Team:Uppsala-Sweden/Collaboration

Team Uppsala-Sweden has helped team Freiburg with trouble-shooting PCR. Uppsala shared the primer design of some light sensor genes, as well as information on touchdown PCR with Freiburg. Notably, the primer sequence for cloning cph8 from Jeffrey Tabor's pJT122 plasmid was disclosed by Uppsala. Furthermore, PCR protocols that proved successful were shown to Freiburg. This information was also present in Freiburg's notebook (16.08).

TU Munich have had problems with assembling the red light-sensor cph8 with other DNA constructs. The ligation attempts persistently failed to work. In order to help TU Munich keep going with the progress, Uppsala sent a functional cph8 plasmid to Munich. TU Munich confirmed that they have received the plasmid and successfully transformed some cells with it. TU Munich also "checked it for correct size on gel and it looks fine". In exchange, TU Munich provided information on EnvZ/OmpR kinetics to Uppsala to assist team Uppsala with their modelling.

We helped the Bilkent Unam iGEM team by providing them with BL-21 E.Coli strain which was needed in order for their project to proceed.This strain was obtained from one of our advisor Anders Virtanen's lab. and prepared to be sent.It was confirmed that it was received.

Description

The METU-BIN-ANKARA team provided us their software which they developed for their project to test it if we can use for our Project. We examined the software by searching the parts that have been used during our Project.We used red,blue and green lights as input which activate red sensor(cph8),green sensor(ccaS) and blue sensor(YF1).We are aiming to get three colours as output which are blue output(amilCP),red output(mCherry) and green/yellow output(amilGFP). Güngör………….RESULTS…………………. This software is very helpful to search the parts and check if the parts are in the standart registry database and decide which parts work effectively with eachother as well.That provides an easy start to constract the parts and give more efficient results. We appreciate METU-BIN-ANKARA team to creat that software and believe that it will be a very helpful software which will solve the problems that we or onother teams faced up in the beginning.
