Judging Criteria

Medals

Bronze

The UPO-Sevilla team is registered in iGEM 2011. Actually, we were among the first four teams in registering this year.

We have completed the judging form.

We have design a Wiki full of information about our project and our team.

We will present a poster and a talk in the iGEM Jamboree.

We have submitted twenty new BioBricks and BioBrick compatible plasmids. We have sent the physical DNA for six new parts and plasmids: BBa_K510000, BBa_K510012, BBa_K510022, BBa_K510002, BBa_K510019, BBa_K510036. Two of the new plasmids for BioBrick genome integration have been characterized qualitative and quantitatively: BBa_K510000, BBa_K510012. Also, we have characterized by mathematical modeling, multi-agent modeling and quantitative experimental assays a previous existing BioBrick. We have entered this information in the experience section of the part in the Registry.

Silver

We have demonstrated that two new BioBrick compatible plasmids for BioBrick genome integration (BBa_K510000, BBa_K510012) designed by our team works as expected.

We have characterized the operation of these two plasmids (BBa_K510000, BBa_K510012) and we have entered this information into the “Main Page” and “Experience page” sections of their Registry entry.

Gold

We have improved the function of an the existing BioBrick Device http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K177038 which works as a Flip-Flop system by designing an improved Flip-Flop which includes translational and proteolysis control besides of transcriptional control of the preexisting Flip-Flop. We have entered the information of the two new devices which make the improved Flip-Flop (BBa_K510019, BBa_K510036) in the Registry.

About Human Practice issues, we have carried out several approaches for spreading the basis of Synthetic Biology. We have launched the first blog about Synthetic Biology in Spanish, Tornillos y Genes, with 11.000 visitors by now. This blog will allow an easier dissemination of Synthetic Biology among Spanish-speaking people, and will engage in SB more people from different backgrounds. We have developed a SB spreading program in High schools of Spain, consisting of talks given by the student members of the team. Moreover, we have taken part in two science fairs for all public: Sevilla Science Fair and the Week of Science of Pablo de Olavide University.
