Collaboration with iGEM Teams

In our vision iGEM is all about working together. Thanks to so much work done by others, the iGEM competition and the Registry exists.

We shared all our plans, data and results right from the start. Once all projects descriptions were available, we contacted all teams with similar plans. For example the TzhuChiU Formosa creating a similair oil degrading pathway, Tokyo NoKoGen concerning the emulsifier they were implementing and Warsaw for cooperation on the Anderson RBS Family characterization. Dispite our efforts to contact them and arrange this, it did not lead to concrete collaboration.

Fortunately we could work together with the following to teams:

Groningen

This year Team Groningen traveled all the way to Delft to come and visit one of our professors working in their field of interest. Of course we seized the opportunity to meet up and make plans for cooperation.

Sheffield

A survey was conducted among iGEM Teams by the Team Sheffield. The interviews focused on the roles and identities of synthetic biologists. Since iGEM has grown to such a big community, we think the outcome of this research will be interesting and really significant. We were happy to help!

Wiki 'testing'

A lot have teams have copied our source code. Thereby they ensured us that our code was of high quality and working perfectly! Thanks to:

• Groningen
• Tec-Monterrey
• St Andrews
• KAIST
• Brown
• Cambridge
• Gothenburg
• KIT-Kyoto
