TEAM ALBERTA

Here are our key achievements from the summer. For more, see the achievements page.

  • We completed the gold medal requirements for iGEM.
  • We continued to develop the BioBytes assembly method developed by last year’s team.
  • We successfully assemble an 8-Bytes long construct using our BioBytes 2.0 system.
  • We created a model to further understand the efficiency of BioBytes 2.0.
  • We sourced the tools, reagents and materials that would be required to make our kit almost entirely self contained and created a prototype of the GENOMIKON educational kit.
  • We created a set of experiments designed to teach the student how to use the kit, as well as various topics from the high school biology curriculum.
  • We developed a software tool to accompany the lab kit.
  • We researched and developed a business plan investigating the potential of bringing the GENOMIKON kit into high school classrooms.
  • We tested the ability to multiplex BioByte constructs into larger constructs.
  • We had high school students, seen on the right, successfully create and transform a plasmid created using GENOMIKON.
