Weekly homework submissions:
Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
First, describe a biological engineering application or tool you want to develop and why. This could be inspired by an idea for your HTGAA class project and/or something for which you are already doing in your research, or something you are just curious about.
Week 2 HW: DNA Read, Write, & Edit
Part 1: Benchling & In-silico Gel Art My original idea was to create two sister chromatids, since most of the patterns from the Enzymes were scattered vertical lines, and they kind of looked like alleles inside a chromosome. I had some trouble creating the centromere of the chromosome because none of the enzymes alone created just one line in the middle of the ladder (so around 800 bp), so I picked SacI and SalI and ignored the top line at 12.0 kb.
Opentrons Artwork For this activity, I decided to do Majora’s Mask from The Legend of Zelda: To view the design in the Opentrons page, follow this link: https://opentrons-art.rcdonovan.com/?id=7f6p4e5817h6ar0 To view the full code in Google Colab, follow this link: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1FpWo3znYjL6Z7uWbc_opzQbmgbDo33rL?usp=sharing Post Lab Questions 1. Find and describe a published paper that utilizes the Opentrons or an automation tool to achieve novel biological applications.
