Can you count to 97?

amethyst73I just submitted 97 samples to our local processor for sequencing. It took quite some time to first draw up the sample sheet then fill in the actual plate! And it means that I'll have a helluvalotta data to deal with when I get back from vacation. But that's a good thing - these will tell me if the several clones that I did Gateway transformation of worked. :) I'll continue plugging along on this part of the project till all my guys are in the two expression vectors we're using... then it'll be off to the races with actually expressing the guys!
This post also gives me the opportunity to show off my new icon. (I got it off this page at Wikipedia if anyone's curious.) It's a so-called cartoon of the structure of an immunoglobulin domain. This is the common element of all the genes/proteins that I'm playing with - all of them have at least one of these. If you're curious, I can generally recommend this other page at Wikipedia to find out more about the superfamily of proteins that share this structural motif.
Now, off to vacation!
