Hey everyone! Hope you're all well! I feel like all of my weeks are just blurring by as it's a similar routine every week and before I know it, it's the weekend again! Two of my best friends came round to visit this weekend and we had a lovely little catch up! Then during labs this past week I did a transfection. I basically have a gene of interest which I inserted into circular DNA (plasmid) and I put it into bacterial cells so they'd grow up loads up my DNA for me, I then extracted this DNA and mutated a few different base pairs. On Thursday I tried to insert this "bacterial" DNA into human cells and hopefully they took it up into their cells and expressed my gene of interest. So on Monday I am going to find out whether it actually worked or not and if there are any interesting results, so fingers crossed!
