='''Petroleum, an Unfortunate Necessity'''=<br />
[[Image:Washington2011_PetroUsage.png|border|450px|right|thumb|Petroleum may be a necessity for modern civilization, but current extraction methods are unsustainable and non-cyclical in the long run.]]<br />
<br />
Modern society is completely dependent on petroleum based fuels. Automobiles are slowly transitioning towards electric power. However, for the foreseeable future, batteries will not be able to hold the energy needed for applications that require long range (e.g. jet planes, maritime shipping, and long range trucking) or high horsepower (e.g. agriculture, construction, industry). Without the use of petroleum, society as we know it would crumble. Petroleum is not a viable long term fuel because it a non-renewable resource. When petroleum based fuels are combusted, CO<sub>2</sub> is released into the atmosphere. Using current technology, it is impossible to turn this carbon dioxide back into fuel, meaning that the amount of petroleum based fuel is a finite commodity. In addition, this excess carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.<br />

='''Todays biofuels are ''renewable'', but do not work as "drop-in" replacements'''=<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Washington2011_BiofuelsAreRenewable.png|right|450px|frameless|thumb|Since carbon in biofuels can be derived from photosynthesis, biofuels are renewable. However, current biofuels have clear and problematic limits concerning energy production.]]<br />
<br />
Many different attempts have been made to produce a renewable, biologically derived fuel that would alleviate both the limited supply and emissions issues presented by petroleum based fuels. These efforts include alcohols (ethanol, butanol and other, higher alcohols), and biodiesel. Like petroleum based fuels, biofuels consist of combustible molecules that emit carbon dioxide. However, unlike petroleum based fuels, biofuels are renewable. CO<sub>2</sub> can be converted into more biofuel by feeding biofuel producing microbes (bacteria, yeast) photosynthetically derived plant biomass. Since the amount of CO<sub>2</sub> produced by burning a biofuel cannot exceed the CO<sub>2</sub> incorporated into plant biomass, a biofuel can be used indefinitely without any net carbon emissions.<br />
However, current biofuels consist of drastically different compounds from those found in petroleum. Petroleum consists of mostly long-chain length alkanes consisting of long hydrocarbon chains. Current biofuels contain either alcohols or long chain esters (biodiesel). Both of these molecules contain oxygen, which dramatically changes chemical properties. Both alcohols and biodiesel are more corrosive than unreactive alkanes. Alcohols are highly corrosive, both in pipelines ( [[#References | [1]]] ), and in engines not designed for the use of alcohols, even at concentrations as low as 20%( [[#References | [2]]] ). The corrosive property of alcohols in pipelines means that ethanol (the main alcohol in widespread use) is transported in vehicles (mostly by train), as opposed to by cheaper and less energy intensive pipelines( [[#References | [1]]] ). Transport of alcohols by pipeline would require retrofitting the entire fuel distribution infrastructure. The Fatty Acid Methyl Esters(FAMEs) in biodiesel are not directly as corrosive as alcohols, but can be biodegraded by anaerobic bacteria, producing hydrogen sulfide and other acids( [[#References | [3]]] ). Biodiesel has a higher freezing point than diesel, causing engine fuel filter clogging at low temperatures( [[#References | [4]]] ). Ethanol suffers from a much lower energy density than diesel(21.27-23.56 MJ/L vs 32.36-34.66 MJ/L)( [[#References | [5]]] ), resulting in lower gas mileage. The table below shows selected chemical properties of diesel, as well as the common biofuels ethanol, butanol, and biodiesel( data from [[#References | [5,6,9-12]]]). <br />

='''The Ideal Fuel is Microbially-Produced Diesel'''=<br />
<br />
[[Image:Washington2011_PetroBiofuel.png|frameless|left|400px]]<br />
:::::::::::::::::<p>The ideal fuel would be compatible with modern engines and infrastructure, and also be able to be produced in a renewable manner. No current biofuel has properties identical enough to that of diesel to be able to fully integrate with current engines and infrastructure. No known alternative fuel is able to match the chemical properties of diesel. Currently, the only way to renewably produce a fuel with the chemical properties and compatibility of diesel would be to make a biofuel with a composition identical to that of diesel. This would require a biological pathway that is able to produce alkanes, the main class of compounds in diesel. Alkanes are simple chains of carbon and hydrogen. The majority of the alkanes found in diesel have a carbon chain of 10 to 20 carbons long. Alkanes make up approximately 62% of jet diesel (a fairly representative diesel fuel)([[#References | [7]]]). This 62% includes 34% straight chain alkanes that contain only one linear chain, and 28% branched chain alkanes that contain 1 or more carbon branches. The remaining 38% consists mostly of cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons. If long (10+) chain length alkanes could be biologically produced, it would allow for the production of a fuel that is both renewable and fully compatible with current engines and infrastructure.</p><br />

<br />
='''The Solution: a Microbial Alkane Production Pathway'''=<br />
[[Image:Washington2011_AlkaneAndBackCycle.png|right|400px|frameless]] AAR converts the fatty acid intermediate Acyl-ACP into an aldehyde, which is decarbonylated into an alkane by ADC. Acyl-ACPs are naturally produced by all organisms, which increases host choice considerably.<br />
A recent study([[#References | [8]]]),has shown the production of long chain length alkanes in ''E. coli'' using two genes found in many cyanobacteria species. The first gene codes for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K590032 Acyl-ACP Reductase] (AAR) which reduces long chain length acyl-ACPs into the corresponding fatty aldehydes. Acyl-ACPs are essential intermediates in fatty acid biosynthesis in every known organism, meaning that this system can work in a wide range of organisms. This long chain fatty acid acts as a substrate for [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K590031 Aldehyde Decarbonylase] (ADC), the enzyme that removes the carbonyl group (C=O) from the fatty aldehyde, yielding an alkane one carbon shorter than the original Acyl-ACP and a molecule of formate. Since the vast majority of the fatty acyl-ACPs produced by ''E. coli'' have an even chain length, this system produces detectable amounts of only odd chain length alkanes. This study reported production of the C13, C15, and C17 alkanes, as well as the C17 alkene (unsaturated hydrocarbon). This chain length range falls well within the range of those found in diesel, so this system is theoretically able to make the alkane portion of a fuel compatible with current engines and infrastructure.<br />

='''The PetroBrick: A modular and open platform for the biological production of diesel fuel'''=<br />
<br />
[[File:Washington PetroBrick.png|200px|frameless|border|left|link=http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K590025]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The goal of our "'''''Make It: Diesel Production'''''" portion of this summer's iGEM project is to convert this recently discovered set of enzymes ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K590032 AAR] and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K590031 ADC]) for microbial alkane production into an open and modular platform for iGEM teams to develop into a robust replacement for petrochemical fuels. Our alkane production system is specifically designed to be easily improved upon, and we have started work on improving this open system, both by increasing alkane yields and by changing the product produced. In addition, we have started to move this system into an alternative chassis, yeast.<br />

<p>The iGEMer’s prize is a chance for you, the participants, to have a say in which project you consider to be the ‘best’ at this year’s competition. It is organized by iGEMers, for iGEMers.</p><br />
<p>In order to make your decision as to which team you think has produced the ‘best project’, you will need to have a look at other teams’ wikis on the web. This can help you to decide what presentations and posters you might see at the jamboree to help you choose which team you would like to award this prize to. What is it that you liked about the project? What do you think is particularly important in producing an iGEM project, and how does the team you have chosen demonstrate this?</p><br />
<p>You will be given a voting ballot and instructions for how to vote <span style="font-weight:bold; color:#7fc73e;">in your team box</span> when you check in at Registration.<br />

<p>The iGEMer’s prize is a chance for you, the participants, to have a say in which project you consider to be the ‘best’ at this year’s competition. It is organized by iGEMers, for iGEMers.</p><br />
<p>In order to make your decision as to which team you think has produced the ‘best project’, you will need to have a look at other teams’ wikis on the web. This can help you to decide what presentations and posters you might see at the jamboree to help you choose which team you would like to award this prize to. What is it that you liked about the project? What do you think is particularly important in producing an iGEM project, and how does the team you have chosen demonstrate this?</p><br />
<p>You will be given a voting ballot and instructions for how to vote <span style="font-weight:bold; color:#7fc73e;">in your team box</span> when you check in at Registration.<br />

<p>In order to make your decision as to which team you think has produced the ‘best project’, you will need to have a look at other teams’ wikis on the web. This can help you to decide what presentations and posters you might see at the jamboree to help you choose which team you would like to award this prize to. What is it that you liked about the project? What do you think is particularly important in producing an iGEM project, and how does the team you have chosen demonstrate this?</p><br />
<p>You will be given a voting ballot and instructions for how to vote <span style="font-weight:bold; color:#7fc73e;">in your team box</span> when you check in at Registration.<br />

<p>The iGEMer’s prize is a chance for you, the participants, to have a say in which project you consider to be the ‘best’ at this year’s competition. It is organized by iGEMers, for iGEMers.</p><br />
<p>In order to make your decision as to which team you think has produced the ‘best project’, you will need to have a look at other teams’ wikis on the web. This can help you to decide what presentations and posters you might see at the jamboree to help you choose which team you would like to award this prize to. What is it that you liked about the project? What do you think is particularly important in producing an iGEM project, and how does the team you have chosen demonstrate this?</p><br />
<p>You will be given a voting ballot and instructions for how to vote <span style="font-weight:bold; color:#7fc73e;">in your team box</span> when you check in at Registration.<br />

