Part 1: Benchling & In-silico Gel Art Part 0a: Designing my Gel Art For this week’s lab, I aimed to create a cool shape that would be easily noticeable and bring a smile to whoever sees it. After thinking through a few ideas, I decided to try creating a rubber duck shape :)
Python Script for Opentrons Artwork In this week’s lab, we used the Opentrons OT-2 pipetting robot and genetically engineered E. coli bacteria to create bio art on black (charcoal) agar plates! The bacteria were engineered to express fluorescent proteins (such as GFP – Green Fluorescent Protein), allowing them to glow in multiple colors under ultraviolet light.
