Locally-hosted documentation

Since it is a requirement, we present here an overview of our collaborations with other iGEM teams.


Edinburgh

The Illuminati connection proved to be an effective bridge. Parts, ideas, and experiences were exchanged.


Shipments:Sharing Parts

From Edinburgh to Mexico

May 2010

The Edinburgh’s advisor, Dr. Chris, kindly sent us LuxAB and LuxCDE PCR products and a plasmid containing the YFP protein:Lumazine.

October 2010

Dr.Chris sent us a secondhttps://2010.igem.org/wiki/skins/common/images/button_bold.png shipment consisting of the following parts:

Plasmids with luxAB genes, lumP gene encoding lumazine protein, luxAB and lumP ligated, luxCDE encoding substrate synthesis system for bacterial luciferase (XbaI site removed by mutation), BBa_K098101 (phycobilin synthesis genes with terminator),BBa_K098010 (phycobilin synthesis genes but with terminator removed), BBa_K191004 (RFP reporter plasmid for LOV-Tap blue light sensor), cph8 red light sensor derived from BBa_M30109.

From Mexico to Edinburgh

September 2010

We share with Edinburh team principally our synthesised parts, we sent them PCR amplified products containing green light photosensor CcaS and CcaR response regulator, blue light photosensor LovTAP and YFP protein from the Mr. Gene plasmids. As well we sent them a plasmid with our blue light reduced inducible promoter, a PCR amplified product containing light emitting luciferase genes LuxAB from Vibrio Fischeri and LovTAP ligated to four constitutive promoters: J23102,J23105, J23114 and J23117.

Cambridge

The Cambridge collaboration was mostly one-way. They've really helped us with parts we were unable to obtain.


UNAM-Cinvestav

This collaboration with our "brother" team on the main campus consists of Modelling aiding.


Full documentation

The full documentation on each collaboration is documented in other servers.


Edinburgh

Our team has recently established contact with Edinburgh's Illuminati team. Given that both projects are strikingly similar, and the good-natured collaboration between both teams, we decided to work together. Thus BRIDGING with people!

The following [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:UNAM-Genomics_Mexico/2009/Notebook/Collaborations Collaborations Log] will attempt to document the progress and facilitate communication between these teams.


Cambridge

Likewise, we are also working with the Cambridge team. Since they are interested in maximizing bioluminescent reactions, we are quite interested in their work ;) That collaboration is documented [http://openwetware.org/wiki/IGEM:UNAM-Genomics_Mexico/2009/Notebook/Collaborations.Cambridge here].


UNAM-Cinvestav

Model oriented stuff. Work still in progress...

iGEM

iGEM is the International Genetically Engineered Machines Competition, held each year at MIT and organized with support of the Parts Registry. See more here.

Synthetic Biology

This is defined as attempting to manipulate living objects as if they were man-made machines, specifically in terms of genetic engineering. See more here.

Genomics

We are students on the Genomic Sciences program at the Center for Genomic Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, campus Morelos. See more here.
