Design for New Receivers

During the first steps of the design process, our iGEM team discussed what engineering aims our project wanted to achieve. It was an important first step in determining the goals for our research. We based our engineering aims on Endy's "Foundations for engineering biology," from 2005.

Engineering Aims for ASU iGEM 2017
  • Extending the natural function spectrum and expression of new genes
  • In vitro evolution- biological regulation on a genetic and biochemical level
  • Genetic circuit construction for Quorum Sensing
  • Creating a quorum sensing system and chassis
  • Endy, Drew. "Foundations for engineering biology." Nature 438.7067 (2005): 449

This page is different to the "Applied Design Award" page. Please see the Applied Design page for more information on how to compete for that award.

What should this page contain?
  • Explanation of the engineering principles your team used in your design
  • Discussion of the design iterations your team went through
  • Experimental plan to test your designs
