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:
    1. What's the cloning amount (and type) per lab ?
    2. 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
