Yosemite Trip - 2015

2014-11-12T20:29:34Z

Athubage: /* Participants */

__NOTOC__
(partially plagiarized from Yosemite Trip 2007) 
We are organizing a winter Murray Group trip to Yosemite this year. This will be a fun and casual trip for all group members, there will be no special skills or special gear required.

Snowshoes, skis (downhill and cross country), and snowboards are available for rent at Yosemite for those in the group desiring to take part in such activities.

= Details =

=== Trip Date ===
We've selected the trip date based on people's availability and Richard's schedule:
* 13-15 March, 2015

If you are interested in joining the group trip, email Zachary Sun. We will have housing openings up to two weeks' before departure.

=== Trip Itinerary ===
* Friday - Meet your carpool from early morning to early afternoon and drive to Yosemite. Check into cabins.
* Saturday - Hang out at Yosemite. There are a couple of possible day activities depending on the snow state, including hiking, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing at Badger Pass, "research" if you're so inclined, or just hanging around camp :) Equipment can be rented at Yosemite.
* Sunday - Open activities (including day hikes or sleeping in) in the morning, return to Pasadena in the afternoon/evening.

= Meals =
This is old, will update with new information:
<pre>
John will coordinate the group breakfasts, lunches, and snacks to help save on the trip cost. We will plan to bring two breakfasts and two lunchs. For dinners there is a local cafe where we can apparently get pizza and other food items. The following items are suggested for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Please let John know if you want anything added to this list

*Breakfasts: bagels, cream cheese, butter, orange juice, oatmeal (variety of flavors)
*Lunches: sandwiches (wheat bread, pita, salami/cold cuts, cheese, lettuce, tomatos, mustard, peanut butter, jelly), lemonade, apples, bananas, carrots (peeled)
*Snacks: Granola bars, trail mix, apples, bananas, cookies, lemonade, dark chocolate! (and some milk chocolate too...), oh and Skittles for Richard.

There is supposed to be an eating area at Curry Village with a toaster and microwave, so we will hopefully be able to warm the bagels...
</pre>

= Packing List =

'''Head and Hands'''
* Winter hat
* Gloves or mittens
* Scarf (optional)

'''Upper Body Layers'''

'''Lower Body'''

'''Feet'''
* 1 pair hiking boots or sturdy sneakers (if you want to snowshoe you should bring boots)
* Socks

'''Travel Gear'''

'''Sleeping'''
* The tents come with cots, but to supplment you can either bring blankets or a sleeping bag. (This is not necessarily necessary in the heated tents and cabins, but very much so in the unheated tents)! You can rent both from the [http://www.caltechy.org/services/rentals/outrent/ Caltech Y] for a small fee.

'''Micellaneous'''
* 2 quart-sized water bottles
* 1 small flashlight or headlamp

SURF 2013: Investigating physical methods of protecting linear DNA fragments in cell-free expression systems

'''Investigating physical methods of protecting linear DNA fragments in cell-free expression systems'''

In vitro transcription and translation (TX-TL) reactions are increasingly being used and optimized for protein synthesis and screening purposes. More recently, these systems have become popular for a bottom-up approach to synthetic biology. The Murray Lab uses a cell-free expression toolbox that works with E. coli sigma factors [1]. The E. coli endogenous holoenzyme E7 is used as the primary transcription machinery. Elementary circuit motifs, such as multiple stage cascades, AND gate and negative feedback loops are constructed using gene fragments packed on to a plasmid and have been characterized in this system.

Current protocol requires the use of circuit elements in high concentration as plasmids for optimum transcription and translation. High concentration of plasmids requires ligation of the designed PCR product onto plasmid backbone, transformation into cells and further purification steps.

One way to make the process faster and completely ‘synthetic’ is to use PCR product directly in the cell free reaction mixture. The main advantage of this method is that DNA circuits produced using PCR at high concentration can be directly added to the cell free expression system.
However, there are certain exonucleases in the TX-TL system that destroys linear DNA. The aim of this project is to investigate different methods to make PCR products viable in the TX TL system. Several methods including circularizing linear DNA using thermal ligation during PCR, using DNA nanostructures as adaptors [2] to protect the ends will be investigated during the course of this study.

'''Reliably Reuseable Standard Biological Parts'''

Vivek K Mutalik,PhD 
California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3) 
and Berkeley National Lab, Berkeley

3 May (Thu), 10:30-11:30 
114 Steele
</center>

The process of engineering biology is limited because many natural genetic elements function differently when reused in novel combinations or across changing contexts. Foundational synthetic biology research aims to standardize biological parts in support of more reliable reuse or develop computational methods that optimize individual parts to work within specific contexts. However, the capabilities realized by current methods remain poor. For example, while it is now possible to re-synthesize natural bacterial genomes, best available methods for engineering novel prokaryotic gene expression systems still require experimental validation on a single gene basis.

In this talk, I will present my recent work at the BIOFAB, an initiative that is committed to the proposition that a collection of well-characterized and refined genetic parts will eventually allow us to achieve this goal.In addition to the development of library of promoters (constitutaive and inducible) and terminators, We have devised a method that allows for reliable functional coupling of prokaryotic transcription and translation control elements thereby enabling a reliable expression of genes regardless of local gene context. Our hope is that these well characterized components will aid genetic engineers to achieve their own design goals faster and in a more predictable way.The datasets for these libraries are freely accessible via our BIoFAB registry.

The schedule for group and subgroup meetings is given below. Everyone should sign up for times to talk in the subgroup meetings.


==== Directions: ====
* '''Biocircuits (Tue or Thu, 3-5 pm)''': graduate students should give 1 longer presentation per term + 1-2 additional research updates; postdocs, undergrads should give 1-2 research updates.
* '''NCS (Wed, 4-6 pm)''': grad students should speak 2 times per term for 15-20 min (+ discussion), postdocs and undergrads at least once
* '''Robotics (Wed, 4-6 pm)''': grad students and postdocs should speak 2 times per term for 15-20 min (+ discussion), undergrads at least once; will also do ad hoc updates
* '''Group meeting talks (WThF, 12-1:15)''': postdocs and senior grad students (G4+) should feel free to sign up for a group meeting talk (biocircuit grad students: this can be in place of longer subgroup talk)


<center>
'''Please sign up for at least one presentation in the first six weeks of the term.'''