Below are several arguments about the choice of this strain and reasons stopping previous iGem teams / supporting us in standing soundly on this step.<br />
<br />
<font size=4><font color=GREEN>'''(1) So Let's Talk About The iGem History'''</font></font><br />
<br />
Throughout the history of iGem, we have gained notice from exhaustive online searching that a remarkable number of previous iGem teams have continually proposed projects related to '''magnetosome''', '''magnetospirillum''', and '''magnetotaxis''' every year around the world.<br />
<br />
Among these respectful pioneers, Duke University had made their magnetotactic bacteria-based project to the official jamboree titled “Bacterial Dynamo”, focusing on the use of AMB-1 as AC voltage generator [[http://www.duke.edu/~fr7/2007_Reza_et_al_IET_Synthetic_Biology.pdf 2]], but somehow limited by the lack of genetic manipulation toolkits for ''Magentospirillum magneticum'' AMB-1.<br />
<br />
What’s worth mentioning was the diversity of ideas regarding the application of magnetotactic bacteria proposed by a great variety of iGem teams (See Table 1). This even led to one mentioning on 2009 iGem official website about “magnetic bacteria” as one of the [https://2009.igem.org/Ideas_for_Bacteria. Ideas for Bacteria].<br />
<br />
[[Image: Table_1.gif|thumb|center|700px|Table 1: Magneto-related iGem teams in the history.]]<br />
<br />
<font size=4><font color=green>'''(2) Obstacle 1: Hard to Cultivate'''</font></font><br />
Yes, we have heard your voice fellow iGemers. We knew from your previous/current brainstorming pages that the main reason for your giving in lies mostly in the '''''STRINGENT''''' growth conditions required to successfully cultivating these bacteria. It is a good reason, indeed.<br />
<br />
There are only a few magnetotactic strains capable of pure culture. Among them, ''Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum'' MS-1 [[http://jb.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/140/2/720 2]], ''Magnetospirillum gryphiswalden'' MSR-1 [[http://md1.csa.com/partners/viewrecord.php?requester=gs&collection=ENV&recid=3741674&q=The+isolation+of+a+new+magnetic+spirillum.&uid=791101605&setcookie=yes 3]], and ''Magnetospirillum magneticum'' AMB-1 [[http://www.springerlink.com/content/x942j5lw60j48865/ 4]] are used most frequently in research on magnetotactic bacteria. In recent years, significantly improved cultivating methods for MS-1 [[http://nopr.niscair.res.in/bitstream/123456789/8487/1/IJEB%2048(5)%20518-523.pdf 5]], MSR-1 [[http://www.microbialcellfactories.com/content/9/1/99 6]], and AMB-1 [[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=104444 7]] have also been achieved. These have lead to the field buzzing about the realization of applications spanning fMRI reporting, tumor targeting, etc., using magnetites produced by these cells [[http://www.nature.com/news/2004/040906/full/news040906-11.html 8], [http://ijr.sagepub.com/content/28/4/571.short 9], [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mrm.21606/pdf 10], [http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5627105 11]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
To be honest, we also encountered some problems in cultivating strain AMB-1, but finally a complete cultivating method has been established here. See '''[https://2011.igem.org/Team:NYMU-Taipei/chassis Chassis]''' for more details.<br />
<br />
<font size=4><font color=green>'''(3) Obstacle 2: Lack of Genetic Toolbox'''</font></font><br />
Sadly, for previous iGemers, there were way too many obstacles in front of their magnetic fantasies. This has lead to the fact that few precedents ever proceeded into thinking and encountering the '''BIG''' questions, that is, the lack of <font color=red>'''''ANY'''''</font> available genetic tools in Parts Registry!<br />
<br />
[[Image:tranformation of MG, MM, and AMB-1.gif|thumb|right|300px||'''Fig.1''' Transformation of MSR-1, AMB-1 and MS-1, plated on ACA medium [[http://www.springerlink.com/content/w5jvl853xhyrwdny/ 12]]]]<br />
<br />
To this date, provided with our utmost efforts in literature study, we've found, from previous research on magnetotactic bacteria, two strains are capable of <font color=blue>'''''undergoing transformation'''''</font>--'''MSR-1''' [[http://www.springerlink.com/content/w5jvl853xhyrwdny/ 12]], and '''AMB-1''' [[http://jb.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/174/9/2748 13]].<br />
<br />
<br />
For the genetic manipulating system on MSR-1, Dr. Dirk Schüler,'' et al.'' has developed a stable and efficient method by conjugation with ''Escherichia coli'' S17-1. Plasmids used in the system are derivatives of pBBR1MCS (broad-host-range vector[[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0378111995005841 14]]) <br />
<br />
<br />
In AMB-1, Dr. Long-Fei Wu used pBBR111, a pBBR1MCS derivative harboring strong, inducible promoter P<sub>tac</sub>, to construct an expression vector [[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022283610004900 15]], achieving transformation by conjugation between ''Escherchia coli'' WM3064 and AMB-1 (a method developed by Arash Komeili'', et al.'')[[http://www.pnas.org/content/101/11/3839 16]].<br />
<br />
<br />
Those great examples truly set lights on successfully establishing a new chassis for magnetism in Parts Registry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<font color=magenta>'''BUT WE AIM EVEN HIGHER!'''</font><br />
<br />
<br />
Works from Matsunaga's lab revealed that transformation of AMB-1 by <font color=blue>'''electroporation is feasible'''</font> [[http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/short/69/7/4274 17]]. They enable a door to faster expression platform, avoiding drawbacks with conjugation, such as but not limited to: time consumption, mob gene and oriT restriction, requirement of specific ''E. coli'' strain, etc...<br />
<br />
<br />
Furthermore, compared with the relatively adventurous adaptation of P<sub>tac</sub> as promoter for exogenous gene expression, endogenous promoters identified from genomic DNA of magnetotactic strains provide more reliable and efficient ways. Recently identified endogenous promoters from MSR-1 [[http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/75/12/4206 18]] still lack thorough verification. Yet another endogeneous promoters system in AMB-1 [[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006291X0502440X 19]] has been well characterized [[http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/76/4/1152 20], [http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/72/1/465 21], [http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/70/5/2880 22], [http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/74/11/3342 23], [http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/76/17/5785 24]]. See '''''[https://2011.igem.org/Team:NYMU-Taipei/chassis Chassis]''''' for elaborations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Equipped with these knowledge bases, we are now confident in saying that <font color=red>'''"the world is ready for a new chassis"'''</font>!<br />

[[Image:fantastic quartet.jpg|thumb|right|600px||'''Fig.2''' Fantastic quratet, four researches showing interconnected scientific fantasies that contextualizes our project.]]<br />
<br />
To us, they collectively mean that a whole story is currently divided into four parts, with different experts focusing on diverse issues, however laterally interconnected, or to say, interfaced, to weave a complete scientific fantasy.<br />
<br />
<font color=olive>'''Systems neuroscientists'''</font> tried to develop a <font color=olive>'''wireless'''</font> recording module which also equips itself with <font color=olive>'''multi-channel'''</font> characteristics.<br />
<br />
<font color=MediumVioletRed>'''Neurophysiologists'''</font> had the same dream on being <font color=MediumVioletRed>'''wireless'''</font>, but shifting from '''"recording"''' to '''"inducing (stimulating)"'''.<br />
<br />
<font color=maroon>'''Microbiologists'''</font> ran into discovering '''"gut feelings"''' with <font color=maroon>'''mind'''</font>-altering <font color=maroon>'''bacteria'''</font> living on mammalian intestinal lumen.<br />
<br />
Finally, <font color=Indigo>'''Cell Biologists'''</font> linked the whole story in a subtle manner, providing <font color=Indigo>'''optogenetic'''</font> systems on manipulating <font color=Indigo>'''cell signalling'''</font>.<br />
<br />
They interface with each other on concepts of being '''wireless''', '''stimulative''', '''bacterial''', and '''light-associated'''. However, they provided '''no direct link''' between bacteria and optogenetics. This leaves space for us to fit in the last of the five missing puzzles.<br />
<br />
From this point on, an <font size=4><font color=navy>"'''optogenetics'''-facilitated '''neurostimulting''' system using '''wireless'''-controlled '''bacterial''' species as light source"</font></font> will make the whole story complete.<br />

=Intellectual Property and Open Source Technology=<br />
<br />
We have explored the <b>[[#The History of IP and Open Source in Zinc Finger Technology|history]]</b> and associated intellectual property (IP) issues that have surrounded zinc finger technology. <br />
<br />
Because teams are trying to solve real-world problems, the vast majority of iGEM projects intersect with the IP landscape. Aside from its immediate relevance to our project, we argue that the story of zinc finger discovery, development, and commercialization presents a useful and enlightening <b>[[#No_.22Finger.22_Pointing|case study]]</b> of how IP affects the synthetic biology community. <br />
<br />
Additionally, we wrote and sent a '''[https://2011.igem.org/Team:Harvard/Human_Practices/Letter letter]''' to multiple representatives regarding the conflict between IP and open source technology.<br />

==The History of IP and Open Source in Zinc Finger Technology==<br />
Discovered in 1985, zinc finger proteins have rapidly become a staple of gene therapy innovation. A cascade of research has transformed our understanding of the zinc finger domain from a natural transcription factor to a tool for highly specific genome alteration. As the zinc finger motif was domesticated and fused to DNA cleaving domains, its practical application through targeted gene alteration rose to the forefront of gene therapy research.<br />
<br />
Seeking to harness zinc finger potential, researchers and entrepreneurs collaborated to form Sangamo Biosciences in 1995, which emerged as the sole commercial provider of the protein. Today, the Sangamo monopoly raises a variety difficult ethical and economic questions about intellectual property within the zinc finger field, and synthetic biology as a whole. As an open-source alternative to Sangamo’s proprietary system and commercial dominance, Keith Joung and others have published the OPEN system[[#References|[5]]] of zinc finger creation. However, while the OPEN system and subsequent improvements are promising for massive zinc finger production, the methods are difficult and time-consuming to implement, and gaps remain in the list of available DNA binding targets.<br />

==Harvard iGEM and Human Practices==<br />
===Where does our project stand in this complex and contentious history?===<br />
<br />
The objective of our project was to provide an open-source, "reduced-to-practice" method for zinc finger production through the novel application and integration of technologies. This method allows for the rapid creation of custom zinc fingers in a high-volume fashion for targeting novel binding sequences. This, in turn, has enabled us to fill gaps of undiscovered zinc finger binders in the OPEN and CoDA[[#References|[4]]] database and other open-source zinc finger databases. Most importantly, our open-source [https://2011.igem.org/Team:Harvard/Results/Biobricks BioBrick materials], [https://2011.igem.org/Team:Harvard/Protocols detailed protocols], and [https://2011.igem.org/Team:Harvard/Results/Tools software tools] greatly increase the accessibility of zinc finger technology and help to overcome the prohibitively high price tags of the present market. <br />
<br />
We aim to increase the accessibility of our method, which can in turn be applied by others to the generation of novel biological interactions beyond zinc fingers. We wish to share our data and results with the community, highlighting our successes and failures to collectively advance our knowledge of designing novel biological interactions. In addition, we seek to openly address pertinent ethical and legal concerns surrounding the impact of intellectual property in synthetic biology, and to open a dialogue to raise awareness about these issues.<br />

==A Case Study in Intellectual Property and Open Source Alternatives==<br />
<br />
'''The Harvard iGEM team aims to open discussion and raise awareness of the future impacts of intellectual property rights on synthetic biology research. We seek to provide an objective view of the existing relationships between intellectual property and open-source content. Our concern is particularly for the necessity of balance in intellectual property rights and the promotion of open-source technology for optimal benefit to all.'''<br />
</div><br />
<br />
===iGEM & IP===<br />
The questions raised by this case study are of particular importance for synthetic biology, which has historically placed great emphasis on an open-source nature. iGEM in particular has placed great value on this history. The Registry of Standard Biological parts and the concept of BioBricks are fundamental examples: characterized, standardized parts are available to on the [http://partsregistry.org registry website] to anyone with Internet access. In fact, IP questions are relevant for many of the technologies developed and used in the competition.<br />
<br />
===Playing Monopoly===<br />
Zinc finger intellectual property is held predominantly by a single commercial research institution, unlike many other areas of research where intellectual property is distributed across a wide variety of interested parties. This institution, [http://www.sangamo.com/index.html Sangamo Biosciences Inc.], is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company which focuses on zinc finger production for clinical applications. Sangamo has acquired most of the patent rights for the exclusive production and use of zinc finger proteins as DNA-modifying molecules. The result is an imbalance in the legal rights to research zinc fingers and their related medical applications which has notable consequences.<br />
<html><br />
<div id="ip_quote">"Scientists who purchase zinc fingers... must sign a license that imposes certain restrictions. To prevent scientists from selling or even sharing ZFNs, there’s a limit to how many animals can be produced [that express the zinc finger nuclease]. Nor can a scientist share anything made using the zinc fingers outside her organization."</div></html><br />

