Our Achievements
The Team Alberta 2010 iGEM team has made numerous key achievements.
- We completed the Gold Medal requirements for iGEM.
- We continued to develop the BioBytes assembly method developed by last year’s team.
- We successfully assembled an 8-Byte long construct using the BioBytes 2.0 assembly method.
- We created a model to further understand the efficiency of BioBytes 2.0.
- We created the GENOMIKON kit, which contains everything needed for genomic assembly in a high school laboratory. We have created a prototype of this kit.
- We developed a comprehensive online lab manual, GENOMIKON.ca, to accompany the GENOMIKON kit. It has such features as pre-designed experiments, encyclopedia articles, an integrated glossary, and an interactive plasmid design tool.
- We researched and developed a distribution plan, investigating the potential of bringing the GENOMIKON kit into high school classrooms.
- High school students were able to successfully create functional plasmids using the GENOMIKON kit.
