@ATinyGreenCell This happened to a friend of mine, but it was an unannonated critical 4 bases critical for expression. Discovered months later after rounds of yeast experiments with no effect 😭

Putting this together was easier than RE cloning 😅 - thanks to @GenScript!

Excited to kick off another year teaching the practical component of BioE300: Introduction to Genetic Engineering of Algae! Proud to still wear my badge from ACPFG's "Get Into Genes" program. Here's to another amazing semester! 🌱🧫 🦠✨

@JaimeGMD @Kylelauersen @KAUST_BESE They run basically 24/7 and only had to replace the drive belts once in 3 years!

Ah, turns out to be unrelated. Our bot needed a device reset. Wasn't clear from the logs 🙄

Sent off plasmids for sequencing to @plasmidsaurus last Thursday. Data back today! So quick! Even after travelling ~11,100 km(~7000 mi/freedom units) 🤯🤯

Much more comfortable being behind the camera with BioE300 students in the SSB lab today 😅 PhD students/TAs @razanzyahya & Malak taking them & @tk_ozawa through #Chlamy transformations 🧫

Check out my favourite (robotic) labmate for Chlamydomonas engineering!

[Kyle J. Lauersen @Kylelauersen]

I will be giving a seminar highlighting our recent work using the colony picking robots from @SingerInst for engineering Chlamydomonas. Hope to see you there 28th September! https://t.co/HSRMpmjStd