===Implications of Monopoly===<br />
====Opposition====<br />
First, researchers outside of Sangamo may be less motivated to research zinc finger technology because there is less of a foreseeable reward with patent rights blocking any prospect of earning a profit from patenting new technology. Even if there is no profit motive involved, it is impossible to do open source research using purchased zinc fingers, as licensing and high costs inhibit effective research. [[#References|[3]]] The cost of purchasing a single zinc finger protein from Sigma® Life Science (licencing partner with Sangamo) is prohibitively high - up to $15,000 for a single functioning zinc finger nuclease, which only work as pairs [[#References|[3]]] - limiting the possibilities for significant outside research.<br />
<br />
====In Favor====<br />
Second, Sangamo is able to monopolize the zinc finger market and intellectual capital: this means that they become a powerful, specialized research institution with the ability to potentially achieve progress at a faster pace than multiple individual institutions. Specialization naturally allows Sangamo to make progress more efficiently than individual researchers. Centralization also brings specialized researchers together under one roof for effective collaboration without having to cross communication barriers that exist between multiple isolated institutions.<br />
<br />
====Forward====<br />
These two effects act in opposite directions from the perspective of making intellectual progress for humanity. Thus we arrive at the central question: Does the Sangamo zinc finger monopoly augment the positive effects of research benefits for humanity and profit for individual researchers? Is the Sangamo research monopoly more beneficial to all involved parties?<br />
<br />
===In Favor of Opening the Field===<br />
====Imbalance of Research Benefits====<br />
The economic consequences of monopoly have been posed by some as a clear negative consequence of the Sangamo phenomenon. In a single-actor monopoly, standard economic theory predicts that the rational market actor will sell at the profit-maximizing price. This price, however, does not necessarily maximize social benefit especially since monopolistic trade results in deadweight loss [[#References|[1]]]. In other words, this means that the collective world production of societal benefits - such as medical treatments - potentially decreases in order to maximize profit for Sangamo.<br />
<br />
====Technology Vacuum====<br />
Lack of transparency in the field inhibits outside research while promoting Sangamo’s internal research. Technology that otherwise would have been available for use by many researchers is concealed behind Sangamo's large patent portfolio. Therefore, Sangamo passively impedes outside research by removing the opportunities for advancement and dissemination of protocols. <br />
<br />
====Risk of Centralization and Failure====<br />
Another problem with the monopolistic model arises when the company fails: when it fails to make scientific progress, and the whole field suffers. Recently, Sangamo Biosciences’ lead drug candidate has flunked its biggest test yet in clinical trials, and the company said this morning [October 3 2011] that it’s time to move on to other programs.[Sangamo] said today that SB-509 failed in a study of 170 patients that randomly assigned patients with diabetic neuropathy to a new drug or a placebo." [[#References|[8]]] If concerns of IP violation discouraged other researchers from working on comparable zinc finger-based treatments for that disease, there is now nothing to show for years of work, and the disease remains untreatable from a gene therapy approach.<br />
[[File:HARVProtoMag Table.png| left| 350px |Making zinc fingers: monetary and time investments [[#References|[3]]].]]<br />
<br />
===Two Sides to Every Story: Benefits of IP===<br />
====Intellectual Property Security====<br />
However, others have argued that concentrating intellectual property in a single company has actually promoted innovation and progress in the field [[#References|[2]]]. Monetary incentive to conduct research is undoubtedly a key driving force for scientific progress. What scientist or institution would invest in research without at least a chance of returning profit? Lack of protection of intellectual property rights and thus profit would diminish the sense of security and equality that the U.S. patent system currently provides. In fact the U.S. patent system was first instated to encourage openness of knowledge. Sangamo's large patent share gives the impression that intellectual property rights block future research incentive. In fact without intellectual property rights zinc finger research (and Sangamo) may not even exist today. <br />
<br />
====Centralization Boosts Efficiency====<br />
By bringing leaders in the field together, Sangamo might allow zinc finger researchers to be more productive through close collaboration than they otherwise would have been working individually. Furthermore, specialization in zinc finger technology minimizes costs of production that individual researchers would otherwise face. From the perspective of consumers purchasing zinc fingers, valuable time and negotiation costs may be saved by working with one company rather than many.<br />
<br />
===Conclusion: Striking a Balance===<br />
The ultimate goal of both Sangamo and other researchers is to make progress in scientific innovation while gaining profit from intellectual property. Naturally both Sangamo and other science researchers will tend to maximize personal profit; however, we suggest that the optimal scenario would maximize both scientific progress and the collective profit gained by each research actor.<br />
<br />
===The Harvard iGEM Proposition===<br />
An optimal resolution can be achieved only by a proper balance between intellectual property right regulation and open source technology; therefore we propose that there be an investigation into the current status of the zinc finger intellectual market with respect to the social and private profit-maximizing values. Currently the market lies heavily in favor of maximizing the private profits for Sangamo and the chance that this is the overall profit-maximizing equilibrium is therefore lessened. Only by properly informing the scientific community of the implications of imbalance between intellectual property rights and open source technology can we hope to achieve the most efficient research conditions for the future of synthetic biology research. <br />
<br />
One way to do this would be to follow the model of the European Union. In most European countries, patent laws "include a 'research exception' which permits use of a patented invention for experimental purposes without infringing the rights of the holder. Additionally, there are further exceptions such as those in respect of private and non-commercial use." [[#References|[7]]] In the United Kingdom, specifically, "those acts which do not constitute an infringement are set out in Section 60(5) of the Patents Act 1977."[[#References|[7]]] How can the United States remain competitive in the long-term with countries who allow for academic research without fear of infringement - and have done so for the past 30 years? <br />
<br />
A research exception could provide the needed balance between IP and research: companies could maintain their profitability, while scientists could use the best methods and ideas in their academic research, without fear of litigation. <br />

'''This was an old idea considered in week 1.'''<br />
<br />
Networking bacteria, people and other stuff with <u>BioTweets</U><br />
<br />
== Intro ==<br />
<br />
First of all, IANAB – I am not a biologist. Now...<br />
<br />
Biological computation is quite popular with iGEM, and some teams in the past have looked at it, so some BioBricks already exist for this purpose. But why bother at all? Well, in theory, if we can make calculations of some sort within a cell / using a group of cells, then these can be replicated easily and computational power can grow exponentially. This in turn can lead to solving 'NP-complete problems' – a group of problems which take exponential time to solve, and are of fundamental meaning to information theory.<br />
<br />
== Networking Bacteria ==<br />
<br />
The idea is to make cells communicate with each other, as if in a circuit, and thus calculate a logical function – e.g. NAND (= NOT AND), i.e. the output is TRUE if and only if two inputs are FALSE. ''(NAND is special, because an arbitrary logical function can be 'dismantled' into a series of NANDs – see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAND_gate Wikipedia on NAND])''. That can be used, for example, in a sensor which needs to respond to a specific set of stimuli (say, stimulus A and B present, but not C; or A and C but not B, etc.)<br />
<br />
The input could be in various forms – e.g. light or a chemical (or temperature, probably not used in iGEM yet [http://www.nature.com/emboj/journal/v25/n11/full/7601128a.html paper on thermoswitches]). The output, well, other teams have used light or secreting chemicals, but my idea was to (if it is at all possible, IANAB) connect cells using some sort of nanotubes (NOT carbon nanotubes, but something like pili? IANAB!). This way, we can do direct cell-to-cell communication as opposed to cell-to-environment and environment-to-another cell. This lets us make another 'layer' of cells, which take input from the previous 'layer' and so on (whereas if the output is secreted into the environment, we have little control over which cells take it up). That would be an improvement on quorum sensing.<br />
<br />
So, in general, we could use: BRIDGE (last year's protocol), nanotubes (freaky experimental stuff!), or conjugation (which is well-documented and used for exchanging plasmids).<br />
<br />
# Cells may be engineered to communicate within one population or between two populations, even between species(!) and that sounds fancy.<br />
# Maybe it would be worth trying to design surface antibody that would bind to membrane protein causing binding of two cells. Membrane protein can be then either native to the species or not. The two inputs could regulate expression / localisation = membrane insertion / activity of antibody and antigen. Only if both were present you could link cells together.<br />
# It could be awesome to design antigen protein (maybe membrane kinase) to be turned on/off upon binding to antibody. It could then activate some intracellular processes with some easy to read output (GFP/luc expression, colour reaction)<br />
<br />
== Modelling ==<br />
<br />
This is the cool part, because here we could try to model something ''non-biological'' that actually exists and works (i.e. a logic device, which is a part of every computer) using biology.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Human Aspects - Networking People ==<br />
<br />
Here we can exploit the 'networking' aspect of the project – talk about sharing our knowledge with high schools, other teams (not to mention getting a Twitter account for the team :P - last year Stanford had Twitter as part of their human practices and it seemed to be very well received by judges) <br />
Also, as mentioned above, using bacteria to compute stuff has the potential to advance other fields, like Informatics. Also, this can be used in diagnosis.<br />

