Formal Meeting - 27 January 2010
- Start time: 4 p.m.
- Attendance: Philip Hall, Rachel Boyd, Zoltan Balogh, Harsh Sheth, Younus Essa, Alan Koh, Steven Woodhouse, Da Ye, Jannetta, Richard, Matt, Jen and Anil
- Agenda
Summary of the last meeting
- We will need to look over past projects:
- working with B. subtilis and the
- winners and the
- rest of the projects
- Summary of last informal meeting
- B. subtilis must be in italics!
Wiki update
- Login will be changed to password protected
Ideas Brainstorm
Phil
- Arsenic sequestering or heavy metal
- Detect using fluorescence
- Last year did it/Cambridge
- Pigments... can we improve?
Zoltan
- Degrading hydrocarbons
- B. subtillis can do this already can we improve it
- Problem biofilms, we must stop the bacteria forming a biofilm
- Oil slicks
- Bacteria already do it, not as fit.
- Ethics
- Environment not contained
- Damaging to wild life, counterproductive to cleaning up the oil slick
Steven
- Removal of CO2
- Making biotechnology safer
- Kill switches
- Reducing rates of mutation
Harsh
- CO2 to isobutynol
- Cut cyclic chain, fuel instead of fat
- Spores not germinate
- Weaponised hydrocarbon spores
- Need clean burn
Alan
- Nitrogen fixation in soil
- Enhance
- Better promoter
- Nitrogenase genes
- Anaerobic
- 2009 heavy metal sequestering plus fertiliser
- Plant root, protect (fungicide), fertilise
Timeline
- Key Point on Monday
- Work backward from November
- Igem deadlines ... last years
- Personal constraints ... exam periods
- Booking flights etc
- On agenda again next week
- Project decision
6. Action points
- Security – Zoltan/Anil talk to Dan
- Start learning code - Everyone (who hasn’t already)
- Add new members to mailing list - Jen
- Send then the link to the wiki - Zoltan
- Extend Monday meeting time - Zoltan
- Project management software - Jannetta
- Aim ~ 5 projects in each area
- Tutorials - clone manager and sequentia, what is a BioBrick tutorial, modelling tutorial – need to ask Anil and Jen in advance
- Register! - Anil and Jen
- Add our own personal deadlines to the wiki - everyone
- Program to sort out who's going to go through each of the past iGEM projects – Zoltan
- Breaking up past igems, review 30 each, linking up on wiki - all
Any other business
- May need to change 5 p.m. meeting time
- More ideas all our ideas are environmental
- How many areas?- Best food/energy, Best environment, Best Health and medicine, Best manufacturing, Best new app, Best information processing, Best software tool
- We should have a standing agenda
- We need to start characterising early on
- What is a bio brick?
- Chunk of DNA
- Defined start / end
- Easily connected
- No scars
- Same restriction sites
- Cut ends not middle
- Like Lego bricks
