Having decided to make a bioclock which would display time, we started searching for different ways of acheiving this goal. We needed a display unit, a counter and another part to measure time. We had below ideas for the different parts.
Display unit:
1)Make use of an array of LEC (Light Emitting Cells) constructed by last years Valencia iGEM team to display the hour numerically.
2)Display different colors for the different hours by using the different color biobricks from last years Cambridge iGEM team.
After discussion we decided to use the second method to display the time. Later we decided to use fluroscent proteins rather than the color proteins as the Cambridge biobricks was not a part of the 2010 distribution. However, the fluroscent proteins could very easily be replaced by the color biobricks.
Counter and Measuring time:
1)Using one of the oscialltors that had been made earlier in combination with a counter.
2)Novel idea to use the rate of diffusion to measure and count time at the same time by using the spatial placement of the colonies to count the hour.
After discussion we decided to use the second method to count and measure time.Each of the tasks was divided up among us. Each group searched for literature regarding achieivng our goals.
