The amplified genetic material is cleaned and stored in the freezer for later experiments. |

|
Thomas usually has his lunch at the "mensa" with friends from the lab. |

 |
|
Thomas selects a glass tube with flies from an earlier injection experiment in the culture room. |
|
| 14:05 |
 |
|
As the injected DNA contains an additional gene affecting eye color, he can see whether his attempt to generate transgenic lines successful. |

A friend tells Thomas about an interesting conference coming up in summer. |

The yeasts in these dishes are used to determine interactions between proteins. They are stored in the 4°C cold-room. |
|
| 16:50 |
 |
|
For the interaction experiment yeast colonies are copied to indicator dishes using a sterile velvet stamp. The yeasts are then incubated to grow at their preferred temperature of 30°C. |

 |
|
The experimental work is done for the day. |
|

 |
|
After spending some time scanning the international literature for new developments in his research area and planning the experiments for the coming day, Thomas is finally on his way home. |
