|
|
| Tackled the problem of Neglected Tropical Diseases for the first time in the iGEM competition.
|
|
| Characterized XylE.
|
|
| Designed a software tool for protease detection and protein presentation on the surface of B. subtilis.
|
|
| Submitted a fantastic natural BioBrick Part, the LytC CWBD.
|
|
| Submitted two great novel engineered BioBrick parts; GFP-XylE and the enhanced LacI promoter.
|
|
| Characterized the operation of the new BioBrick part GFP-XylE.
|
|
| Based our specifications on modelling and human practices.
|
|
| Characterised modules in both B. subtilis and E. Coli.
|
|
| Managed to get loads of experimental measurements!
|
|
| Helped three iGEM teams (Warsaw, UNAM-Mexico and METU-Turkey) by completing their surveys.