=<font color=”black”>Part:BBa_K542008 - Lumazine Synthase Microcompartment Device=<br />
<br />
<font color="black">Datasheet for <html><a href="http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K542008"><font color="blue">Part BBa_K542008</font></a></html> in <i>E. coli</i> strain DH5alpha. <br />
<br><br />
[[image:uoflECdatasheet.png|center|150px]] <br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
The intended purpose of the Lumazine Synthase microcompartment device is to specifically target proteins that have been tagged with a positively charged oligopeptide into the cavity formed by the microcompartment. Furthermore, multiple unique proteins may be targeted into the cavity (1) for the purposes of increasing the efficiency of a metabolic pathway, to name just one example. This test construct is designed to demonstrate that proteins with positively charged tags can be localized into the cavity of the microcompartment formed by the oligomerization of Lumazine Synthase monomers. <br />
<br><br><br />
The expression of Lumazine Synthase and the fluorescent proteins are independently regulated by two separate promoters. Lumazine Synthase is regulated by the pLacI promoter and the fluorescent proteins are regulated by the pBAD inverter. Since the two are independently controlled, Lumazine Synthase microcompartments may be formed in the presence or absence of the fluorescent proteins (ie. absence or presence of arabinose, respectively).<br />
<br><br><br />
Because the fluorescent proteins are tagged with a positively-charged poly-arginine tag and the Lumazine Synthase is mutated with a negative interior (BBa_K249002 and Lethbridge 2009 Modeling), enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP) and enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) should be targeted into the microcompartments. ECFP and EYFP are a well known FRET pair.<br />
===Construct===<br />
Part Number BBa_K542008<br />
<br><br><br />
The construct was made by assembling BBa_K542004 with BBa_K542005. <br />
[[image:uoflconstruct.png|center|600px]]<br />
<br><br><br />
<b>Figure 1.</b> BBa_K542008. This construct contains pLacI Regulated Lumazine Synthase and pBAD Inverse-Regulated Arg-tagged ECFP and EYFP.<br />
<br />
==Characterization==<br />
===Electron Microscopy===<br />
<i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells expressing BBa_K542008 and controls were viewed using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). <br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
<i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells containing BBa_K542008 as well as control cultures containing only plasmid pSB1C3 were grown overnight at 37°C. Approximately 400 mL of these cells were then resuspended in 5 mL SOC media, and induced with 5 mL or 10 mL of 1 M IPTG. Cells were again incubated at 37°C for approximately 4 hours. Cells were then spun down at 6000 x g for 2 min. <br />
<br><br><br />
Cells were resuspended in 500 mL gluteraldehyde/formaldehyde fixative and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The solution was then spun at 6000 x g for 2 min. <br />
<br><br><br />
The cell pellet was resuspended in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate buffer and incubated for 10 min. The solution was centrifuged for 2 min at 6000 x g. This step was repeated an additional 2 times. Cells were then resuspended in 1% osmium tetroxide fixative in 0.1 M CaC buffer and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The solution was centrifuged at 6000 x g for 2 min. Cells were then resuspended in MilliQ H2O. <br />
<br><br><br />
The cells were spun down at 10000 x g for 5 min, and resuspended in 4% BIO-RAD standard low melting temperature agarose at 60°C. A drop of this cell-agarose mixture was then added to slides in order to harden, and incubated in MilliQ H<sub>2</sub>O overnight. <br />
<br><br><br />
Agarose-cell mixtures were cut into cubes of approximately 1 mm x 1 mm x 1 mm. They were then incubated in increasing alcohol concentrations up to 100% anhydrous ethyl alcohol. The cubes were then incubated in decreasing concentrations of alcohol and increasing concentrations of resin, up to 100% resin. The cubes were left in 100% resin to harden overnight. <br />
<br><br />
The resin-embedded cubes of cells were thin-sectioned and placed on a carbon grid. They were stained with uranyl acetate and then positively stained with lead citrate and viewed under TEM. <br />

<br><br><br />
<b>Figure 3.</b> <i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells expressing BBa_K542008 as viewed under transmission electron microscope. <br />
==== Discussion and Conclusion====<br />
We found that while the controls had a fairly uniform interior, the lumazine expressing cells did not (Figure 2). In the lumazine cells there were homogenous areas of grey as well as darker spots, whereas the controls contained a more uniform interior. <br />
<br><br><br />
We hypothesized that the lumazine accumulated together, which caused the isolation of other cellular elements. If this is the case, the microcompartments should most likely be the homogenous areas of grey not seen in the controls, and can’t be distinguished by contrast staining because they are aggregated together. <br />
<br><br><br />
To see if this is the case we will look at cells expressing BBa_K542008 under the spectral confocal (fluorescence) microscope. We hypothesize that if the microcompartments are segregated from other cellular elements then the fluorescent proteins will also be segregated and therefore we should see areas within the cell with brighter fluorescence.<br />
===Fluorescence Microscopy===<br />
<i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells containing BBa_K542008 were viewed with fluorescence microscopy. This was done in order to determine if the distribution of fluorescent proteins within the cells was similar to the homogenous grey regions seen in the cells under TEM. <br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
<i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells containing the BBa_K542008 construct were grown overnight at 37°C. They were spun down at 10,000 rpm and then resuspended in 1X phosphate buffer saline (PBS). The solution was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm, decanted and resuspended in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) overnight. This solution was then centrifuged at 10000 rpm and cells were resuspended in glycerol. The glycerol-cell mixtures were then placed on slides, coverslipped and sealed. <br />
<br><br><br />
The slides were viewed with an Olympus FV1000 spectral confocal at 60X magnification. Pictures were taken using the ECFP and EYFP filters. <br />
====Results====<br />

<br><br />

<br />
====Conclusion====<br />
Figure 4 shows that the fluorescent proteins were expressed in the cells. It is also evident that the fluorescence was segmented in a way that looks similar to that found in the homogenous grey areas in the TEM micrographs of the cells.<br />
<br />
===Scanning Electron Microscopy===<br />
<br />
We attempted to view lumazine synthase microcompartments under scanning electron microscopy. However, because our microcompartments were in solution, the moisture remaining caused the electron beam to heat the sample. This destroyed the entire sample, including the carbon material it was placed on.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
===Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)===<br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
<i>Preparation of Cell Cultures and Controls</i><br><br />
A total of six 5ml cell cultures of Escherichia coli DH5α cells containing the BBa_K542008 construct were grown under different conditions overnight at 37°C. As controls parts BBa_K542006, BBa_K331031, BBa_K331033, BBa_K542001 were grown normally overnight at 37°C.<br><br />
<br />
<b>Table 1.</b> E.coli DH5α cells cultures grown in LB media and incubated overnight with shaking at 37°C. Samples #1-6 was grown up differently with specific treatments for the expression of certain parts within the BBa_K542008 construct. Samples #7-10 was grown as controls. <br><br />
[[image:UolFRETTable1.jpg|center|600px]]<br><br><br />
<br />
The following morning, six 50mL cultures were inoculated with 1mL of overnight culture grown to sample 6 (with nothing expressed), and four 50mL cultures were inoculated with samples 7-10. The 50mL cultures were allowed to grow with shaking at 37oC until they reached an OD600 of 0.6 (approximately 3 hours). Samples 1-3 and 6-10 were immediately pelleted by centrifugation (4oC, 5000xg, 20min) and placed on ice. Samples 4 and 5 were treated as described in table above. Pellets were weighed, and resuspended in 10mL/mg wet weight of the following buffer:<br />
*50mM TrisHCl (pH8.0)<br />
*250mM NaCl<br />
*5mM 2ME<br />
In order to evaluate expression levels, 1mL of cells was removed from each culture, and analysed using SDS-PAGE (12%).<br><br><br />
<br />
<i>Lysis of Cells and Clearing of Cell Lysate</i><br><br />
Resuspended cell cultures were incubated on ice, and subjected to 3x20 pulse sonication bursts, with 3 minute rests on ice.<br><br />
Lysate was cleared by centrifugation (4C, 30000xg, 1 hour). Cleared cell lysate was removed and retained for fluorescent analysis.<br><br><br />
<i>Scanning of Cell Lysate using a Spectrofluorometer</i><br><br />
Using a spectrofluorometer, 3 mL of cell lysate was used for each scan. Each scan was done at 5nm excitation and 5nm emission slits. For the analysis of the expression of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) within the micro compartment, each cell lysate was excited at 439nm and the emission spectra was read from 444nm to 650nm.<br />
<br />
====Results====<br />
<i>Expression levels of Lumazine Synthase and fluorescent proteins</i><br><br><br />
Load order for the 12% denaturing polyacrylamide gel is as follows:<br><br />
# Low Range Molecular Marker<br />
# K542008 – No Expression (Sample 6)<br />
# K542001 – Lumazine Synthase Control (Sample 8)<br />
# K331031 – YFP Control (Sample 9)<br />
# K331033 – CFP Control (Sample 10)<br />
# K542006 – Fluorescent Proteins (Both YFP and CFP) Control (Sample 7)<br />
# K542008 – Expression of fluorescent proteins only (Sample 1)<br />
# K542008 – Expression of Lumazine Synthase only (Sample 2)<br />
# K542008 – Co-expression of Lumazine Synthase and fluorescent proteins (Sample 3)<br />
# K542008 – Fluorescent proteins first, then Lumazine Synthase (Sample 4)<br />
# K542008 – Lumazine Synthase first, then fluorescent proteins (Sample 5)<br />
[[image:UolK542008ExpressionPatterns.jpg|center|400px]]<br />
<b>Figure 1.</b> Expression patterns of K542008 and controls<br><br><br />
In every K542008 sample, regardless of treatment, lumazine synthase (16.6kDa) is expressed. This means that we are unable to control production of lumazine synthase as we had hoped. By altering the promoter, we hope to be able to control the production of lumazine synthase in order to evaluate how the expression patterns of lumazine synthase and arginine tagged proteins affect efficiency of co-localization of tagged proteins within the compartment.<br><br><br />
The expression of the fluorescent proteins (each approximately 27kDa) can easily been seen in lanes 2 and 3. Although it is difficult to see fluorescent proteins in K542008 samples, fluorescence observed in FRET experiments suggests that protein is expressed.<br> <br><br><br />
<br />
<i>FRET</i><br><br><br />
By using sample 7 (fluorescent protein control; BBa_K542006) as the baseline for expression of fluorescent proteins in the cleared cell lysates, we evaluated samples 1-5 for FRET by comparing fluorescence at 475nm (CFP) and 528nm (YFP). <br><br />
[[image:UolK542008FRET.jpg|center|600px]]<br />
<b>Figure 2.</b> Relative change in fluorescence at 475nm and 528nm, when excited by light at 439nm. "LS then FP" is Sample 5; "FP Only" is Sample 1; "LS Only" is Sample 2; "FP then LS" is Sample 3; "LS then FP" is Sample 4.<br><br><br />

In each sample, we observed a decrease in fluorescence at 475nm and a simultaneous increase in fluorescence at 528nm. We believe that this decrease in CFP fluorescence (observed at 475nm) and concomitant increase in YFP fluorescence (observed at 528nm) is indicative of FRET interactions occurring between CFP and YFP. The presence of FRET interactions naturally leads us to the conclusion that the oligo-arginine-tagged CFP and YFP are being co-localized within the lumazine synthase microcompartment. <br><br />
Within the FRET results, the condition where lumazine synthase was expressed before the fluorescent proteins were expressed shows lower levels of fluorescent change than the other conditions, suggesting that fluorescent proteins have difficulty entering the completely formed microcompartments.<br />
<br />
====Conclusion====<br />
<br />
# Proteins that have an oligo-arginine tail fused to their C-termini are localized within the microcompartment formed by the oligomerization of lumazine synthase proteins<br />
# Proteins can localize within the compartment more easily when they are co-expressed with lumazine synthase<br />
:::Proteins have a more difficult time entering the compartment when the compartment is fully formed<br />
<br />
====Discussion====<br />
While we hoped to be able to control the expression of the fluorescent proteins and lumazine synthase temporally, our SDS-PAGE gel indicates that even in the absence of IPTG, the <i>lac</i>-inducible lumazine synthase is being expressed. This means we are not able to achieve one of our conditions – fluorescent proteins expressed first, then lumazine synthase. The constant expression of lumazine synthase gave us several measurements with co-expression of lumazine synthase and fluorescent proteins. Furthermore, co-expression approximates the condition we were attempting for our first condition – namely, the formation of microcompartments around tagged proteins. We were also able to measure the condition where lumazine synthase was expressed in the absence of fluorescent proteins, which were expressed after the production of the lumazine synthase microcompartments. We interpret the results to indicating that tagged proteins have more difficulty entering pre-formed lumazine synthase microcompartments.<br><br><br />

