9:40 A – 7:40, 9:00P – 12:30A

  • Finished confocal run, 8.5 embryos finished at speed 5 by 10A (run started at 10P).
  • Previous user canceled 710 time (again).  Need to check before starting or stopping a run.
  • Over-etched first K27 slide (17 min + ? 15).
  • 750 laser on STORM 4: Cathode I low error on boot up.  Automatically shuts down.
  • Prepped new bead slide 715 and 540 beads at 1:10,000.  # prep bead slide of just 540 beads.
  • Making fresh amp plates
  • Attempting to troubleshoot vpn connection to Cajal and Monet with IT help.
  • DNA FISH labeling of embryo sections, day 2.  Sections still survive.  Not sure if nuclei are intact, most obvious signal appears to be yolk vesicles.
  • Confocal imaging slide m199.  Most embryos appear strong rescue.
  • Attempting to run BowTie on a subset of K27me3 data in Galaxy.
  • 750 laser boots correctly after turning off main power box and letting cool.
  • STORM imaging of K27-control.  750 a-m (Dm0) and 750 a-rb (K27) either out-competed by the 561 and 647 antibodies, or the dye doesn’t work, or the over-etching killed it.
  • in situs day 3 (KE) 3 color hox
  • [spreadsheet 0AjSqkxgziU1YdG90a29UaU5ua1FLUXZ5LTFmM1pMSlE 602 202 sheet=8]
  • Confocal imaging of 3 color Hox.  750 didn’t work (no 405 nuclei detectable).  Most channels look good.
  • # Test if etching interferes with dyes
  • # Try DNA FISH with embryos on slides instead of PCR tubes?
