focus.
  • Testing antibodies from Hybridoma bank on full fixed embryos.  Embryos in antibody at 1:150 O/N.  (non-concentrated sera antibodies are at 1:15).