==Introduction==<br />
Lumazine synthase (LS) from <i>Aquifex aeolicus</i> forms icosahedral microcompartment (MC) assemblies of 60 or 180 monomeric units that self assemble and are capable of isolating proteins from their local environment. As shown in previously published work (1), the LS protein has been mutated so that the interior of the MC is negatively charged; the UL 2009 iGEM team has submitted the mutated LS gene to the parts registry (BBa_K249002). A negatively charged interior allows for preferential compartmentalization of positively charged molecules, which can easily be engineered through the addition of a poly-arginine tag to a target protein (1). The size of the cavity of the Lumazine Synthase microcompartment was enlarged and the negative charge was increased via directed evolution (2). The compartment formed by this polypeptide has a larger cavity and a larger net negative charge, thus allowing a larger loading capacity into the cavity of the compartment.<br />
<br><br><br />
The part was synthesized by Bio Basic Inc. into the pET28a plasmid vector (which allows for expression of ELS with an N-terminal His-tag). The Enhanced Lumazine Synthase (ELS) was moved into the pSB1C3 vector by the Lethbridge 2011 team.<br />
==Characterization==<br />
===Overexpression===<br />
The His-tagged ELS in pET28a was transformed into <i>E. coli</i> BL21 (DE3) and overexpressed. <br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
4 X 500 mL of LB media in 2 L flasks were inoculated with <i>E. coli</i> BL21 (DE3) cells expressing ELS. Cells were grown at 37°C with shaking until the culture reached an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.683. The cultures were then induced with 10 mM IPTG. Culture samples containing equal amounts of cells were taken before induction and 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours post induction for analysis by SDS-PAGE. At 5 hours post induction the cells were harvested by centrifugation at 5000 x g for 5 min. The cell lysate was resuspended in 42 mL of buffer containing 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 60 mM NH<sub>4</sub>CL, 7 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM PMSF, 7 mM MgCl<sub>2</sub>, 300 mM KCl, 10 mM imidazole, and 15% glycerol. Afterwards, 0.05 g of crystallized lysozyme was added to the cell suspension and incubated on ice for 1 hour. The lysate was then centrifuged for 70 minutes at 30000 x g to obtain the S30 fraction.<br />
====Results====<br />

Lane 1: zero hours; Lane 2: 1 hour; Lane 3: 2 hours; Lane 4: 3 hours. The expected molecular weight of enhanced lumazine synthase is 18.5 kD. <br />
====Conclusion====<br />
Figure 1 clearly displays an increase in expression of a protein smaller than 25.0 kD, which is approximately the expected size of enhanced lumazine synthase monomers (18.5 kD).<br />
===Protein Purification===<br />
Enhanced lumazine synthase microcompartments were purified using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine if the purified ELS formed a homogenous mixture of compartments, heterogenous mixture of microcompartments, or remained in monomer form.<br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
In order to obtain a sample of ELS that was near homogeneity for characterization with SEC, the ELS sample was first purified by immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). Ni<sup>2+</sup>-Sepharose beads supplied by Sigma Aldrich were pre-swelled in buffer containing 20% ethanol and 1mM NaCl. 3.75 mL of the Ni<sup>2+</sup>-Sepharose slurry was added to a 50 mL falcon tube. The beads were centrifuged at 500 x g for 2 min and the ethanol-containing buffer decanted. The beads were washed with 3 bed volumes of sterile water. The column was then washed in 6 bed volumes of Buffer A containing 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 60 mM NH<sub>4</sub>CL, 7 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM PMSF, 7 mM MgCl<sub>2</sub>, 300 mM KCl, 10 mM imidazole, and 15% glycerol. S30 cell extract was applied to the column and mixed gently. The resin-S30 extract suspension was incubated on ice for 1 hour. The mixture was centrifuged at 500 x g for 2 min and the supernatant decanted. The supernatant was kept for further analysis by SDS-PAGE. The resin was washed 3 times with a full falcon tube volume (50 mL) of Buffer A. The mixture was centrifuged at 500 x g for 2 min and the supernatant decanted. The supernatant was kept for further analysis by SDS-PAGE. The column was washed 4 times with a full falcon tube volume (50 mL) of Buffer B (Buffer A plus 20 mM imidazole). The mixture was centrifuged at 500 x g for 2 minutes and the supernatant decanted. The supernatant was kept for further analysis by SDS-PAGE. The protein was eluted 9 times using 90% bed volume of Buffer E (Buffer A plus 250 mM imidazole). After each wash the sample was kept for analysis by SDS-PAGE.<br />
<br><br><br />
Fractions 1 – 9 were pooled and concentrated using a Vivaspin Column with a 10 kDa molecular weight cut-off.<br />
<br><br><br />
Concentrated protein samples from the Ni<sup>2+</sup>-Sepharose column were applied to a Sephacryl S400 size exclusion chromatography column at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/minute. 150 mL of SEC Buffer (50 mM sodium phosphate, 5 mM EDTA, 200 mM NaCl, pH 8.0, with 20% glycerol) was pumped through the column. The fractions eluted were collected and the absorbance was measured at 280 nm (see Fig 3 and 4).<br />

====Conclusion====<br />
Figure 2 shows that with each wash proteins of a similar size were eluted off the resin. These proteins run at the expected molecular weight of enhanced lumazine synthase monomers (18.5 kD).<br />
<br><br><br />
The chromatogram (Figure 3) from the chromatography experiment displays two regions of increased absorbance at 280 nm, between 82 and 135 mL of buffer eluted. These fractions were pooled, concentrated, and analyzed using transmission electron microscopy.<br />
===Transmission Electron Microscopy===<br />
Purified samples of enhanced lumazine synthase from size exclusion chromatography (SEC) were characterized using transmission electron microscopy. We viewed samples of each of the two peaks from the SEC; however only one sample contained microcompartments. <br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
Purified Samples in solution were placed on a carbon grid and negatively stained using uranyl acetate. Carbon grids containing the samples were then viewed with a Hitachi H-7500 Transmission Electron Microscope. <br />

<b>Figure 5.</b> Transmission electron microscopy of Enhanced Lumazine Synthase microcompartments. Microcompartments of approximately 40 nm can be seen at x 100K magnification. <br />
====Conclusion====<br />
As expected, TEM micrographs show polyhedral particles of approximately 40 nm, corresponding to the size described by Wörsdörfer et al. (2011). This confirms that ''E. coli'' is capable of producing enhanced lumazine synthase.<br />

<br><br><br />
[[image:uoflag43datasheet.png|center|150px]] <br />
==Introduction==<br />
The Peking 2010 iGEM team characterized Antigen 43 (AG43) using a T7 promoter expression system in <i>E. coli</i> BL21(DE3) strain and submitted the coding sequence with no promoter or ribosome binding site (RBS) to the parts registry (BBa_K364007). In order for AG43 to be used, BBa_K542009 was assembled to include the required regulatory elements. The pLacI promoter and RBS were added to the coding sequence for AG43.<br />

==Sedimentation by Antigen 43==<br />
<i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells expressing BBa_K542009 were monitored for sedimentation and compared to sedimentation of uninduced cells.<br />
===Materials and Methods===<br />
Overnight cultures <i>E. coli</i> DH5α containing BBa_K542009 or BBa_J04500 (blank control) were grown with the appropriate antibiotics. Three 50 mL LB cultures – BBa_J04500 (control), BBa_K542009 (induced), and BBa_K542009 (uninduced) – with the appropriate antibiotics were inoculated to an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.1 and incubated at 37°C with shaking.<br />
<br><br><br />
At OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.4-0.6, the cultures were induced (excluding one of the BBa_K542009 cultures) with IPTG to a concentration of 0.001% and growth was monitored to a final OD<sub>600</sub> of 1. The cells were centrifuged at 5000 x g for 5 min and the supernatant discarded. The cells were resuspended with 5 mL of 1% PBS (with 0.15 mM NaCl) and transferred into test tubes. The cells in the test tubes were agitated and 100 µL was taken ~0.5 cm from the surface every 10 min for the first 60 min; then every hour for the next 3 hours and again at 18 hours and 18.5 hours. The samples were also subjected to OD<sub>590</sub> measurements using a microplate and the SoftMax Pro Software.<br />

<b>Figure 3.</b> Microplate readings at 590nm for samples taken from the sedimentation assay using SoftMax Pro Software. Increase in absorbance at 150 min may have been due to the aggregation of the cells on the microplate prior to taking the measurement. <br />
===Conclusion===<br />
There is a significant difference between the aggregation of cells with the Antigen43 construct (BBa_K542009) and the cells without the construct after 18 hours. The pLacI promoter is known to be leaky. This was illustrated by the similarity between the uninduced and induced samples (Figures 2 and 3). These experiments support the conclusion that BBa_K542009 works as expected and the induced cells exhibit sedimentation.<br />

[[image:uoflBamHIdatasheet.png|100px|center]] <br />
==Introduction==<br />
Part I716462 was previously characterized by the UC Berkeley iGEM team in 2007. The purpose of this part was to prevent unwanted cell proliferation by engineering a genetic self-destruct mechanism into bacteria that upon induction would express a genetic material-degrading toxin, the endonuclease BamHI that would kill cells yet preserve their physical integrity. <i>Bam</i>HI has a restriction cut site of G'GATCC, generating sticky ends (1). The restriction endonuclease was placed under the control of the arabinose- inducible promoter, pBAD. In 2007, the UC Berkeley iGEM team was able to show that cells lost their ability to reproduce but did not lyse upon induction with arabinose (2). The University of Lethbridge 2011 iGEM team wished to further characterize this part to degrade the genomic DNA of E. coli in order to have a functional chassis for our tailings pond clean-up kit without the risk of DNA contamination. In this way, tight control and regulation over our engineered bacterial cells is possible.<br />

===Cell Survival===<br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
The <i>Bam</i>HI construct was overexpressed in <i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells. Cultures were induced with arabinose at an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.6 and grown overnight. Samples of the induced culture and an uninduced culture were plated on LB agar plates to monitor growth of colony forming units.<br />

