Our project title is; The evolution of Synthetic Biology; The introduction of new photosynthetic eukaryotes as model organisms. We chose Physcomitrella patens and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as our experimental organisms. We aimed to test BioBricks in these species to see if they would be compatible in eukaryotes
For our Human Practices we wanted to find out whether Synthetic Biology was feared and the reasons behind whether it was feared or if people were welcoming of this new scientific discipline. Click on the link above to find out more..
This year the UEA/JIC iGEM team was proud to host the Annual iGEM UK conference. The meet up provided a great opportunity to find out how other teams were progressing and the kinds of directions their projects were taking. The meet up also provided an unmissable opportunity to socialise and to fully engage in the spirit of iGEM. Click on the link above to find out more.
The University of East Anglia and the John Innes Centre are entering the iGEM competition for the first time! We are a team of nine students from a range of disciplines within Biology (as well as one chemist) supported by a long-suffering collaboration of advisors. We are based at the Norwich Research Park and are using the facilities there to introduce a species of algae and a species of moss to iGEM for use as two new model organisms in the competition.
