Research Idea, Design and Collaboration
Well, generally they are expecting that you have an overview about that what you will doing in your experiments. Understanding the techniques which you will use to get you to your target/aim. Normally, they should give you an main project which will be splitted or added into small project during your Phd Journay.
Its not easy with your description to make an clear research statment. You know that breat cancer is well studied field in oncology. So you must specify little bit more.
Field in which you will be involved are:
1. Molecular Biology - Recombinant DNA Technology, Cloning, PCR, qPCR, DNA Microarray, etc.
2. Biochemistry - Recombinant Protein Technology, SDS-PAGE, Wester-Blot, IP, Pulldown etc.
3. Cell Biology - Primary Cell, Immortalized Cell Line, Transient/Stable Transfection, siRNA and/or shRNA, MTT Test, Apoptosis Test, Proliferation Assay etc.
4. Screening - small molecules Library, Inhibitors etc.
If i could help you in this way.

#147443 Problem with cloning - what is wrong?

Molecular Cloning
Well , check your primer again but it is always better to have two different RE . You do not have a direction problem or multimerization of insert. Furthermore, your insert and vector is really big in size, so check again different ligation condition. The big colonies mean that your CIAP reaction was not completly successful.

Q5: It seems that NdeI is having some difficulties cutting my DNA. Is there a reason for that?A5: NdeI activity is sensitive to contaminants present in DNA isolated with standard miniprep protocols. Further purification of the DNA by a column or dialyzing the contaminant from the DNA may help increase the activity of the enzyme on the isolated DNA substrate.Q6: NdeI seems to be digesting my DNA correctly, but when I try to ligate it, I obtain no colonies. Is there a potential explanation for what I am observing?A6: NdeI is a very robust enzyme. If the substrate DNA is digested for extended periods of time, we have found evidence that the enzyme will remove some additional nucleotides. Digestion of DNA with NdeI over 4 hrs is not recommended.
Maybe your gene is multiple cloned into the vector.And using 2 or 3 colonies is pretty few. And your primer might be not specific enought.

You have right you have single cut RE. Sorry about confusing.

It might be that your digestion of your Insert is not working out you have blunt ends. So it will just ligated several inserts. But i am not sure. And i hope you are not using BL21 for plasmid replication. Not recA mutation. But BLR have it or other K 12 strains. And are sure that you are not cutting into your plasmid?
#147858 what is the contamination in buffers

General Lab Techniques
Are the buffers bought from a company and is there SDS inside? One PhD in our Lab changed the whole Kit because she was not able to read. How stuipid, isnt? Generally, most buffer are store in RT. If there is contamination then it is quite a old solution. Try to for cell culture always aotuclaving the solution and the others in the Lab as you know wiht ddH2O and store tightly closed. Make new once if frequently used. To my knowledge like TAE or TBE or Running Buffer you can make stock solutions so there is no chance to growth for contaminants. And its not specific for TRIS its just a matter of handling your solution. If i was able to help you.

Hi,
how can İ best get in E. coli or Mammalian cells an protein expression yield of more than 1g/l?
Any kind modifications?
