PROJECT The 2010 University of Edinburgh iGEM team applies the concept of building bridges throughout our project in many different ways: ideas into reality through the development of a markerless alternative for BioBrick insertion, communication between bacteria by pairing BioBricks that sense and produce light, and disciplines and individuals via different ways of thinking. |
"The engineering equivalent of Genetic Engineering is to get a bunch of concrete and steel, throw it into a river, and if you can walk across it, call it a bridge." - Simon Munnery, comedian. Synthetic biology in general, and iGEM in particular, has long attempted to refine this process of "bridge-building". iGEM participants attempt to pave the way for future endeavours - the possibilities of building bridges instead of simply stumbling across them by chance, of using standardised bricks instead of having to quarry and hew individual stones, and of developing innovative new ways of creating bridges from scratch. The question is... how do you think? |

  An introduction to the team, their advisors and supervisors, the University of Edinburgh, and how they spent their summer. |
  The BRIDGE protocol is a markerless alternative for BioBrick insertion, which will bridge ideas and innovation in synthetic biology into reality. |
  Bacterial BRIDGEs aim to foster non-chemical means of communication between E.coli by pairing light-producing and light-sensing BioBricks. |
  Stochastic rule-based modelling of the various biological BRIDGEs provides greater insight into and understanding of cellular mechanisms. |
 |
  Human BRIDGEs examine synthetic biology as ways of thinking and the permeation of human aspects within, bridging the so-called 'divides' between disciplines and individuals. |
