Lab Task List

This file tracks all ongoing lab and dev tasks. Issues created via GitHub and the Lab Agent are appended automatically below.

TASKS

Note: This file is now automatically updated by the agent/task-runner. Tasks are marked done when experiments are completed, and new tasks may be added as needed.

Lab Tasks

  • Day 1 (May 8, 2025): Set up 3T3 cells
    • Seed 3T3 cells in six 10 cm dishes
    • Prepare stock solutions for adipogenic induction
  • Day 2 (May 9, 2025): Begin adipogenic treatment
    • Prepare fresh adipogenic induction medium
    • Treat cells with control or adipogenic medium
  • Day 3 (May 10, 2025): Harvest and process cells
    • Collect cell lysates from all conditions
    • Measure protein concentrations
    • Set up antibody incubation for co-immunoprecipitation
  • Day 4 (May 11, 2025): Complete Co-IP and Western blotting
    • Process IP samples with protein A/G beads
    • Run SDS-PAGE gels and transfer to membranes
    • Blot for protein interactions
    • Image and quantify results
  • Analyze protein interaction data and prepare figures

Materials and Resources

  • Confirm Actinomycin D stock availability
  • Ensure sufficient RNA extraction reagents are available
  • Check qPCR primer stocks for all target genes
  • Order YBX1 and C/EBPα antibodies for Co-IP
  • Verify Invitrogen gel and transfer system availability

Development Tasks

  • Reorganize repository structure: convert "projects" to "aims" and "subprojects" to "projects" for better GitHub integration
  • Improve GitHub issue integration with short hash identifiers for future-proofing
  • Update documentation to reflect new naming conventions
  • Evaluate need for TASKS.md file in the new structure (consider GitHub issues as primary task tracker)
