Team IGEM Paris 2011

Collaborations

In the project time we tried to establish as much connection between iGEM teams, labs and our team. Here is the list and the greetings:

iGEM teams

We established a collaboration between our team and the the Pekin iGEM team. Indeed, we re-used their last year's project (the push-on push-off system) in our own project. They kindly sent this device to us as well as microbial strains. We are endebted to their team leader for participating to a couple of our reunions at the beginning of our project during his stay in Paris; his ideas helped us moving forward in the different competing projects we had in mind.

We established a collaboration for the Human practice with two teams: We gave our opinion to Freiburg's after reviewing their "Oath for Life" project, we wish them good luck. A great thanks as well to Grenoble team for helping us on our Human Practice project by sening us a video of a debate they did.

Laboratories

During the project we established communication with several labs which gave us strains and plasmids. We would like to give a special thanks to:

  • M. Elowitz, from Caltech, who gave us his pComG-cfp pComS-yfp contruction
  • L. A. Sonenheim, from Tufts University, who gave us ∆CodY B. Subtilis strains
  • J. V. Veening, from Groningen Usiversity, for the reporter strains he sended us in relation with the sporulation system
  • H. Putzer, from IBPC, for the multi host vector we biobricked
  • S. Serror, from Orsay University, for the help and advices she gave us
  • D. Lane, from Toulouse II University, who gave us the tetR:YFP - TetO array we biobricked
