Project

Learn more about our project

What is our project about? What is the idea behind our project? This page is a good starting point if you are interested in our project and want to learn more about it.

Software

Build your own network

To demonstrate our vision about Biobrick networks, we developed a software, that enables you to interconnect Biobricks of your choice to your personal network. It will generate a DNA sequence that encodes all your logical connections. Just give it a try!

Modeling

Understand our RNA devices

On this page we show how we analyzed and estimated the switching process of our RNA devices. This is a basic requirement for the creation of better RNA devices.

Lab

Learn more about our experiments

This page provides an overview as well as detailed information about the experiments and measurements we performed. Protocols as well as our daily lab book will clarify any question about our lab proceedings.

BioBricks

Our contribution to the registry

Our project required the analysis and modification of existing Biobricks from the part registry as well as the creation of new Biobricks. This page contains more information about these steps.

Team

Get to know us

Who are we? Where are we from? What do we do in our spare time? Here you can find the answers to all these questions.

Glossary

Get the meaning of a term

To understand our project description more easily, we put together a list of terms that might be unknown or forgotten. Here you will find explanations concerning these terms.

Partners & Press

Thanks a lot to our supporters

This project would not have been possible without the help and support of various people, institutions and companies. We want to say thank you to all of them!

Beyond the Lab

iGEM is more than biology

The iGEM competition not only aims to drive the development of new Biobricks. It also encourages to think about responsibilities, safety and risks in the field of biotechnology. Furthermore, iGEM is about working together and helping other teams in various aspects. Read more how we want to contribute to these goals.

	Don't take your E. coli everywhere - they might smell bad.
	Don't put your E. coli on your sophisticated laser apparatus - you might regret it and it might smell bad.
	Don't put your E. coli to close to your Millipore ion exchanger - the water quality might suffer.
	Don't vortex your E. coli cells too hard - they might puke and this is not nice...
	Don't spill your E. coli cells everwhere - keep your stuff clean!
	If you put your E. coli cells into a fluorimeter and try to repeat our in vivo measurements and then wonder why they don't work - well may be crossed the OD600 of 0.05.
	If you don't understand why you only measure noise and ask your E. coli - most likely it won't tell you anything new...
	Colony PCR!
	Again, don't spill everywhere.
	In the end of the day, enjoy your beer. Don't let E. coli get into your way...

The E. coli cell in use was a kind gift of Melissa Poynor from the Biochemistry Department of the TU Munich, who took a pity in poor Biochemists being deplaced into the world of Biophysics. The cell itself was grown by [http://www.riesenmikroben.de/ RIESENmikroben TM]. No E. coli cells were harmed during the shooting of these photos. Some were harmed during our labwork...
