It may be better for part requests to be sent out as purified DNA instead of bacterial stabs as was done this year. Bacterial stabs may cause some issues when going through customs in certain countries (Japan, for example).

■　Safety

  • Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?
    • If yes, what does your local biosafety group think about your project?
     Yes, our university has a biosafety committee which requires students and faculty alike to take a biosafety course as well as submit an application before engaging in any research activity involving genetically-modified organisms. In general, as we stuck to the 'safe' organisms of E. coli and S. cerevisiae, the committee did not show any objection to our project.
  • Do you have any other ideas how to deal with safety issues that could be useful for future iGEM competitions? How could parts, devices and systems be made even safer through biosafety engineering?
    It may be better for part requests to be sent out as purified DNA instead of bacterial stabs as was done this year. Bacterial stabs may cause some issues when going through customs in certain countries (Japan, for example).
