iGEM Medal Requirements
This year, despite of our highly ambitious project, our team achieved goals in several different areas.
We successfully modelled, designed, characterised and entered our IPTG- inducible Filamentous cells BioBrick part BBa_K302012 is the parts registry.
Bronze Award
The requirements to earn a Bronze Medal are:
-
BRONZE ONE:We have registered the team,had a great summer, and are looking forward to the Jamboree! -
BRONZE TWO:Successfully complete and submit a Project Summary form.
-
BRONZE THREE:We have created and shared a description of our team's project on the iGEM wiki! -
BRONZE FOUR:We plan to present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree -
BRONZE FIVE:Enter information detailing at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device in the Registry of Parts- Entered information for each new part or device should at least include primary nucleic acid sequence, description of function, authorship, any relevant safety notes, and an acknowledgement of sources and references. E.g. [http://parts.mit.edu/registry/index.php/Part:BBa_J45004 BBa_J45004].
- Teams are currently expected to design and contribute standard biological parts that conform to the accepted BioBrick standards for physical assembly. Non-BioBrick parts will not be recognized by iGEM 2010 judges unless they have specific approval. The two specific BioBrick physical assembly schemes that the judges will recognize by default are (i) Tom Knight's [http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/21168 original assembly standard] and (ii) Ira Phillips [http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/32535 fusion assembly standard].
- [Special Note. A discussion has been initiated by the BioBricks Standards Working Group to consider updating the BioBrick assembly standard in time for June 1. Check back for any updates on acceptable BioBrick assembly standards.]
- Any new Devices that are based on gene expression are expected to conform to the PoPS device boundary standard. See chapter 3 of the book, [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Adventures Adventures in Synthetic Biology], for more information about common signal carriers and PoPS.
- We have entered details of the parts we are using into the registry.
-
BRONZE SIX:Submit DNA for at least one new BioBrick Part or Device to the Registry of Parts.- The submitted DNA must be associated with a Part or Device for which you have entered information describing the part or device, and must conform to the BioBrick standards for Parts or Devices (see above).
- IPTG-inducible filamentous cell formation part has had DNA sent to the registry
Silver Award
The requirements to earn a Silver Medal, in addition to the Bronze Medal requirements, are:
-
SILVER ONE:Demonstrate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as Characterisation of the IPTG-inducible filamentous cell formation part -
SILVER TWO:Characterize the operation of at least one new BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information on the Parts or Device page via the Registry of Parts [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K302012:Experience| IPTG-inducible filamentous cell formation part: BBa_K302012]
Gold Award
The requirements to earn a Gold Medal, in addition to the Silver Medal requirements, are any one OR more of the following:
-
GOLD ONE:Characterize or improve an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information back on the Registry [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K302003 BBa_K302003]. - GOLD TWO: Help another iGEM team by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
-
GOLD THREE:Develop and document a new technical standard that supports the (i) design of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (ii) construction of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (iii) characterization of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (iv) analysis, modeling, and simulation of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (v) sharing BioBrick Parts or Devices, either via physical DNA or as information via the internet.We investigate the benefits of an e-Science approach, with a focus on workflows, to synthetic biology. - GOLD FOUR: Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project, such as safety, security, ethics, or ownership, sharing, and innovation.
