It has been proved that C. elegans AWA and AWB neurons responsible for love and hate in the olfactory feelings, based on this background, our team hopes to explore the learning behavior of C. elegans through light genetic method. Using miniMos transfection, we build plasmids expressing specific photoreceptors and calmodulins in AWA and AWB. When giving excitation light in different wavelength (corresponding to different photoreceptor protein), light-sensitive proteins can receive stimuli and cause corresponding calcium ion concentration changes, indirectly influence calmodulins changing the light. Based on this assumption, we plan to use microfluidic methods to determine whether worms are capable of learning. For the odors that the C. elegans likes, we plan to use repeated AWB neuron light stimulation to see whether worms can learn the ability of dislike. So is for AWA. If we can demonstrate the ability of learning, we will further study the downstream protein pathways of AWA and AWB, trying to decipher the network of learning behaviors in the olfactory nerve.

Welcome to iGEM 2017!

Before you start:

Please read the following pages:

Styling your wiki

You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.

While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.

Wiki template information

We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the Pages for awards link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!

Editing your wiki

On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!

Use WikiTools - Edit in the black menu bar to edit this page

Tips

This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:

State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2017 calendar
Have lots of fun!

Inspiration

You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:

Uploading pictures and files

You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2017 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to
T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)
