Lab writeups:
This lab covered standard laboratory practices. The overview of this lab can be found here. I reviewed the source material and concepts from the following links: https://thecrashcourse.com/courses/unit-conversion-significant-figures-crash-course-chemistry-2/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPidlCmymVg As an online student, I could not preform the protocol.

Info As a fully online Committed Learner, I do not have lab access to complete the wet lab portions of this assignment. I document my labs to acknowledge that I reviewed the provided material and answered any required questions on the website. This is the link to my Opentrons artwork code. AI Contributions: I used AI to generate large portions of my code as I am largely unfamiliar with python programming. I used Gemini AI and asked it to integrate my coordinates for my artwork into the code in Colab.
Week 4 Lab: Protein Design Part I
Info This lab is effectively integrated into the homework portion of week 4. The lab work is documented here.
Week 5 Lab: Protein Design Part II
Info This lab is effectively integrated into the homework portion of week 4. The lab work is documented here.
Info As a fully online Committed Learner, I do not have lab access to complete the wet lab portions of this assignment. I document my labs to acknowledge that I reviewed the provided material and answered any required questions on the website. In this case, there were no questions to answer so I only reviewed the material.
Week 7 Lab: Neuromorphic Circuits
Info As a fully online Committed Learner, I do not have lab access to complete the wet lab portions of this assignment. I document my labs to acknowledge that I reviewed the provided material and answered any required questions on the website. In this case, there was a wet lab and a dry lab portion of the lab work. I answered the questions and completed the dry lab work below.
Info As a fully online Committed Learner, I do not have lab access to complete the wet lab portions of this assignment. I document my labs to acknowledge that I reviewed the provided material and answered any required questions on the website. In this case, there were no questions in the Lab work portion so I could not participate in this lab.
Week 10 Lab: Mass Spectrometry
Info As a fully online Committed Learner, I do not have lab access to complete the wet lab portions of this assignment. I document my labs to acknowledge that I reviewed the provided material and answered any required questions on the website. In this case, there were no lab work questions. However, the lab document provided an appendix from the Lab work to be used for the homework shown here.
Week 11 Lab: Introduction to Cloud Laboratories
Info This week’s lab was effectively part of the Week 11 Homework. Therefore, I copy and pasted my homework on this webpage. Part A: The 1,536 Pixel Artwork Canvas | Collective Artwork For the artwork, I contributed to four pixels on the DNA strand. I really liked how the whole community came together to work on this one project. It was nice to interact with all the other students in the HTGAA course.
Week 12 Lab: Bioproduction of Beta-Carotene and Lycopene
Info As a fully online Committed Learner, I do not have lab access to complete the wet lab portions of this assignment. I document my labs to acknowledge that I reviewed the provided material and answered any required questions on the website. In this case, there was web lab work and questions that were required for Committed Learners to answer which I did below. Post Lab Questions - Mandatory for All Students Which genes when transferred into E. coli will induce the production of lycopene and beta-carotene, respectively? Introducing the Erwinia herbicola genes CrtE, CrtI, and CrtB into E. coli directs the metabolic conversion of endogenous farnesyl diphosphate into lycopene. To achieve beta-carotene production, the pathway is extended by transferring those same three core genes along with a fourth gene, CrtY, which encodes lycopene β-cyclase to cyclize the terminal groups.
