We think the best way to deal with safety issues is to encourage all iGEM teams to contribute in making one solid safety standard and make it official. Also, lectures related to safety issues can help ensure the enforcement of rules and requirements put forth by this official standard.

- NO. First of all, we were given the GENOME of v. cholera by seoul national university collage of medicine. Genes of vibrio cholerae that we are used for our project are involved in replication and partition system, rctA, rctB, replication origin and parABS. These genes are known as non toxicity or infection.

-
- NO. Both rctA and rctB can control only replication initiation of chromosomeII of vibrio cholera. rctA is non-translated gene and rctB can initiate replication. parA, parB and pars are known as partition gene.
 
-
So, these genes can’t cause any risks to safety and health of the general public. But our team may employ parABS genes of bacillus subtillis instead of vibrio cholerae’s because information of vibrio’s parABS gene is much less than bacillus.

-NO. In iGEM2011, goal of our project is that it has only ability to self-replication and partition like normal chromosome. This is a prototype which has only replication and partition abilities in e.coli. So, although it can cause some a little change, it can’t change general nature of transformed e.coli. However, more characterized artificial chromosome will be manufactured in the future if we accomplish our project and our specialized gene database.

It is to exchange and share the legal information on LMO and to offer the list of the approved LMO under the domestic law.

In addition a new analyzing method which calculates the distance between replication origin and each essential gene (DTO; Distance to origin) in each species, and provides the number of essential genes within 10 percent of total genome size are required. Using this method, we confirmed a distribution of essential genes in each organism.
