Protocols

Glycerol stock-preservation
  1. Add one ml sterile 50% glycerol to a cryotube.
  2. Add one ml overnight culture to a cryotube from step 1
  3. Store at -80 °C

PCR
  • Make a mastermix of the reagents that are common for all reactions. Make enough for 0,5 extra reaction. Add reagents in the order they are listed above.
  • The polymerase stock must only be taken out of the freezer when needed and must be put back immediately after use.
  • Remember to mix thoroughly before aliquotting to separate PCR tubes, and try not to make any bubbles. Reverse pipetting works well for aliquoting.
  • Mark the PCR tubes on lid and side and place in thermocycler.
  • The annealing temperature should match the primer melting temperatures. This can be hard as Tm predictors tend to disagree.
  • Elongation time should be AT LEAST 30 seconds per kb of the longest expected fragment (for the X7 polymerase).

Glycerol stock-preservation
  1. Add one ml sterile 50% glycerol to a cryotube.
  2. Add one ml overnight culture to a cryotube from step 1
  3. Store at -80 °C

Motivation
I joined iGEM in order to take part in a project where the students have more control and responsibility than other projects at DTU. It was also a motivation being part of a team, as large projects at DTU most often are individual.

How do you prefer spinach?
I prefer spinach in a salad with strawberry, red onion, pine nuts, feta and a dressing with Balsamico vinegar, oil, sugar, soy sauce and tabasco.

Motivation
As a student at DTU you get to do plenty of project work, however it is mostly carried out individually or in a small group, with very specific goals and a high degree of supervision. iGEM offers the opportunity to work on a much larger project with a high degree of autonomy, where everything from the overall goals and strategy to design of experiments is left for the students to manage. This provides a great opportunity to experience the challenges of actual research projects

Major contributions


How do you prefer spinach?
Luminescent and far away from my taste buds.
