− | <p></p> | + | <p>Week 3, and we step into the lab!<br> |
+ | During the first week in the lab, we learnt about the techniques and the principles behind each one of them. It marked our first foray into the world of synthetic biology and it was great fun learning and performing these experiments.<br> | ||
+ | 1.Wet lab begins! We learn about different kinds of growth media, composition and their significance.<br> | ||
+ | 2.Introduction to agarose gel electrophoresis and DNA quantification methods.<br> | ||
+ | Additionally, we learnt the precautions to follow while handling ethidium bromide containing gels and its disposal procedures. | ||
+ | 3.We also kicked off our very first step towards establishing our proof of concept – extracting genomic DNA from Escherichia. coli, BW25113. We checked the size of the extracted product by agarose gel electrophoresis.<br> | ||
