After determining our engineering goals and aims for this year's competition. Our team needed to do background research into quorum sensing to familiarize ourselves with the terminology going to be used for this competition. In addition to this, our team needed to reaffirm the 2016 ASU iGEM team's data collected from last year before going any further with designing our project. While confirming last year's team data, we discovered a major flaw in their design process of the receivers. These receivers were showed poor expression and only a select few were good enough to characterize. In addition to this, the system these receivers were cloned into did not show a good cloning ratio. In fact, it was very difficult to clone these receivers. After this, we realized we need to re-evaluate these receivers to determine whether it was the system we were cloning them in was bad, or the receivers themselves that needed to be redesigned.

In addition to this, our team needed to reaffirm the 2016 ASU iGEM team's data collected from last year before going any further with designing our project. While confirming last year's team data, we discovered a major flaws while running their protocols. These receivers were showed poor expression and only a select few were good enough to characterize.

<p> Describe what each of the bio-bricks used during the design. In addition, tell the bio-brick parts of the senders use. Also the picture of the sender vector. Modular center vector on benchling.

<p> In our receiver design, there a multitude of parts attained that are already Bio-Brick verified. The table below shows the various parts from the BioBrick database used in our design. Promoters, ribosomal binding sites, terminators and green fluorescent protein were chosen. In addition to this information, the reason and description of how each works in our system is described.
