The lab rat part of me


This is a photograph of DNA under UV light - it represents RFLPs of my clone library.

At the moment I'm supposed to be looking for duplicate profiles and selecting only the unique ones for sequencing (something a software can do but not without some of my own tweaking!). Other things on my tasks list includes annotating small chunks of genome sequences, microcosm survival study of my bacteria (after it has finished breaking down pollutants), metabolites detection on the GC-MS, looking for mega plasmids in my strains using PFGE, enzyme kinetics experiments and finally write my paper! I love science and I love that my project involve techniques from so many different discipline incl. microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology etc. Ok so maybe I should go and actually do these experiments instead of blogging about it ha!