===Analysis of Genomic DNA===<br />
====Materials and Methods====<br />
<i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells were grown and induced to overexpress one of three samples: <i>Bam</i>HI construct induced with arabinose (10µM) at an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.6, <i>Bam</i>HI construct uninduced, non-<i>Bam</i>HI construct induced with arabinose (10µM) at OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.6. Cells were grown in LB media with 100 ng/mL ampicillin.<br />
<br><br><br />
Qiagen Blood and Tissue Kit was used to isolate the genomic DNA of gram-negative bacteria. A 0.8% agarose gel was ran at 150 V for 90 minutes to separate the genomic DNA of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells collected at different time points (pre-induced and 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, and 3 hr post induction) for all three samples. One absorbance unit of cells were collected and analyzed by SDS-PAGE to monitor cellular protein levels.<br />

<br><br><br />
==Conclusion==<br />
Upon induction with arabinose, <i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells containing the <i>Bam</i>HI construct did not reproduce as the overexpression of the <i>Bam</i>HI endonuclease digested the genomic DNA of the host cell. This is why in Figure 2 there are only 4 colonies seen as opposed to the control which shows a lawn of growth. In Figure 1, the optical density of the <i>Bam</i>HI expressing cells reaches a plateau; however, the same sample which has not been induced kept increasing, which indicates that the expression of <i>Bam</i>HI is affecting normal growth of the cells.<br />
<br><br><br />
Samples analyzed by SDS-PAGE after induction of <i>Bam</i>HI expression show that protein concentration is not significantly affected (Figures 3-5).<br />

=Collaboration - Cell Viability in Tailings Pond Water=<br />
We were asked by the Calgary iGEM team to to test the viability of their chassis to survive in tailings pond water. If <i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells containing one of their constructs can grow normally in medium prepared with tailings water, we can be confident that the chassis can be applied to tailings pond water in general.<br />
==Materials and Methods==<br />
50 mL of LB medium was made with tailings water and filtered through MILLEX filter Unit GS MF-Millipore MCE Membrane 0.22 µm in order to sterilize it and appropriate antibiotics were added. The tailings LB was inoculated with <i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells containing BBa_K331009 to an OD<sub>600</sub> of 0.1. The flask was incubated at 37˚C with shaking for 7 hours, during which photometric readings were taken every 30. Photometric readings were taken using the Pharmacia Biotech Ultrospec 3000, as the OD<sub>600</sub> readings reached 1.0 the solutions was diluted with LB media to keep the OD<sub>600</sub> reading between 0.1 and 1.0. The same protocol was used to observe cell growth of <i>E. coli</i> DH5α cells containing BBa_K331009 in 50 mL of LB medium made with MilliQ H<sub>2</sub>O.<br />

=<font color="black">Development of a Tailings Pond Clean up Kit=<br />
<br />
==<font color="black">Project Description==<br />
Managing byproducts of the extraction and refinement processes is a common problem in harvesting natural resources, such as oil. In most cases, tailings ponds are used for storing the toxic water byproducts, which not only have severe negative environmental impacts but also by using current methods can take decades before they can be reclaimed. The current remediation methods need to be improved to provide economical, effective and efficient processes to decrease the negative environmental impact of the tailings ponds. The tailings ponds contain toxic organic compounds, heavy metals and fine clay particles, all which require improved methods of treatment. We will produce a tailings pond clean up kit that uses environmentally safe methods to accelerate the decontamination of toxic organic molecules, heavy metals, and settle the fine clay particles at an increased rate. Toxic compounds will be degraded into metabolizable compounds at increased rates by using proteins that act within a common degradation pathway co-localized within a microcompartment in the form of an easily distributed dry powder. Removal of heavy metals, such as iron, from samples of tailings ponds water will be achieved by inducing the formation of iron nanoparticles, which can be removed together with the generated biomass. The rapid formation of fine clay sediments will be facilitated by the use of bacteria cell aggregates, increasing sedimentation rates from many decades to days or even hours. The kit will consist of either cell-free components or genetically modified organisms (GMO) that pose no threat to the environment as they will have been programmed with a method of rendering the cell inert and destroying its DNA once the desired action is completed. The methods within the tailings pond clean up kit will be applicable for large-scale treatment facilities as well as <i>in situ</i> tailings pond treatment.<br />
<br />
==Background and Rationale==<br />
Oil reserves are found in many corners of the globe and all nations must address the challenges of (I) extraction, (II) refinement, and (III) managing the byproducts of these processes. The byproducts are stored in the form of tailings ponds where the water contains (1) toxic organic compounds such as naphthenic acids and catechol, (2) heavy metals, and (3) fine clay sediment<sup>1</sup>. The tailings ponds raise critical environmental issues as the water cannot be reused and is harmful to organisms. Traditional methods used for tailings pond remediation can take decades to complete with the first reclaimed tailings pond only being completed in September 2010 after 40 years<sup>2</sup>. Our goal is to address the challenge of decreasing the time necessary for tailings ponds remediation by creating a tailings pond clean up (TPCU) kit that can be applied (A) directly to the ponds or (B) in a large-scale treatment facility.<br />
<br />
===Catechol as the entry point into <i>Escherichia coli</i> metabolism===<br />
To address the decontamination of (1) toxic organic compounds such as naphthene and catechol found in the tailings ponds, natural pathways that can break down the toxic chemicals can be utilized. The toxic organic compounds can be broken down into molecules that are metabolizable by all organisms, such as 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde (2-HMS)<sup>3</sup>. Catechol is a prime candidate to function as a hub for the funneling and subsequent degradation of other toxic compounds found in abundance, such as naphthene, anthracene, and fluorene into 2-HMS (Figure 1)<sup>3,4,5</sup>. Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (xylE) is found in <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> and hydrolyzes catechol into 2-HMS, which can enter the citric acid cycle<sup>6</sup>. In 2010, the Lethbridge iGEM team confirmed that xylE when introduce to <i>E. coli</i> hydrolyzes catechol to 2-HMS demonstrating and that this critical step can successfully be performed to convert toxic chemicals to metabolic intermediates<sup>7</sup>. XylE is inefficient on its own, especially <i>in vitro</i>, due to instability caused by oxygen sensitivity, and oxidation of the active site iron molecule during it’s functional cycle rendering the enzyme inactive<sup>8</sup>. It was demonstrated by the Lethbridge 2010 iGEM team that xylE only exhibits single turnover kinetics, and therefore, each protein molecule is capable of hydrolyzing only one molecule of catechol<sup>7</sup>. In natural systems, the <i>xylT</i> gene is located upstream of <i>xylE</i>. <i>XylT</i> codes for a ferredoxin protein (xylT) that stabilizes xylE by reducing the iron molecule back to its previous active state, allowing xylE to continue degrading catechol<sup>9</sup>. Creating a multiple turnover system would allow one protein to degrade multiple catechol molecules thereby increasing the efficiency of the system while increasing potential real-world applications. We have performed a computational metabolic flux analysis to determine possible bottlenecks and choke points in the feeding of 2-HMS into the citric acid cycle. The results indicated that the bottleneck in the pathway is not located in the citric acid cycle but in the breakdown of 2-HMS by the native <i>E. coli</i> enzyme xylF, indicating another step that can be used to optimize the catechol degradation system (Figure 1)<sup>10</sup>.<br />

<font color="black">Figure 1. Schematic of the tailings pond toxic organic molecule degradation pathways and their entry into <i>E. coli’s</i> natural metabolic pathways. Fluorene, anthracene and naphthalene can be degraded into catechol using a series of enzymatic steps (orange). Catechol can be degraded to 2-HMS by xylE, which can enter the citric acid cycle (green). Alternatively, catechol-1,2-dioxygenase can degrade catechol into cis,cis-muconate that can enter the citric acid cycle following a series of 5 enzymatic steps (red). The bottleneck as demonstrated by computational metabolic flux analysis is located in the three-step breakdown of 2-HMS to acetaldehyde and pyruvate and is the xylF enzyme. The blue box outlines the location we will optimize for catechol degradation, the entry point of toxic organic compound degradation into the cells’ natural metabolic pathways.

