diginetso let's say I have a cell with a gene that I want to transfect to another cell.  So I use restriction enyzmes to snip out the DNA I need, amplify it with PCR.  How does one reassemble the different fragments in the right order? Or am I misunderstanding the process09:18
kanzureno you probably won't be able to use a restriction enzyme like that09:19
kanzurethere's probably no restriction site nearby09:20
ParahSailin_first, restriction enzyme step is redundant09:20
kanzureyou want to PCR the gene out. so you need to go design yourself some good primers that target the gene in question.09:20
diginetoooohhh, I see, okay that makes sense09:20
diginetso just get primers soo that PCR can selectively target the area in question09:21
kanzureyep.. then you will probably run it through a gel. once it's separated you will cut your gene out of the gel and run it through a gel extraction protocol.09:22
kanzureParahSailin_: well, i'm sure you would be better at explaining this09:22
diginetokay, but let's say for instance my gene is 10k long.  Someone earlier said I would need around 10 primers or so.  I trust the nucleotides will bond with the primers and form a complete sequence?09:22
kanzure10 primers?09:23
diginetToo many?09:23
ParahSailin_no you need a single primer pair09:23
diginetOooh okay09:23
kanzureone for the start09:23
diginet(I probably misunderstood them)09:23
kanzureone for the end09:23
diginetahhh right09:23
ParahSailin_they were probably saying you'd need 10 primers to sequence it09:23
diginetOOOH yes, that's it09:23
diginetokay, this isn't as bad as I thought :P09:23
diginetSo, the gel is to filter out the gene, since I know how long (and thus how heavy) it will be?09:24
ParahSailin_the gel is to purify your fragment yes09:25
kanzureelectrophoresis lets you separate dna by molecular weight09:25
diginetyeah09:25
diginetthanks guys09:26
kanzureno problem spiderman09:26
diginethahaha :)09:26
diginetooh one more question, so let's say I need to add a marker, antibiotic resistance, or a promoter, how is that done?09:26
digineterr, "such as. . . " in front of antibiotic09:27
kanzureare you going to sequence the fragment from the gel extraction?09:27
ParahSailin_you clone your fragment into a plasmid09:28
diginetoh right09:31
diginetkanzure, I found a spider silk gene which has already been fully sequenced, so I can skip that step09:31

kanzureah right i remember09:32
ParahSailin_no need to sequence anyway09:41
ParahSailin_if you you have primers for the end, you can do whatever with it09:41
kanzurewell i was hoping to save him the plasmid manipulation steps09:41
kanzure"just print out your plasmid"09:41
ParahSailin_that will be nice09:44

