Team:Tsinghua
From 2011.igem.org
Team
The team from Tsinghua University is comprised of undergraduates from the School of Life Sciences.
This year we want to exploit the value of E. Coli that is often overlooked, piggy-backing the metabolites as they come across.
Parts
We built a host of parts during our project. The idea is that after every small step, we store our sequence as a biobrick part.
This strategy marks our progress and facilitates future use of these sequences.
Cooperation
Cooperative atmosphere is filled in our project.
We resorted to Tsinghua-A iGEM Team while building our mathematical models. On the other hand, we spared no effort helping other teams with their wet labs. We helped XMU Team with their parts building and helped verified the shuttle vector of NYMU.
Protection and Publicity
As far as wet lab is concerned, safety and protection is of the highest priority. We highly valued safety in all our operations and made a detailed safety brochure.
We also devoted efforts to publicize synthetic biology. The teams in China held a summer meetup to discuss our progress and share our resources. We also invited the former team leader of PKU to give a seminar on synthetic biology and iGEM competition.
