10:00 A – 7:00 P, 9:00 P – 11:55 P

Lab Meeting

  • post-doc visit, see notes.

STORM

  • Finish O/N imaging of R2bxcS7
  • Imaging R2bxcF. high background, lots of blinking = probably cy5 primary + cy5 secondary
  • Imaging O/N R2bxcB. low background, very strong signal, high contrast, probably cy5 secondary, unlabeled primary. Not too strongly 405 responsive, though more so perhaps than the last one?

Project 2

see notes

chromatin libraries

  • moved to more stringent parameters for hoxD library
  • rerunning against newly constructed mouse BLAST database on Odyssey server O/N

Probe making

  • RNA cleanup using zymo kit of in vitro transcribed, cy5 labeled RNA probes
  • P1 is ~650 ng/uL, RC is ~40 ng/uL. Dye color of solution looks like it.

cell staining

  • test probes with previously fixed and prepped Kc167 cells
  • En-Primary DNA label (2:20 uL dilution)
  • RNA-labeled En-P1 (2:20 uL dilution)
  • RNA-labeled En-RC (6:20 uL dilution)
  • RNA-labeled En-RC (6:20 uL dilution) + cy5-secondary (1:20 uL dilution) + new-405 (1:20 uL dilution)
  • let rubber cement set at 47C.
  • 3 min incubation on downstairs heat block at 85C (should be ~78 on glass according to earlier measurments).