kanzurehrm.. isn't this that diybio guy who was doing fermentation?09:51
kanzurehttp://diybio.org/2010/11/22/i-brew-therefore-i-am09:51
kanzurethat guy.09:51
kanzure"is IBM's Worldwide Director of Marketing, Big Data, Health Care, and Life Sciences" alright then..09:51
diginetI'm saying, I have the entire sequence (I'm switching to L. hesperus from N. clavipes, the former of which has had the entire MaSp1 and 2 genes sequenced)09:52
kanzureeah i know09:52
kanzure*yeah09:52
diginetI was speaking to ParahSailin_, haha, sorry for not being clear09:52
diginetso I can just design a primer for the end of it09:52
kanzureif you have the sequence already you can probably just synthesize it for a few megabucks09:53
kanzureor email the person who published the paper and ask if you could pay for a copy or two09:53
diginetwouldn't getting the primers be cheaper? someone said some company was doing it for like $6, so $12 total?09:55
kanzureyes but if you get primers you need to go find some cells to get the genome09:55
diginettrue, having black widows around, eeeh, not too fun09:56
diginetfor that matter, I could email one of the people who collected the C. darwini specimen, and ask for a swab, and then try to sequence that gene, lol09:56
diginetexcept I don't know any of its sequence, so that might be rather hard09:56
kanzurego look at the MaSp1 gene on ncbi and contact the person who submitted it - they probably have the gene isolated in a test tube somewhere that they could PCR and mail to you09:57
kanzuresecond scenario: someone probably has genomic DNA for black widows. then you just ask them to ship you a copy.09:57
diginetgood idea, the paper was published in an open access journal, so maybe they're more DIY friendly?09:58
kanzurenot really10:00
kanzureworst case scenario you might have to convince ParahSailin_ to receive something for you10:01
diginettrue10:01
diginetbecause you know, I could be AN EVIL MAD SCIENTIST TRYING TO BREED AN ARMY OF MUTANT CHIMPANZEE SPIDER HYBRIDS TO DO MY BIDDING10:02
diginetbut that's not the case, definitely not10:02
diginetI'm definitely not breeding super fast maturing primates with hyperintelligence10:02
kanzurespiders would probably be the place to start to breed for interesting brains10:03
kanzureinsects are easier to handle than chimps10:03
kanzure"Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exception of air and sea colonization."10:04
kanzureok guys. how do we get spiders to colonize the sky. this has to be done.10:04
kanzureiirc some spiders shoot silk parachutes10:04
diginetmeh, if I were to do something insane, it would be somehow ressurect dinosaurs10:04
diginet(caveat: I'm not deluded so as to believe that is remotely feasible)10:05
kanzureoops spiders don't count as insects. my bad.10:05
diginetactually, I'd rather have a pet dwarf mammoth10:05
diginetthey were about the size of a Great Dane iirc10:05
diginetthe latest known fossils of them are found in Weyland Island, Siberia10:06
diginetI PROPOSE AN EXPEDITION10:06
kanzureyou could probably get spiders to colonize the sea surface if you get them to spin webs for rafts10:07
diginethaha10:07
diginetwell, actually, there's a species of spider which builds silk submarines basically10:08
kanzurefor eggs?10:08
ParahSailin_seqwright would sequence that gene for like 100 bucks anyway10:11
kanzure"Spiderlings are known to survive without food travelling in air currents of jet streams for 25 days or longer."10:14
ParahSailin_that word.. spiderlings.. gives me the creeps10:14

kanzurewell, presumably this is not in factory condition14:29
jrayhawk"12:07 < klafka> particularly insurance companies" "12:07 < klafka> actually that IS basically how it happened" no, the essential factor was fraudulant credit ratings standards (A-rated CDO) due to the foxes guarding the henhouse. The CDS market and the low interest rates certainly made it worse, but it still would've otherwise happened.14:31
jrayhawkThe CDS bubble has not actually burst, and it would be complete fucking chaos if it did.14:31
jrayhawkIt would probably be the end of most first world currencies.14:31

delinquentmeok kanzure heres what im thinking on the journals15:41
delinquentmelocate urls and names for all the research journals15:41
kanzureok15:41
delinquentmepublishers and urls rather15:41
delinquentmethen the difficult bit is locating the index for each of the journals15:42
delinquentmeso out source that15:42
kanzurewhy outsource it15:42
kanzurei mean, are you having trouble?15:42
delinquentmeobscene # of man hours15:43
delinquentmelike youve got 21 journals listed15:43
delinquentmethere are thousands15:43
kanzure21 publishers.15:44
delinquentmepublishers15:44

kanzureok so 2 hours per scraper per publisher15:44
kanzure40 hours15:44

kanzuredelinquentme: the scrapers are getting bibtex for each paper in each journal15:50
delinquentmealso astrid15:50
delinquentmemy scrapers right now are simply creating json entries of the indexes of all these journals15:51
delinquentmenot everyone has bibtex downloadable citations15:51
kanzure"indexes" means "papers"15:51
kanzureyes but everyone has the same information that could be represented as bibtex15:51
kanzurei don't care if it is bibtex or not as long as the same metadata is parsed correctly15:51
delinquentmeindexes means Science journal of the shiskabob Volumes 1-24 years 2001-2012 issues XY15:51

