Module 1

• Office hours with NK to discuss the memo assignment on Sunday in lab 3-5...

• In preparation for the memo assignment, Agi will have office hours on Wednesday, October 14th, from 3:30-5 pm in room 16-336.

• The sequence information for pCXNNX can be found here (note that there are a lot of similar sounding plasmids, so you will need to choose carefully)

• In response to a question that's been asked by a couple of folks: for the HR figure in your progress report you can use the figure that's been used in lecture, but you must redraw it and you must also cite a primary journal or text reference for the information (not "Engelward lectures, 2009").

• Don't forget to read the Rad51 paper and the Statistics paper. For the statistics paper, you are not responsible for knowing material past the double line on page 57 (sec 4-3 on). Be sure to understand the information about t-tests.

Please see the talk page for 10/6 for questions to consider and items to focus on for the in class discussion.

• The results are in! You can examine the amount of DNA you've recovered from the purification of bkb and insert out of agarose. Gels are posted here.. Thanks Michelle!
