Gaston Day School
We began our collaboration with Gaston Day School last year. This year, Adam and Emma attended the Southeastern Mini Convention hosted in Gastonia at the beginning of August. At the convention we briefed each other on our respective projects. After discussing potential pitfalls our representatives tried to help the high school trouble shoot some of their problems. One way we helped the team was by teaching them about Q5 mutagenesis. We discussed the procedure at length and upon returning to Durham, we sent the team literature as well as tools to help them design and perform their own Q5 mutagenesis (including designing their own primers).
In October, Parth visited his former high school and team and was updated on the progress they had made. Below are several pictures from his reunion. While there, Parth helped them troubleshoot further problems and suggested using competent cells from one of our strains. They would use our strain to help increase yield.
When Parth returned, our team also thought of a way to help the Gaston Day team characterize their part further. We have the ability to run a time course assay and in this manner would be able to provide more data on their cells. Gaston Day sent their samples to us and we were able to help them characterize their part.
