Overall project
One of the most basic actions of all engineers is the asembly and the
deletion of fundamental parts (bricks. Bearing in mind that one of the
purposes of the iGEM is to make the link between synthetic biology and
engineers sciences, we'd like to manage those simple steps in the easiest
way in biological systems.
Unfortunately, in E. coli, it's still difficult to do that in one step
because of the lack of genetic tools to catalyze homologous recombination
with linear DNA.
By the assembly of an unique plasmid containing different genes derived from
phages, and the design and construction of receiver plasmids, we aim to
provide the iGEM with a system that would confer to E. coli the useful
properties of yeasts.
The biological circuit is being modelized at the moment by a modelling team
of mathematists and physicists in order to find the best combinations. This
same team will also use parameters derived from our characterizations of the
genetic circuit to refine the final model.
Finally, the Human Practise team, composed of students from social science,
will discuss the ethical problems asked by people when living organisms are
being handled. The team aims to understand people's fears and to give them
clues to answer themselves to theses questions.
