Team IGEM Paris 2011

Collaborations

In the project time we tried to establish as much connection between iGEM teams, labs and our team. Here is the list and the acknowledgements:

iGEM teams

We established a collaboration between our team and the the Pekin iGEM team. Indeed, we re-used their 2007 iGEM project result (the push-on push-off system) in our own project. They kindly sent this device to us as well as microbial strains. We are indebted to their team leader for participating to a couple of our reunions at the beginning of our project during his stay in Paris; his ideas helped us moving forward in the different competing projects we had in mind.

We established a collaboration for the Human practice with two teams: we gave our opinion to Freiburg's after reviewing their "Oath for Life" project, we wish them good luck! A great thanks as well to Grenoble team for helping us on our Human Practice project by sending us a video of a debate about Synthetic Biology that they did. We are working with the leaflets they sent us to help them in return.

Laboratories

During the project we established communication with several labs which gave us strains and plasmids. We would like to give a special thanks to:

  • P.Dubey and S.Ben-Yehuda, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem whose article spiked our interest and initiated our project. We thank them for the strains they gave us and for their kind advice in setting up the experiments
  • M. Elowitz, from Caltech, who gave us his pComG-cfp pComS-yfp contruction
  • L. A. Sonenheim, from Tufts University, who gave us ∆CodY B. Subtilis strains
  • J. V. Veening, from Groningen Usiversity, for the reporter strains he sent us in relation with the sporulation system
  • H. Putzer, from IBPC, for the multi host vector we biobricked
  • S. Serror, from Orsay University, for the help and advice she gave us
  • D. Lane, from Toulouse II University, who gave us the tetR:YFP and TetO array we biobricked
  • P. Bassereau, from Institut Curie for the ideas she gave us to model the assisted diffusion
