Goals

  • finish abstract for Alvaro
  • work on slides for Stowers
  • STORM with Bogdan finish F1, start coverslip 4
  • STORM data processing with Bogdan
  • Oligo Prep G3-G5 P1A405, P2Cy3, P4Cy3 samples
  • Hybridizations for next small regions

STORM

  • copying F1 data to ProRAID

Probe Making

Analysis of yesterday’s results

  • ~15 ug RNA at 100 bp ~ 450 pmol.
  • 500 pmol primer
  • 10 mM dNTP = 10 nmol /uL. 6uL = 60,000 pmol. At ~25 of each base per probe that enough for 2,400 pmol

New T7 reactions

  • 4 samples at .25x buffer 1x Enzyme. 1-4 on strip. G1, G2, G9, F11. Concentrations: 53, 70, 45, 40 ng/uL
  • 4 samples at .75x buffer .75x Enzyme: 5-8 on strip. F8, F7, E4, E3. Concentrations: 70, 47, 60 and 30 ng/uL

Oligo Prep

  • G3-G5 P1A405, P2Cy3, P4Cy3 samples
  • forgot to empty dry spin, added elution water and eluted into sample
  • G4P4 had too much volume, clearly wash-buffer contamination. Added more binding buffer and ethanol and reran.
  • other samples eluted in 15 uL and had ~14 uL volume in resevoir, so hopefully not much contaminated. Used these as probe.

New Hybes

  • G3-P1-405 (3 uL) + S1-Cy5 (.7 uL) and G4-P2-cy3 (3 uL) + S2-Cy5 (.7 uL)
  • G3-P2-cy3 (3 uL) + S2-Cy5 (.7 uL) and G4-P1-405 (3 uL) + S1-Cy5 (.7 uL)
  • G3-P2-cy3 (3 uL) + S2-Cy5 (.7 uL) and F9-P1-405 (3 uL) + S1-Cy5 (.7 uL)
  • F2
  • F12
  • ?

Meetings

  • Discussion with XZ (see private notes)
  • Team / co-advising meeting with XZ

Organizing

  • reorganized all freezer stocks. Consolidated all samples into upstairs freezer, downstairs freezer by confocal and downstairs freezer by -80C
  • Combined stock aliquots into common box: IPTG, X-Gal, Salmon Sperm, Heparin, Glycerol, STOP Soln, Carb Soln
  • Moved all embryos to deep storage (-20C next to -80C).

Ordering

  • more T7 should come tomorrow
  • ordered more large scale supply of Phusion
  • ordered more Oligo Prep buffer and DNA Wash buffer
  • need to validate cleaning protocol for CC-5 columns
