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."

 

iGEM Medals for Non-Software Teams

Webelieve our team deserves thefollowing medal:  þBronze þSilver þGold

 

Because wemet the following criteria (check all that apply and provide details whereneeded)

 

Requirements for aBronze Medal:

iGEM Prizes

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

☐BestHuman Practice Advance

þBest Experimental Measurement

☐BestModel

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

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

 

Team_Parts

To help the judges evaluate your parts, pleaseidentify 3 of your parts that you feel are best documented and are of thehighest quality.

Part Number(s): BBa_K559000, BBa_K559010

Your team has listed these parts as your teamfavorites:

 

iGEMSafety

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

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

Attributions and Contributions

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