===Compartmentalization for optimization===<br />
Compartmentalization is a method that can serve to optimize systems and can be applied to the decontamination of toxins from the tailings ponds. Localizing proteins of a pathway together will decrease cross-talk with other systems and concentrate the proteins of interest in close proximity. Lumazine synthase (LS) from <i>Aquifex aeolicus</i> forms icosahedral microcompartment (MC) assemblies of 60 or 180 monomeric units that self assemble and are capable of isolating proteins from their local environment<sup>11</sup>. As shown in previously published work, the LS protein has been mutated so that the interior of the MC is negatively charged, and the Lethbridge 2009 iGEM team has submitted the mutated LS gene to the parts registry<sup>11</sup>. A negatively charged interior allows for preferential compartmentalization of positively charged molecules, which can easily be engineered through the addition of a poly-arginine tag to a target protein<sup>11</sup>. The poly-arginine C- and N-terminal tags have also been submitted to the registry by the Lethbridge 2009 iGEM team. Recent work on LS using directed evolution to optimize the interior surface of the MC created a new variant of LS that allows for the increased loading capacity of the MC<sup>12</sup>. It has been found that this LS variant can successfully encapsulate toxic compounds within <i>E. coli</i> cells without nonspecific association of contaminants or target molecules to the exterior of the MC<sup>12</sup>. This LS variant will be advantageous for selective compartmentalization of larger or multiple target proteins involved in catechol degradation. Compartmentalization will also allow for the introduction of pathways that may contain toxic intermediates to the chassis, while keeping them separate from the chassis’ other processes.<br />
<br />
===Removal of aqueous heavy metals===<br />
Decontamination of (2) heavy metals found in the tailings ponds can be performed by the Mms6 protein found in <i>Magnetospirillum magneticum</i> that produces nanoparticles<sup>13,14</sup>. Mms6 can facilitate the removal of iron from tailings ponds water through the formation of symmetric octahedral iron crystal nanoparticles<sup>15</sup>. The production of nanoparticles from soluble heavy metals will effectively remove the heavy metals from the tailings ponds with subsequent removal of the magnetic nanoparticles using simple methods such as a magnet<sup>13</sup>. Previous work done by the Lethbridge 2010 iGEM team on the Mms6 protein demonstrated that the expression of Mms6 induced low cell growth rates and low expression levels, indicating that the protein is toxic to the <i>E. coli</i> chassis<sup>16</sup>. A method to circumvent the toxic protein problem for the chassis is to have the protein secreted from the cell to prevent accumulation within the cell.<br />
<br />
===Accelerating clay particle sedimentation===<br />
Without intervention, the (3) fine clay sediment found in the tailings ponds can take decades to solidify, but with the application of molecules such as polysaccharides that are found on the surface of bacterial membranes, the clay particles can be aggregated<sup>17,18</sup>. Once the aggregates of cell and clay have been formed, sediments can be formed by using an antigen that promotes rapid bacterial aggregation<sup>19</sup>. The aggregates will then settle out, resulting in clearer water. The Peking 2010 iGEM team successfully characterized Antigen 43 (Ag43) that successfully formed sediments 20 minutes after induction<sup>20</sup>. The Ag43 was used to sediment the chassis after absorbing mercury from a solution.<br />
<br />
===Environmentally safe organisms===<br />
To prevent environmental contamination by any GMO’s DNA, measures must be taken. One method is by expressing an endonuclease within the chassis causing the genomic DNA to be degraded and therefore removing the risk of the GMO’s DNA being released into the environment. This method is especially appealing because the potential of horizontal gene transfer between other species present in the tailings ponds is eliminated, while still ensuring relevant enzymes will not be destroyed. The UC Berkley 2007 iGEM team successfully characterized an endonuclease that degraded the genomic DNA of <i>E. coli</i> when induced<sup>21</sup>. The ability to induce the endonuclease will allow for the fully-functional organism to carry out the mechanism for which it is designed, whether that be (1) degradation of organic molecules, (2) decontamination of heavy metals, or (3) sedimentation of clay particles, before the organism is rendered inert by the degradation of genomic DNA. <br />
<br />
==Objectives of Proposed Research==<br />
The overall goal of the project is to produce a prototype tailings ponds clean up kit (Figure 2). The tailings ponds clean up kit will decontaminate (1) toxic organic molecules, (2) heavy metals, (3) remove the clay sediment, and (4) prevent GMO’s DNA contamination of the environment. The kit will allow for an efficient and environmentally friendly method of tailings ponds remediation. The methods used will also be applicable for large-scale treatment facilities to treat the tailings water before it is deposited in ponds thereby decreasing their negative environmental impact. <br />
<br><br><br />
<b>(1) Our aim is to produce optimized enzymes found in nature that will decontaminate toxic organic molecules found in the tailings ponds.</b> In order to do so, we will further characterize and optimize the project started by the Lethbridge 2010 iGEM team that focused on converting toxins in the tailings ponds into compounds that cells can metabolize. To optimize the system, we will introduce additional enzymes that will improve the efficiency of degradation and increase the degradation capabilities of the current toxin-degrading enzyme, based on our metabolic flux analysis. Further optimization will be performed by isolating the new two-enzyme system in compartments that will prevent their interaction with other naturally occurring systems and allow for their isolation and application to the tailings ponds.<br />
<br><br><br />
<b>(2) Our aim is to use enzymes already present in nature for removing the heavy metals found in tailings ponds by for example, magnetic nanoparticle formation.</b> We will do this by working with the enzyme submitted by the Lethbridge 2009 iGEM team and optimizing its production conditions to allow for maximal removal of toxic heavy metals.<br />
<br><br><br />
<b>(3) Our aim is to rapidly form sediment composed of the fine clay particles found in the tailings ponds by using the natural properties of bacterial cells to form aggregates.</b> The engineered bacterial cell will have the properties required to attach to and form sediment with the fine clay particles found in the tailings ponds. This system will allow for rapid clay particle removal from the tailings ponds by increasing the rate of sedimentation of the clay particles by adding biomass and aggregations <i>in situ</i> or in a treatment facility.<br />
<br><br><br />
<b>(4) Our aim is to produce an environmentally safe tailings pond clean up kit by ensuring all components do not contain the GMO’s DNA, which could potentially have an adverse affect on the environment.</b> We will achieve this by including a naturally occurring enzyme within the bacterial cells that will degrade the DNA when triggered. This property will make the kit environmentally safe by ensuring that the potentially harmful GMO’s DNA will not reach the environment and risk contamination.<br />

==Research Design and Methods==<br />
<b>(1) Degradation of toxic organic molecules found within the tailings ponds will be achieved by optimizing the system characterized by the Lethbridge 2010 iGEM team.</b> The Lethbridge 2010 iGEM team demonstrated that the degradation of catechol to 2-HMS by xylE is successful using <i>E. coli</i> as the chassis<sup>7</sup>. The same spectroscopy methods used to characterize xylE will be used to detect the production of 2-HMS – an easily detectable compound due to its yellow colour – in the presence or absence of xylT as a measure of catechol degradation. To further optimize the xylE/xylT system, compartmentalization of the proteins into biological MCs will also be performed. Close proximity of xylE and xylT within the MC will facilitate rapid reactivation of xylE by xylT, increasing the efficiency of catechol degradation. <br />
<br><br><br />
The protein, lumazine synthase (LS), will be used for compartmentalization of xylE and xylT. To target xylE and xylT into the negative interior of the LS MC, a positively charged poly-arginine tag will be used. However, the positive tag may impair the function of the target protein, xylE or xylT, depending on its position at the N-terminus or C-terminus. It has been demonstrated that adding a poly-arginine tag to the C-terminus of a protein does not affect its function, while an N-terminal tag may significantly reduce a protein’s activity22. The Lethbridge 2010 iGEM team confirmed this by individually tagging the N- and C-termini of both cyan and yellow fluorescent protein (CFP and YFP, respectively) and demonstrated that the N-terminally tagged proteins were inactive. Together, CFP and YFP are a well known fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) pair that will be used as a proof-of-principle demonstrating successful co-localization in the LS MC. FRET is a distance dependent phenomenon that involves the transfer of energy from an excited donor fluorophore to an acceptor fluorophore and results in a decrease in the fluorescence signal from the donor coupled to an increase in the fluorescence signal from the acceptor when the fluorophores are in close proximity. <br />
<br><br><br />
With successful co-localization demonstrated using the CFP/YFP FRET system, optimized conditions will be used to co-localize xylE and xylT within the MC. BioBricks for xylE, xylT, and both N- and C-terminal poly-arginine tagged xylE and xylT will be assembled into constructs, tested, and submitted to the parts registry. The activity of the tagged xylE and xylT proteins will be compared to that of the wild type xylE and xylT, respectively, using spectroscopy methods. A final BioBrick construct containing LS and tagged versions of xylE and xylT will be assembled to test localization of the proteins within the MC. A simple assay to verify co-localization will be to use gradient centrifugation to isolate the LS MC followed by SDS-PAGE with markers for LS, xylE, and xylT. Co-localization will be successful if all three proteins of the LS MC purification are visualized by SDS-PAGE and extracellular application of the MC will also be tested.<br />
<br><br><br />
<b>(2) Decontamination of heavy metals found in the tailings ponds will be performed using tools already found in nature.</b> The bacteria <i>M. magneticum</i> produce the protein Mms6, which possesses the ability to reduce heavy metals into magnetic nanoparticles<sup>23</sup>. Further work will now be done to characterize the formation of the magnetic nanoparticle from the Mms6 BioBrick found in the registry. Expression conditions of Mms6 in vivo will be optimized, exploring conditions such as iron concentration and Mms6 cellular localization. To investigate the effect of Mms6 over-expression in different cellular locations, signal sequences can be used to facilitate targeting of Mms6 to the periplasm or its secretion out of the cell. Four signal sequences are available in the registry that were submitted by the Lethbridge 2010 iGEM team and will be added to the <i>mms6</i> gene construct to control localization of the over-expressed protein product. Cell growth rates are easily tracked through absorbance measures of cell cultures, and over-expression of Mms6 can be verified by SDS-PAGE. Since cell growth rates can be slowed when under metal ion stress, removing aqueous metals via nanoparticle formation will have an added benefit of improving cell viability while decreasing heavy metal ion stress in the tailings ponds.<br />
<br><br><br />
<b>(3) Sedimentation of clay particles found in the tailings ponds can be accelerated by the use of naturally occurring polysaccharides found on the surface of bacterial cell membranes that bind clay particles and form aggregates<sup>18</sup>.</b> The cell-clay aggregates can then form sediments using Antigen 43 (Ag43). Ag43 is an autotransporter that promotes bacterial cell-to-cell aggregation, which accelerates sedimentation rates<sup>19</sup>. The Peking 2010 iGEM team successfully characterized Ag43 in the <i>E. coli</i> chassis. We will take advantage of native <i>E. coli</i> surface polysaccharides’ clay-binding properties and use them in conjunction with Ag43 to efficiently settle clay particles more rapidly than the current conventional methods. The team will introduce Ag43 into <i>E. coli</i> and apply the bacteria to a clay solution. The bacteria will aggregate the clay and form sediment at the bottom of the container and the removal of clay will be observed by monitoring the optical density of the solution. This experimental parameter can be measured using spectrophotometric methods and changes in optical density over time of the solution will indicate the efficiency of the auto-aggregation system.<br />
<br><br><br />
<b>(4) To prevent contamination of the environment with GMO’s DNA we will utilize natural methods of DNA degradation to degrade the genomic DNA of our chassis to ensure that our tailings pond clean up kit will not contaminate the environment with DNA.</b> We will utilize the part characterized by the UC Berkeley 2007 iGEM team that degrades the genomic DNA of the organism. The gene, <i>BamH</i>I, codes for a restriction endonuclease that effectively degrades the genomic material of the cell when induced, while having no effect on the function of other proteins within the cell<sup>21</sup>. Thus, the expression of this gene will allow for the pathways we introduce to the <i>E. coli</i> chassis to remain functional while removing the risk of DNA contamination. By having the ability to destroy the chassis’ DNA on command, we gain tight control over regulating the engineered bacterial cells. We will be able to degrade the genomic DNA and create an inert organism unable to adversely affect the environment and ensure that all parts of the kit are free of GMO DNA. The viability of the chassis once the DNA has been degraded will be tested under different conditions to determine the best conditions for use.<br />
<br />
==Significance and Future Directions==<br />
Production of an environmentally safe tailings pond clean up kit, which contains methods applicable to large-scale treatment facilities, has multiple advantages. Use of the kit will both accelerate remediation of current tailings ponds in addition to providing methods of water treatment directly after industrial use. The kit will be an environmentally safe prototype that contains biological components for tailings ponds decontamination of (1) toxic organic molecules, (2) heavy metals, and (3) fine clay particles. Future work on the project will include extending the types of toxic organic molecules that it is capable of degrading to molecules that are metabolized by cells (Figure 1). These molecules include naphthene, anthracene, and fluorene, which can be further degraded to catechol. The ability to degrade these chemicals to catechol will complement the prototype kit and increase its effectiveness at tailings pond remediation. The current heavy metals we are able to target for decontamination are iron and cobalt. We will target additional metals by using <i>in vitro</i> evolution of the Mms6 enzyme to change its specificity for different heavy metals. In addition, optimization of the kit for different stages of tailings pond remediation can be performed. Kit optimization for different tailings pond stages and conditions will allow for universal use in a variety of tailings ponds found in every corner of the globe.<br />

