Future Direction

We will keep working on adding more components into the toolkits at UW and hope that iGEM community will be able to use toolkits to join in on the fun!



Gibson Assembly Toolkit

We have developed and submitted several vectors that are Gibson Cloning friendly(see the "parts submitted" page). More of such vectors should be developed and added to the toolkit in the future.

Magnetosome Toolkit

We still have a long way to achieve our goal of making magnetic E.colo but this project is certainly worth investigating. We have a ton of project ideas for the future teams...

  • Express the rest of the gene in the MAI region in E.coli
  • Co-express the genes and study their interaction
  • Build the scaffold structure in E.coli
  • Express the full assembly in E.coli
  • Develop assay for the magnet formation
  • Determine the optimal cell growth condition......
