SynBERC:COG

Welcome to the Construction Optimization Group (COG)!

At the last SynBERC retreat SynBERCers decided that solving the challenge of automated DNA assembly/cloning would be a priority for the center. COG will be tasked with drafting a report for the upcoming NSF visit in March(?) that evaluates current assembly approaches and proposes a path forward. This page is just getting started, please add/edit!

=Goals=
 * 1) Maintain communication across labs on status of automated assembly projects.
 * 2) Produce a report with evaluation of current assembly approaches and recommendations for going forward.

=Meetings=
 * SynBERC:COG/October 2007 Meeting - TK debrief on QIAcube
 * SynBERC:COG/Homework:
 * What's the cloning amount (and type) per lab ?
 * What experiment can't we do that we'd like to do?
 * SynBERC:COG/December 2007 Meeting - Lane & Anderson research updates
 * SynBERC:COG/January 2008 Meeting - Registry research update
 * Sarah Reisinger SynBERC presentation on automated cloning
 * SynBERC:COG/February 2008 Meeting - Sergio from the Lim Lab on combinatorial assembly
 * SynBERC:COG/April 2008 Meeting - Harris from the Church lab presents on MAGE