nmz787classes? who uses those anymore16:02
nmz787should all the scraped data be going into postgres or sqllite?16:03
kanzurewell16:03
kanzureright now it's going into flatfiles16:03
kanzurei think mongodb is a good solution for this16:04
kanzurei'd prefer sqlite over postgresql16:04
kanzureshuttup i'm coding :P16:04
kanzurepart of the reason for mongodb is that some publishers/entities have different schemas and this isn't entirely doable with sqlite without creating separate models all the time or new columns or something silly16:04
fenndata regularity is more important than the exact storage mechanism16:05
fennyou will probably need some intermediate steps16:05
kanzureyes but i don't want to add a special new column to a db just because some publisher has an extra random hash i need to store16:05
kanzurealthough.. sqlite would win me minimalism points16:05
fennnmz787: so i'm thinking of going with something like this, it seems more reproducible and i know exactly what i'm getting: http://www.amazon.com/12mm-Guideway-System-Linear-Motion/dp/B002BBJFA216:06
fenninstead of surplus junk16:06
fennwish ceramic weren't so expensive16:09
fenni guess it doesnt matter for 1 micron accuracy16:09
nmz787is there a better place to get this type of thing other than amazon?16:10
fenni'm looking at vxb.com16:10
fennthere are possibly other sites, just having problems figuring out the correct keyword16:11
fenni thought this was called "lab rail" but apparently that doesn't work16:11
nmz787so we'd need 4 of these, and 2 screws?16:11
nmz787slide rail?16:11
-!- strages_shop [~strages@adsl-98-81-81-106.hsv.bellsouth.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap16:12
fennprobably want to chop it in half, so 2 of them, and 2 more bearing blocks (triangular support not square)16:12
fennand 2 screws, and motors, and motor mounts, and bearing blocks, and a big ol plate to bolt it all to16:12
nmz787hmm, well the linear stages new were, what, $2.5k?16:13
fenni'm thinking either a granite surface plate from enco, or one of those optics breadboards16:13
nmz787so that's the price we need to beat16:13
fenni'm sure it will be less than $1k16:14
nmz787it would be nice to buy something off the shelf, so we don't have to invest in time and research for the gantry16:15
-!- strages_shop is now known as strages_260016:15
fennyeah, it might be possible to just get a zen mill16:15
nmz787that v90 fireball is 5080 microns per turn16:16
fennyou'd have to get new screws of course16:16
nmz787wikipedia says steppers are usually 200 steps per rev16:16
nmz787so that's ~25 microns per full step16:16
nmz787bigger than i'd like, but it could work16:17
nmz787unless the screw is too tight as you've mentioned16:17
nmz787why get new screws, too tight?16:17
nmz787(the anti-backlash nut)16:17
fennyou can rely on at least half-steps16:18
fenn"why get new screws"?16:18
nmz787it wouldn't be too hard to get an interferometer on there, but i don't know if vibration would kill things16:18
fenni dont like the design of the zen mill though; it's basically just a bunch of plastic with wimpy rods and non-kinematic bearings16:18
nmz787if vibes were too much, we'd have to sample pretty fast and do some DSP on the output16:19
fennif there's vibration, fix the vibration16:19
fennbecause that will fuck with the channel smoothness too16:19
fennactive positioning (fast tool servo) is still high magick16:20
fenni'd like to learn how to do that, but not on this project16:20
delinquentmezen mill?16:22
uniqanomalyguys you think there is rebound effect with tDCS?16:23
uniqanomalylike in sudden discontinuation16:24
delinquentmeuniqanomaly, id bet that the rebound is comparable to the focus gains16:24
delinquentmeif there was any16:25
fennyes, you'll turn into a hardcore wireheading junky16:25

