+ | Improve the function of an existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team or your own institution in a previous year) and enter this information in the Registry (in the “Experience” section of that BioBrick’s Registry entry), and don't forget to create a new registry page for the improved part. | ||
+ | The growth of the Registry depends on having a broad base of reliable parts. This is why the improvement of an existing part is just as important as the creation and documentation of a new part. An "improvement" is anything that improves the functionality and ease-of-use of a part, so that it is more likely to be used by the community. For instance: strengthening the expression of a part by mutating the DNA sequence; modifying one or a few parts in construct (Device) so that it performs its intended job better; improving a cloning or expression vector that can be easily used by the entire community; and of course, troubleshooting and fixing a part reported to be non-functional. Data from an experimental comparison between the original and improved part/ device is strongly recommended. | ||
+ | Help another iGEM team by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system. | ||
+ | Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project, such as safety, security, ethics, or ownership, sharing, and innovation. | ||

Accomplishments
The University of Calgary iGEM Team has had many accomplishments this Summer
In our promoter project...
In our promoter project...
- We designed a novel protocol to identify small hydrophobic molecule interacters within a cell.
- We were able to successfully biotinylate a naphthenic acid, suggesting that we may be able to biotinylate other small hydrophobic molecuels to screen for interactors in the search for responsive elements.
- We identified a gene that is upregulated in the presence of naphthenic acids, suggesting a possible responsive elements or degradative protein.
- We characterized a novel reporter function for the lacZ gene using an electrochemical output.
- We laid the groundwork for future use of electrochemical reporting in iGEM
- We characterized a Pseudomonas-E. coli conjugation construct
- We submitted parts and protocols for future work in both microalgae and Pseudomonas
- We characterized the viability of Pseudomonas and E. coli to grow and survive in tailings ponds
In our Reporter Project...
In our Chassis project...
Judging Requirements
Bronze:- Team registration - Our team successfully registered for the iGEM Competition
- Complete Judging Form - To view our Judging Form please href="https://igem.org/2011_Judging_Form?id=640" click here
- Team Wiki - Our team has successfully designed a wiki page for our project
- Submit at least one new well-characterized standard BioBrick Part - Our team has submitted several new parts all of which we have fully characterized.
