Judging Criteria
Bronze
Team registration
We have registered our team.
Complete Judging form
We will complete the Judging form as soon as it is available.
Team Wiki
We have set up a team wiki.
Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree
We have prepared a poster and a presentation, which we will be presenting at the Jamboree.
At least one new submitted and well-characterized standard BioBrick Part or Device. A new application of and outstanding documentation (quantitative data showing the Part’s/ Device’s function) of a previously existing BioBrick part in the “Experience” section of that BioBrick’s Registry entry also counts.
We have designed several new BioBricks.
Silver
In addition to the Bronze Medal requirements...Demonstrate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected
Several of our BioBricks work as expected. For example, this one.
Characterize the operation of at least one new BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry.
We have characterised several of our BioBricks.
Gold
In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements, any one or more of the following:
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). For instance, strengthening the expression of a part by mutating the DNA sequence, modifying one or a few parts in a 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, etc. Data from an experimental comparison between the original and improved part/ device is strongly recommended.
We have codon-optimised super-folded GFP for expression in Escherichia coli.
Help another iGEM team by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
We collaborated with the WITS-CSIR team from South Africa. Our teams exchanged knowledge about wet lab assays and we helped them with modelling their theophylline riboswitch.
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.
We have explored the steps necessary for release of engineered bacteria into the environment. In addition, we designed Gene Guard, a novel containment device that prevents horizontal gene transfer.
