      Part II: Pre-assignment for BioBricks experiments Tehtävä

      Questions need to be answered in written form, write 200 words

      Pre-assignment is done individually

      In part II you'll assemble a plasmid for expression of the fluorescent reporter protein GFP. GFP expression is often used as a proxy to measure the promoter activity. Apart from fluorescent reporter proteins, what other kind of experimental techniques can you use for testing of promoter activities? Which are the most direct/indirect methods to determine the activity of a promoter?

      In these experiments you will isolate plasmid DNA from E. coli cells. Describe a method, how plasmid DNA can be isolated from E. coli. Provide as many details as are necessary for understanding how the method functions.

    • Quiz -tehtävä icon

      Complete the feedback questionnaire related to virtual laboratories and assessment methods to further improve our virtual laboratories, assessment methods and the course design.

      As I explained in kick-off lecture, feedback will be used in a study to improve virtual laboratories, assessment methods, the course as well the master's programme which is currently going a renewal for next years students. So your feedback is highly important! Feedback will be anonymous and takes about 10-15 minutes. 

      Also, if you answer the feedback questionnaire before the last session (1.12), you will receive a lunch ticket to Mau-kas restaurant (value 11,50 EUR). In the last session, show me that you have answered feedback and I will give you the lunch ticket.  If you have any questions related to study, you can contact me for more details.
