Achievements | ||
We have: | ||
Had a fantastic summer, learnt loads and formed new friendships. | ||
Run a series of Synthetic Biology School Workshops, and provided tools for others to follow suit. | ||
Submitted 23 documented parts to the registry. | ||
Contributed the PyrD and AmyE vectors to the registry and have used Dif excision to remove antibiotic resistance genes from our cassettes. | ||
Tackled the problem of Neglected Tropical Diseases for the first time in the iGEM competition. | ||
Extensively characterized the existing BioBrick part, 'XylE reporter gene with RBS (BBa_J33204). | ||

Designed a software tool for protease detection and protein presentation on the surface of B. subtilis. | ||
Submitted a very useful, modular and natural BioBrick Part, the LytC CWBD. | ||
Shown that the novel engineered BioBrick part, GFP-XylE (BBa_K316007) works as expected. | ||
Developed integration vectors for BioBrick parts and devices which can allow integration of various cassettes into the B. subtilis genome, allowing disription of essential genes. | ||
Based our specifications on modelling and human practices. | ||
Explored the https://2010.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London/Human_Practices Human Practices] aspects of our project including the ethical, social, environmental, economic and political implications of our detection kit including the setting in which it would be | ||
Managed to get loads of experimental results! | ||
Helped other iGEM teams (including Warsaw, UNAM-Mexico and METU-Turkey) by completing their surveys. | ||
Based our design specifications on computer modelling, which enabled us to decide which ideas should be implemented in our design. | ||
Completed the whole iteration through the engineering cycle for each module of our system. | ||
Explored the Manufacturing Considerations that we thought important to manufacture Parasight as a viable product. | ||
Investigated the safety implications of the project as a whole. |
