Abstract

Firedamp explosions is frequently seen cases at all mines over the world. Every year, 50 miners lose their lives in Turkey because of firedamp explosions. Firedamp is a flammable gas found in coal mines and it mainly contains methane. 5%-15% methane level in firedamp is risky amount that makes gas mixture explosive enough to explode by just one spark. Beside its explosive property, methane is also the main contributor to global warming and recent mine mechanisms release obtained methane into air. Since, it is important to convert methane gas in mines into other derives to reduce its effect on global warming. Our aim to design a device which will work on E.coli that provides solutions for side effects of methane. Device that we are planning to construct involves the genes of bacteria encoding methane monooxygenase (MMo), and the mechanism will help by working through a series of compact systems in mines. First part of this compact system is the sensation of methane, hence the second is the entrapment and the last part will be the conversion of methane to methanol.

At this month we have started to apply graph theory on iGEM parts. We have specified nodes, edges, graph types. Furthermore, we have started to develop a new “ Part Registery Form ” to be able to more standardize the part entry to be able to apply some algorithms on the parts more efficiently.

At this time all bases for application were nearly to finish, the software group was waiting row data from the gene group. Meanwhile, they were working on code bases.

User Guide

For new users whom want to interest with synthetic biology and for experienced scientists, in our program you have two options for Input Output properties ;

To find input-output related biobrick parts or larger constructs! If you want to provide specific chemical or physical inputs from external environment, you may choose these inputs from the list. if you want other specific inputs which will be expressed from a coding sequence, the list can provide these specified protein names.

Wanted features of outputs can be selected by either from list or entering individually into text boxes.

Then click on the “Show Parts ” button.

Then the program will show you the parts have specified I/O properties

To see the properties of a part just click on it.

After clicking, you will see a highlighted pathway on the 2nd graph. Which are the subparts of the clicked part. Showing the sub graph in network.