==Registration FAQs==<br />
<br />
===Registration Process===<br />
#''How do I add members to my team roster?''<br />
#*There are multiple ways to add members to your team:<br />
#** After the team application has been accepted, the instructors of the team will receive a team registration code that they can provide to students on the team. The students can then create a user account and at that point, join the already existing team and add themselves to the team roster.<br />
#** When team members create their user accounts, they will be able to join an existing iGEM team by request. Once they complete their user account setup, they will have a user account but it will be up to the instructors to accept their membership on the team. Instructors will be able to do this by going to the Team Information page.<br />
#** The primary contact of the team will be be able to add team members to the team roster by inputting their Users & Groups system user names into the Team Information page. For this, the team members must have already created their own user accounts. This last method of adding team members is probably '''not the easiest way''' since you will be faced with a pull down list of all user names, so we would suggest adding members via one of the first two methods.<br />
#''What if I already have a Registry account?''<br />
#*The Registry user database has been copied over to the User & Groups Management system. This means that your Registry account WILL work to log in to [https://igem.org UNG] and therefore, to [https://2011.igem.org iGEM 2011]. Don't forget that it is all one log in system now. '''Note:''' The Registry has moved over to the same servers/computers that iGEM and UNG are on and therefore works with the single log in system.<br />
#''Do projects have to be described when the team registers?''<br />
#*No, the Resource Description should explain what resources the team has to do their work. The team is given a month after the beginning of their summer to select and describe their project.<br />
#''Can I get a Receipt or Invoice for my team payment?''<br />
#*The team payment information is at the [[Team_Registration_Fee | Team Registration Fee]] you can get an invoice there. If you need more help, there is contact information at the bottom of the page.<br />
#''I don't know the names of the students yet. How can I register?''<br />
#*We don't expect you to know the names of the students yet. You can change your team's roster until the deadline for the Jamboree. All you need now is your primary contact information, requirements description, and team registration fee.<br />
#''I am a student at ??? university. What do I need to do to register a team?''<br />
#*You need to have the active engagement of two instructors. One of them will be the primary contact. So, go find some friendly instructors and ask them for help. Check 2011.igem.org for more information about how to start a team.<br />
#''I am an undergraduate and when I try to register my team, the "Apply for a new iGEM 2011 team" link is grayed out. How can I register?''<br />
#*Only a faculty member can register an iGEM team. We need to know who is the primary contact and who will pay the bills and supervise the team.<br />
#''I see the budget includes stipends for the students. Is that required?''<br />
#*The students have to survive over the summer. Whatever arrangements you work out with the students is up to you. But, please treat iGEM as a full-time activity for the students. Other teams will.<br />
#''How do I specify a track during Registration?''<br />
#*The track specification on the Team Information page does not need to be specified at the time of Registration. Teams will choose tracks later in the iGEM season. See the [[Calendar of Events | Calendar]] for specific dates as they become available.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Team Composition===<br />
#''Can one student be a team?''<br />
#*No, iGEM is a team-based program. The interactions of the team members and their advisors are an important part of the iGEM activity. Also, iGEM requires a major effort from the team and it is unlikely that an individual undergraduate student could compete effectively. Finally, the involvement of two instructors is also part of the iGEM program. Simply having two faculty advisors who oversee your work will not be enough. So, find some friends and build a real iGEM team for next year.<br />
#''How big can a team be?''<br />
#*There is no limit to the number of undergraduate or high-school students on a team. The limit is only natural. If there are too many students, you may find it hard to come to a single project. But, some teams do have more than one project. They have to fit all the projects into one poster and one 20 minute presentation. Also, it may be expensive to bring many students to the Jamboree.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Resources===<br />
#''We want to have a team next year. Can we get the DNA Distribution now?''<br />
#*Yes, the parts distribution is available to Academic Labs that are members of the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Please have your lab director contact Meagan or see '''[https://igem.org igem.org]''' for membership. When that is complete, we will be happy to send the current parts to you.<br />
#''We are in the southern hemisphere and summer vacation is during January and February when can we get the parts?''<br />
#*Most of our parts come from iGEM teams in early November. They get processed and put into the DNA distribution for the following year around March. We can send you the distribution from the previous year anytime prior to around March.<br />
<br />
<br />
===iGEM Season===<br />
#''Do I have to attend the teachers workshops in person? Can a graduate student attend?''<br />
#*IGEM is a community activity. It will be best for you to meet the other instructors and be able to represent the Synthetic Biology activities at your school.<br />
#''Do I have to attend the Jamboree?''<br />
#*The Jamboree is the climax of the iGEM program. You should try to attend. In the past we have had some teams who planned to just send a representative to present the team's project. That would be less expensive, but would deprive the rest of the team members of this important experience and full credit for their accomplishments. However, not all students are able to attend; we are disappointed but understand.<br />
#''I was the leader of an iGEM team in 2010, but can't participate this year. What should I do?''<br />
#*Please let us know about this sad situation. It will help up plan better. We have to make arrangements for the Jamboree very soon and need an accurate count of teams participating in iGEM 2011.</div>Randyhttp://2011.igem.org/JamboreesJamborees2011-10-15T22:31:29Z<p>Randy: </p>

<div>In a letter to the iGEM 2011 Software teams, Randy Rettberg, iGEM Director and President of the iGEM Foundation, invited all registered Software teams to automatically advance and compete at the World Championship Jamboree. <br />
<br />

* Be a dedicated, registered Software team<br />

'''From''': Randy Rettberg, iGEM Director, iGEM Foundation President<br><br />
'''Subject''': Software team announcement<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Dear iGEM Instructors, Students, and Friends,<br />
<br />
Every year, we have tried to include everyone who<br />
wanted to participate in iGEM. We have had high school students in collegiate teams,<br />
business majors on teams, and programmers learning to pipette. While this<br />
has been innovative for us, it has not been perfect for all these other participants.<br />
<br />
This year, we have started a new High School Division of iGEM specifically for<br />
high school teams. It is a 'division' because it runs on a different schedule and<br />
has different rules.<br />
<br />
Next year, we will initiate an Entrepreneurial Division of iGEM for iGEM students<br />
wet, dry, and to be wealthy who want to see about starting a synthetic biology company<br />
based on iGEM. Their projects will be business plans and their judges will come from the<br />
venture community. The grand prize may be financial backing for their new company.<br />
<br />
Also this year, we have realized that Software Tools are not just an extension of wetlab<br />
activity, but are valuable as projects themselves. The programming talents needed to<br />
make great software need nuturing. As synthetic biology matures, we all hope that<br />
tools will be developed that make our designs easier to explore, construction of the systems<br />
more automatic, and the results more predictable. <br />
<br />
This year, there are few Software Tools teams, some regions have only one or two. In order<br />
to bring this software activity to critical mass this year, iGEM is inviting all currently identified<br />
software tools track teams to the World Championship at MIT. To qualify, the teams must still<br />
present at the Regional Jamboree. That Regional Jamboree is the only opportunity to win medals.<br />
But, they will automatically advance to the World Championship. '''This will not count against<br />
the quota of allowed teams from any region.'''<br />
<br />
We don't know how the Software Tools teams will be considered in 2012. The activity this year<br />
is not a precedent for 2012.<br />
<br />
As iGEM leaves MIT and moves into the iGEM Foundation with new lab and office space,<br />
it will also expand into new areas and will involve new ideas, new schools, new techniques,<br />
and new members of the iGEM Community. We welcome them all.<br />
<br />
iGEM Headquarters wishes all the iGEM 2011 teams good luck at the Jamborees.<br />
May you all win !<br />

In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible!

Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible!

The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible!

The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

In order to communicate out more iGEM HQ has made, and will continue to make, a series of videos -- informational, instructional, at-the-bench, and others.

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

We've been taking a look at the iGEM wikis and we're happy to see how much effort has gone into them. As you continue to work on your wikis make sure that they comply with the iGEM 2011 <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Requirements/Wiki">wiki requirements</a>.</p><br />

<p>iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

In order to communicate out more iGEM HQ has made, and will continue to make, a series of videos -- informational, instructional, at-the-bench, and others. There is even a collection of community videos. Want to learn something new? Share your team's video? Learn about iGEM? See the <a href="https://igem.org/Videos">Videos page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>iGEM HQ has put a lot of work into creating custom forum software that will enable the iGEM community to ask questions, keep in touch, share ideas, and more. The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>Wondering where to test out this new forum system? Leave a comment on a video on the new <a href="https://igem.org/Videos">iGEM videos</a> page. In order to communicate out more iGEM HQ has made, and will continue to make, a series of videos -- informational, instructional, at-the-bench, and others. There is even a collection of community videos. Want to learn something new? Share your team's video? Learn about iGEM? See the <a href="https://igem.org/Videos">Videos page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<td><br />
<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible!

The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

The system is a combined comment/forum system so you can comment on any page and your comments will be linked directly to the forum, or you could just post topics in the forum. Either way you use it, check it out and let us know what you think. For more information, see the <a href="https://igem.org/Help:Forums">Forum Help page.</a></p><br />

<p>In previous iGEM Jamborees, there were several teams that were not able to attend due to visa problems. In order to avoid a similar problem this year, we are asking that all teams apply for visas by <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%; color:#ef111f;">June 30</span> at the latest. If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible! The wait time for visas is typically 3 months, but it can be longer.<br><br>Details on how to apply can be found <a href="https://2011.igem.org/Visa_Help">here</a>.<br />

If you plan to attend a Regional Jamboree and require a visa, apply as soon as possible!

<hr />
<div>Here you can find help and information on how to apply for a visa to go to an iGEM 2011 Jamboree. Certain countries require a visa for citizens to enter the United States. Please verify if you will require a visa to attend the World Jamboree or any Regional Jamborees.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because of the new Regional format, participants may potentially need to apply for two visas -- one to enter the country where your Regional Jamboree is held, and one to enter the United States if your team advances to the World Championship Jamboree. Note that there will '''NOT''' be sufficient time to apply for and obtain a visa to enter the US after the Regional Jamboree so participants '''MUST''' start the visa application process now, independent of whether their team will advance to the World Championship Jamboree.. <br />
<br />
<br />
iGEM Headquarters does not have any authority over consulate offices or the visa application process. The only way to have the highest chance of successfully obtaining a visa is to <span style="color:#58a419; font-weight:bold; font-size:115%;">apply early</span>. If you do not yet know who will be attending the Jamboree, err on the side of caution and have all members apply for a visa.<br />
<br />
<br />
Students should apply for B-1 visas, not B-2. This is a business visa, not a travel visa. Under a travel visa you are not allowed to present at a conference. For more information on the B-1 visa see the MIT's International Scholars Office '''[http://web.mit.edu/scholars/administrators/b1viswav.html visa page]'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color:#fd8b06; font-weight:bold; font-size:115%;">Important:</span> Make sure that you are on your team's '''[https://igem.org/Team.cgi roster]'''. If you are not already on the roster you must join the team and have the primary contact approve your request to join. Alternatively you can ask the primary contact to provide you with the team membership joining code. For more instructions on how to join the team see the '''[[FAQs#Registration_FAQs | Registration FAQs]]'''.<br />

===Invitation letter system===<br />
You can get a customized invitation letter to use when applying for you visa by using the new invitation letter system. <br />
