UST Collab

  • We wanted to do stochastic modelling that simulates RNA molecules and UST provided python code.

  • The professor said ODEs are better to model large amounts of RNA.

  • UST provided us the ODE python code.

  • The code allowed inputs of initial concentration of molecules, timeframe of the experiment, timestep of calculations, and outputs a graph showing concentrations of different molecules over time.

  • We modified the code to simulate the transcription, Switch-Trigger RNA dimer formation and translation process of the toehold switch, which tries to predict RFP concentration over time.

  • We tried to compare predictions with experimental results.

Collaborations

Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.

Silver Medal Criterion #2

Complete this page if you intend to compete for the silver medal criterion #2 on collaboration. Please see the 2017 Medals Page for more information.

Which other teams can we work with?

You can work with any other team in the competition, including software, hardware, high school and other tracks. You can also work with non-iGEM research groups, but they do not count towards the iGEM team collaboration silver medal criterion.

In order to meet the silver medal criteria on helping another team, you must complete this page and detail the nature of your collaboration with another iGEM team.

Here are some suggestions for projects you could work on with other teams:

  • Improve the function of another team's BioBrick Part or Device
  • Characterize another team's part
  • Debug a construct
  • Model or simulating another team's system
  • Test another team's software
  • Help build and test another team's hardware project
  • Mentor a high-school team
