THIS IS KIND OF WHAT MY DAY LOOKS LIKE. JEALOUS?


Molecular Biology Lab Work Time Lapse
"Molecular Biology Lab Work Time Lapse" on Google Video
What you are witnessing are four of the most fundamental molecular biology tasks; DNA extraction, Gel electrophoresis, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and the use of restriction endonucleases. Or, in english, DNA extraction, sorting DNA by size, amplifying DNA, and cutting DNA. It's like cooking with minute volumes of clear liquid.

What if I don't want to be a scientist anymore?

My cells have a transformation efficeincy of 6.5 x 10^5. Not bad at all. And I am six for six in my transformants. Good science day.

Today I finished making mineral competent DH5-alpha, a strain of E. coli. Next week I will test to see if they will do what they are supposed to at a high rate of efficiency.

Also, Bart is working night hours right now and it stinks. The last few nights he has arrived home after 2:00am.
