Achievements
We have:
Had a fantastic summer, learnt loads and formed new friendships.
Run a series of Synthetic Biology School Workshops, and provided a toolkit for others teams follow suit.
Submitted 23 documented parts to the registry.
Developed integration vectors for BioBrick parts and devices which allow integration of cassettes into the B. subtilis genome, resulting in disription of essential genes. Dif excision allows removal of 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).
Submitted new coding regions for the histidine kinase ComD (K316015) and its response regulator ComE (K316016).
Shown that the novel engineered BioBrick part, GFP-XylE (BBa_K316007) works as expected.
Submitted a very useful, modular and natural BioBrick Part, the LytC CWBD.
Designed a software tool for protease detection and protein presentation on the surface of B. subtilis.
Explored the 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
Based our specifications on modelling and human practices.
Managed to get loads of experimental results!
Helped other iGEM teams (including Warsaw, UNAM-Mexico and METU-Turkey) by completing their surveys.
Completed the whole iteration through the engineering design cycle for each module of our system.
Explored the production and implementation considerations that we thought might be important in the manufacture of Parasight as a viable product.
Investigated the safety implications of the project as a whole.