nmz787fenn: "screw laser cutter" returns some stuff mentioning ball screw16:27
fennyes ball screws would be good16:27
* delinquentme keeps it professional16:28
fennsince this is an optics thing, we can get away with a spring to eliminate backlash, instead of anti-backlash nuts16:28
fenni don't get why aluminum extrusion rails are so expensive16:30
nmz787yeah16:31
delinquentmefenn, how does one use a spring to eliminate backlash?16:31
nmz787especially when cdroms, scanners, commodity shit has what we need16:31
katsmeow-afkyou push the piece aganst the nut, maintaining contact at all times16:31
delinquentmefenn, specific reason you're using alu? not just polished steel?16:31
delinquentmekatsmeow-afk, do you have a diagram?16:32
fennscanners is not a bad idea. they usually use plain bearings though, which will introduce slop16:32
katsmeow-afksteel rusts, al is light and available16:32
katsmeow-afka diagram of a spring? umm, no16:32
fenndelinquentme: i'd rather the whole system be made from materials with similar coefficient of thermal expansion16:32
fennkeeps it from warping out of shape16:33
delinquentmenice idea.. but how much heat do you think will be transferred16:33
delinquentmenm16:33
fennnmz787: we will probably end up using your interferometer idea to check the accuracy of the table16:33
fennjust for ambient temperature change16:34
nmz787what about doing crazy math on the CAD file, to produce what we want with just a CDROM... i.e. 1 axis plus a rotating disc of PDMS16:34

nmz787seems we just need to suck it up and start a parts list16:38
fennyeah i'm doing that, just shopping around first16:39
nmz787it would be nice to find the rails and screws that are appropriate, and worry about the base, etc later... that way we can start with an optics breadboard, then if we want to sell them as kits, just machine the right mounting board out of aluminum later16:40
nmz787have you done this before, or are you just as naive when it comes to these rails and things as me?16:40
delinquentmemisumi is a decent parts distributor16:40
delinquentmelots of metric16:41
nmz787should i start joining CNC forums and posting that we need light-duty mini gantry?16:41
fennno16:45
fennCNC people don't know anything about precision16:45
fennyou could talk to toastydeath but he'll probably just start going on and on about air bearings16:46
fenni've dome some projects like this but not with an eye for precision16:46
fennhmm16:48
fenn"Mic 6 I have seen was cast Al. Blanchard ground, guaranteed to be .001 flat. It really sucks to cut. It doesn't form nice chips...pretty gummy. It's lacking the alloying agents of it's cousins. The one advantage to Mic 6.......it's extremeley stable. When a larger pattern is cut out of a sheet it usually stays relatively flat."16:48
nmz787maglev this shit instead of screws16:49
fennpossible but spend a lot more on electronics to control linear motors16:50
fennmaybe the granite isn't really necessary and can just bolt on mass in the form of lead weights16:52

nmz787how many mm thick do you think the rods need to be16:57
nmz787?16:57
nmz787seems like the 6mm or 1/4" would suffice16:58
nmz787doesn't look like they have trucks/bearings with mounts for the 6mm rails16:59
fennassuming the plate provides the stiffness, small is fine16:59
fennthere are 8mm trucks and 12mm trucks16:59
nmz787i see that16:59
nmz787these prices seem pretty reasonable17:00
nmz787seems like we could have the gantry, minus motors for <~$10017:00
fenni don't see any support rail for 8mm so i'm thinking of going with 12mm17:01
fennno you need support rail17:01
fennso more like $25017:01

nmz787you think it will sag?17:03
fennmore worried about vibration17:03

fennmy first cnc gantry was freely suspended rods, let's just say i was surprised at how much motion was possible with little force17:05
nmz78744"inch support rod, cut in 3 would be long enough... we'd still need 2 though17:05
nmz787there's $14017:05
fennyeah i think 22" per axis would be big enough17:05
fennplus bearings, plus bearing blocks, plus steppers, plus leadscrews and nuts and misc hardware17:06
nmz787well if we're thinking 6" per side of the chip17:06
nmz78722" inches is still overkill17:06
fennyeah17:06
nmz787what about warping if we cut it17:07
fenncould get one 78" and cut into 417:07
fennput wet rags on the rail before cutting17:07
nmz787cut it slowwwllylyyy17:07
fenns/before/during/17:07
fenni dont think the rail is hardened so can use bandsaw, which will reduce warping to negligible17:08
nmz787we can also email vxb to see if they can special order the 6mm support rod17:09
nmz787i really don't think we need so much material17:09

kanzureuse the skdb.git post-receive-hook that controls gnusha18:50
kanzureoh i guess i have to do that18:50
delinquentmetrue.eql? true # => true18:51
delinquentmeniftah18:51
kanzurefenn: try now.. push up some crap, see if it works, then git reset --HARD head^ and push -f18:52
kanzureoh it uses /home/gnusha/.irssi/socket18:53
kanzurejrayhawk: what?18:53
delinquentmeor git log18:54
delinquentmeand get the hash that you want just incase18:54

kanzureyeah i'm not sure what jrayhawk is thinking :(19:05
kanzurei've disabled the hook for now19:05
fennwe could probably make 2 of these for about the same cost, since the rail and leadscrew comes in 6 foot lengths19:06
nmz787lol19:06
nmz787sounds like it is more prone to bending during shipping19:06
nmz787if so long19:06
fennmaybe19:07
nmz787the short sections may get cut right after they're machined19:07
fennjust don't order a bunch of other long stuff in the same shipment19:07
fennthey will put it in a cardboard tube19:07

charlieschwabachso I have been lurking and just went through logs..19:15
fennyou probably have to rename it to .mdwn or .txt19:15
charlieschwabachthis might be worth looking into as a bearing: http://makerslide.com/19:15
fenncharlieschwabach: i refuse to use anything with maker in the name19:15
kanzurecharlieschwabach: isn't that the buildlog person19:15
charlieschwabachyes, it is the build log guy19:16
charlieschwabachhaha @maker in the name19:16
nmz787charlesschwabach: that looks too crude19:16
fennalso i think that's a retarded idea19:16
kanzurenmz787: well. maybe you can convince fenn to use google docs or piratepad19:17
charlieschwabachyeah, he uses it for a laser cutter, but I'm sure not w/ the accuracy you guys are looking for19:17
nmz787kanzure: with pidgin is there a way to easily click on someones name to have it pasted into the messagebox?19:17
nmz787google is decent19:17
fenncharlieschwabach: you can just lay some round rod into the grooves in a standard t-slot extrusion19:17
delinquentmenmz787, fenn if you guys have people @ universites you like me to contact for tools etc let me know19:17
delinquentmekanzure,  ^19:17
fennthen the rod is hardened, unlike aluminum extrusion19:17
nmz787cool19:17
kanzurewe're looking for 1 micron resolution19:17
charlieschwabachi would think this is more precise than that would be?19:17
kanzurenmz787: i don't know what you just asked19:17
fenncharlieschwabach: why would it be more precise? extrusion is extrusion19:18
nmz787kanzure: i just typed your name, how do i make that faster?19:18
fennk<tab>19:18
charlieschwabachyeah but if you just put a rod in the groove of an extrusion, it's still extrusion19:18
nmz787fenn: i'm in pidgin19:19
kanzureshould still work in pidgin19:19
nmz787ooo19:19
nmz787then just copy-paste?19:19
kanzureer you should be able to type k<tab> and get the name each time19:19
fennno need to copy paste, tab completion should work19:19
kanzuremaybe tab completion doesn't work in pidgin?19:20

delinquentmei mean im messing w threads19:25
delinquentmeso im gonna be like 1 hr19:25
fennis there some way to get a diff between revisions of piratepad?19:25
fennotherwise merging is going to be a pain19:26
fennalso why can't these online collaboration tools just use version control, wtf seriously wtf19:26
kanzurewhat? i thought that's what piratepad did.. they do per-keystroke versioning?19:26
fennyes, but no way to export the version control anyway19:26
kanzureat least you can dump the final diff19:27
fenni can save two text files and diff them, if that's what you mean19:27
nmz787why save the diff?19:28
nmz787if you just had a mediawiki installation.....19:28
nmz787.......19:28
kanzuredo you want mediawiki?19:29
fennmediawiki only works for editing simple text and pictures19:29
kanzurefenn: hush19:29
fennwhat can i say, i'm a command line zealot19:29
nmz787right19:30
nmz787we're doing a shopping list19:30
nmz787mediawiki would be preferred i think19:31
nmz787(by me)19:31
kanzureactually, google docs (spreadsheets) would be better?19:31
kanzurea shopping list is just a table19:31
fenni'm designing this in my head and making notes19:31
fennideally we'd have a cad program that didnt suck19:31

nmz787fenn: why 6 trucks?19:35
nmz787wouldn't we need 4 per axis?19:35
fennkinematic design19:38
fenn4 would overconstrain19:38
nmz787?19:39
fenni should note that in the design section19:39
nmz787so it will be 2 on one rail, 1 on the other19:39
fennright19:39
nmz787it won't tip weirdly?19:40
nmz787like how trike ATVs are bad at turns?19:40
fennit will be better supported on one side19:40
nmz787so by overconstrained you mean if the rods werent parallel perfectly, shit would cramp up and not move?19:41
delinquentmekanzure, can you run this: https://gist.github.com/232463219:41

ParahSailin_kinda21:21

diginetmaybe I should try algae or somethinhg21:22
yashgarothanything euks with liquid media tend to need it21:22

diginetis there any health hazard?21:22
ParahSailin_aseptic technique might be manageable without hood21:22
yashgarothhazard to you, from insect cells?21:22
ParahSailin_no21:23
diginetyeah? (I know that's probably a silly question)21:23
yashgarothnaaah21:23
diginetah okay, Id idn't think so21:23
ParahSailin_from the baculovirus i wouldnt think so either21:23
diginetapart from the equipment I would need, are they finnicky to work with?21:23
ParahSailin_never worked with them21:23
diginetah21:23
ParahSailin_but theyve gotta be easier than human cells21:24
diginetheh21:24
yashgarotheasier than non-cancer cells maybe21:24
diginetwell, I've read in a few papers that insect cell lines worked really rell with spider silk genes21:24
diginet*well21:24
yashgarothparahsailin are your sf9's adherent or suspension?21:25
ParahSailin_i dunno the growth habit, id have to find that out from the grad student when i get the cells21:27
ParahSailin_most of that is just medium and adaptation21:27
yashgarothtrue21:27
diginethow does one control, if possible, secretion of the protein? Is there anyway to ensure that it will be or not?21:28
ParahSailin_is anyone else interested in getting some sf9 cells?21:28
yashgarothgenerally a secreted protein will have an n-terminal peptide tag that directs it to secretion before getting cleaved off21:29
ParahSailin_actually.. its sf21 cells that i can get21:29
ParahSailin_the spidroin is gonna have a secretion signal peptide on it21:29
diginetParahSailin_, again, thank you so much for doing this21:29
diginethow do you store them? do I need LN2?21:30
ParahSailin_insect cells might work in -7021:30
diginet(if so I could potentially get it, I don't think its too expensive, and I think I know someone with a dewar)21:30
ParahSailin_if you can find a dewar that would be awesome21:30
diginetbut in other words, not a freezer :P21:30
nmz787are these sf lines immortal, from what creature originally?21:32
ParahSailin_spodoptera or something21:32
ParahSailin_from some sort of caterpillar21:32
nmz787ahh21:32
nmz787ok21:32
yashgarothdeveloped from ovaries of the Fall Army worm, Spodoptera frugiperda, a moth species21:32
yashgarothand I would certainly hope they're immortalized21:33
nmz787and you guys want to, what, give yourselves tatoos with them or what21:33
nmz787?21:33
nmz787:D21:33
yashgarothhe wants to do recombinant spidersilk protein production21:33
diginetone thing that has frustrated me is that I haven't been able to find any specific data on the composition of the dope21:34
yashgarothyou mean the cell culture media? that shit's hella proprietary21:34
diginetparticularly, I've seen no information on how many parts MaSp1 to MaSp221:35
diginetno, the silk dope21:35
diginetthe culture medium though, ugh, that's going to be my achilles heel, I can theoretically grow the cells indefinitely, but I can't get the growth medium except through a few sources21:36
