Gel Image for PCR Result

This is my PCR product gel image, post post for "shuang"... Hehe...

Figure 1: PCR Products (100bp ladder, Ami-203, C391, Cj18, CUD-68, Cuj131, -ve)

Figure 2: PCR Products (100bp ladder, -ve, Ami-203, C391, Cj18, CUD-68, Cuj131)

Discussion:

- Thinner gel better, coz you can see more bands for Figure 2 (which is thinner gel)

- Smaller EZ Vision volume (loading + staining solution) is better, coz less dark area for Figure 2

- 3% gel not easy to cast, coz there is some "condong" bands at lane 6 and 7 in Figure 2, which is caused by uneven gel solidification

- FYP not finish yet... :) + :(

P/S: Hope to see other interesting results... Hehe...

Life and Death Situation

Yo, everybody, put down your MC notes and turn your attention to this briefly. There is something REALLY REALLY important in the course email. As the title implied, it is life-or-death. I can't post it here because it is "sensitive".

To those people who STILL DON'T KNOW OUR COURSE EMAIL EVEN AFTER 3 YEARS... it is biotech0507@live.com.my

The password is.... please ask your friends.

By the way, those in group 3, except Kitson, no need to read the mail.

Ok, you can either read this notice from your Intranet or if you want shortcut, click on the image below to view, it is about the Student E-Authorisation Slip, effective from this September 2009 Examination onwards.

The Big Thing

The last big thing we had where the entire course is involved is the T-shirt design. Now, shouldn't we do something big again to let our years in Utar immortalized as a beautiful memory?

What some of us have in mind is to make SKETCHES/DRAMAS/MOVIE CLIPS . Now before you start to say anything, here is a simple thing to do: Go to the polls (scroll up to view the poll and vote).

The plan is to have 1 major drama that involves the entire course, probably by featuring us (in a condensed/compact version) from week 1 to the exam week, stressing on Biotech course as a whole and perhaps symptoms of CSUS.

There will be other sub-dramas just for entertaining purposes.

When the voting shows clear indication of positivity, then I will list down the crew/posts for the dramas. Also, there will be a blog post for brainstorming/brainwriting for ideas.

Show your support. As a Biotechie, we are known for our integrity and cooperation.

Vote at the poll!

Reminder

1. There is MC tutorial on Monday. Please do your tutorial. Download it online from WBLE.

2. Remember that we have 2 IMA lab tests - one on this week's Wednesday, another on the following week's Wednesday.

3. Bring GRAPH PAPERS and RULER on Dr Ramani's lab test. REMEMBER.

4. For the lab briefing, it is held in conjunction with the lab orientation. So, choose the slot which corresponds to your lab and attend it. Attendance is hence compulsory.

15 Malaysia

Ok, I know it isn't a post on anything pertaining to our course BUT, but but, as a Malaysian, we should be a part of this too. A part of what? A part of this upcoming event - the release of 15 Malaysia!

What is it?
It is the a project consisting of 15 short movie clips pioneered by Pete Teo which features the same cast from Malaysian Artist For Unity (MAFU) Video, Here in My Home.

Who are the stars?
Not only local artistes are involved, even politicians, yes, real, breathing, politicians, are involved. Here are some TOP names among them: Nik Aziz (fuiyoh, never expect him to be involved), Khairy Jamaluddin, Namewee/Wee Meng Chee, Liow Tiong Lai etc.

What is the plot?
As expected, it surrounds racial discrimination but nothing sensitive. It encompasses bribery (always a hot cake), how to conduct halal cooking(it is freaking humourous), freedom of expression, party-hopping (recently hot), Malaysian football(...) , Islamic banking.

Where can I watch it/read about it for more info?
So far, you can visit any sites on the google search hits. I suggest this one. The homepage for the movies is here.

Here is one of the 15 previews featuring Khairy and Meng Chee in 'Meter':
