Our Achievements
Using the iGEM 2011 Judging Form as a guide, we summarize our achievements below.
Requirements for a Bronze Medal: | |
---|---|
Register the team, have a great summer, and plan to have fun at the Jamboree. | We had a great summer, and are looking forward to having fun at the Jamboree!! |
Successfully complete and submit the iGEM 2011 Judging form. | Sumbitted! |
Create and share a Description of the team's project using the iGEM wiki and the team's parts using the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. | Done! |
Plan to present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree. | Design of the poster is underway; the members are already practicing their presentations. |
Enter information detailing at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Including:
|
Please see our Parts page for a list of parts we designed or constructed. |
Submit DNA for at least one new BioBrick Part or Device to the Registry. | We submitted 4 new basic parts! (see our parts page) |
Additional Requirements for a Silver Medal: | |
Demonstrate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected; characterize the operation of your new part/device. | We demonstrated that Deinococcus radiodurans PprA (BBa_K602003), PprM (BBa_K602003) and RecA (BBa_K602003) protected transformed E. coli cells from UV-induced lethality to varying extents; see documentation at Registry or the Tests page. |
Enter this information and other documentation on the part's 'Main Page' section of the Registry. | |
Additional Requirements for a Gold Medal: | |
Characterize or improve an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information back on the Registry. | We characterized the RecA promoter J22106 by attaching a lycopene biosynthesis gene cluster (part??) downstream as a reporter to yield the DNA damage detection device (part??). More information can be found at the Registry page or our Tests page. |
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. | While we did not come up with a new approach, we did conduct a joint Human Practices survey with various other Japanese teams on issues concerning biosafety and bioethics. |
In summary, we fulfilled all the requirements to get a Gold Medal. We also
- learned tons about Synthetic Biology,
- had valuable hands-on experience with molecular biology lab experiments,
- picked up some web-authoring skills like HTML, CSS and JavaScript,
- interacted with teams from around the world, and
- had a really great summer!
