Judging Form

Team:	Hong_Kong-CUHK
Region:	Asia
Track:	Foundational Advance
iGEM Year:	2011
Project Name:	ChloriColight
Project Abstract:	"Control of gene switch by phototuning Conventional induction systems usually involve addition of a chemical agent that functions either by turning on or off an output event, which is equivalent to flipping an on/off switch. In our project, we aim to replace such analog system with a phototunable cascade, which can trigger a measurable output (e.g. gene expression) according to the wavelengths, intensities, and durations of a light source in a quantitative manner. In the long run, this system could be further modified to convert light into other types of output, such as osmolality and electric current."

✓Successfully complete and submit this iGEM 2011Judging form.

✓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.

✓Plan to present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree.

✓Enter information detailing at least one newstandard BioBrick Part or Device in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.Including:

✓Primary nucleic acid sequence

✓Description of function

✓Authorship

✓Safety notes, if relevant.

✓Acknowledgment of sources and references

iGEM Prizes

All teams are eligible for special prizes at the Regional Jamborees.The special prizes include Best Wiki, BestPoster, Best Presentation, Best New BioBrick Part (Natural or Engineered). To help the judges, please indicate if you feel you should be evaluated for any of the following special prizes:

☐Best Human Practice Advance

✓Best Experimental Measurement

☐Best Model

Please explain briefly why you should receive any of these three special prizes:

Precise measurement of the efficiency and optimization of the innovative applications with our biobricks has been done. Furthermore, the phototuning ability of our biobricks' applications has also been measured. Measurement of biobrick performance was carried out to make it a regulated system.

Team_Parts

To help the judges evaluate your parts, please identify 3 of your parts that you feel are best documented and are of the highest quality.

Part Number(s): BBa_K559000, BBa_K559010

Your team has listed these parts as your team favorites:

 

iGEM Safety

For iGEM 2011 teams are asked to detail how they approached any issues of biological safety associated with their projects.

The iGEM judges expect that you have answered the four safety questions on your iGEM 2011 wiki.

Attributions and Contributions

For iGEM 2011 the description of each project must clearly attribute work done by the team and distinguish it from work done by others, including the host labs, advisors, and instructors.
