By: Reika Hallett and Zach Leaf 1 October 2021 After completing the downstream region of our gene deletion plasmid, pZR01, derived from Flavobacterium psychrophilum, we have started to perform the same steps to clone the upstream region of our gene … Continue reading →

September 24, 2021 Emily Schmidtbauer and Kaela Wierenga Introduction: Last semester, we were able to successfully insert the downstream region of our gene into the suicide vector pYT313 to generate two plasmids. We named them pSW01-3 and pSW01-6. We are … Continue reading →

Apr 23, 2021 By: Reika Hallett & Zach Leaf Introduction Since our previous blog posted on April 3, 2021, we have continued working with our downstream sample of our gene. The last step talked about in the previous blog was … Continue reading →

April 16, 2021 Emily Schmidtbauer and Kaela Wierenga Introduction: In this blog post, we will further analyze our endonuclease gene and look at what our next steps have been in our research since April 1, 2021. We are still looking … Continue reading →

4/7/21 Abby Mueller and Marley Fuhrman Introduction: In our previous blog post the last procedure we did consisted of ligating our gene with the plasmid. Since then, we performed a transformation procedure and then grew the bacteria. We have seen … Continue reading →
