This year, IGEM Bordeaux restart again with C.elegans for new adventures and a new team composed by 17 students. We worked together through the year to realize our project and everyone contributed by doing specific works. We divided the group in three. One for the scientific part and laboratory experiments, a second for the informatic part of our project and a last for all sides.
First, we want to thank the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology for hosting us all the year for our interships and meetings.
We would like to thank the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology (IECB) for
hosting us and supporting us all the year for our interships and meetings.
In this Institute, many professionals used to advise us during our internships and to lend us
machines to work on our project. Thank you to:
- Florian Bernard, Phd student in Denis Dupuy’s team, for all his advises and all the time he took to explain us how to operate in a laboratory. We would like to add special thanks for his good mood and jokes.
- Axel Innis's group, for lending us their NanoDrop instrument.
- Lionel Beaurepaire and Myriam Mederic, from the IECB's technology platform in preparative and analytical techniques. They gave us encouragements all along the internships and lend us their thermocycler.
- Natacha Perebaskine from Axel Innis’ group,for telling us how to behave in the lab and in the institute in case of accident and for all the safety information she gave us.
- Esther MARZA, lecturer in the University of Bordeaux and member of Rémi Fronzes team, for allowing us to take part in the « Fête de la Science » workshops in order to make children discover a little bit of science.
Protocols
Jean Descarpentrie supervised and gave many advices on the injection of our different genetic constructions and on the lab work.
Marie Didelon, Estelle Lesbros, Julia Gaboriaud, Miriam Amara and Guillaume Beucher designed all the DNA primers and several approachs for the realization of the lab work.
Labwork
Marguerire Batsale worked during June.
Estelle Lesbros and Guillaume Beucher worked during July.
Marguerite Batsale, Estelle Lesbros, Nancy Randria and Guillaume Beucher worked during August.
Bioinformatics
Pierre Ortalo & Thomas Maucourt & Gary Bouchentouf worked on the RNA-Seq pipeline from May to October.
Wiki
Christian Té and Rémy Viannais worked on the conception of the wiki page.
Marguerite Batsale worked on the texts of the Integrated Human Practices part.
Gary Bouchentouf, Thomas Maucourt and Pierre Ortalo wrote the entire bioinformatic part.
Estelle Lesbros and Rémy Viannais wrote the team part.
Julien Benetti read many times the wiki to correct mistakes.
Alexandre Bosdonnat worked on the Poster and many articles.
Marguerite Batsale, Guillaume Beucher, Marie Didelon, Julia Gaboriau and Estelle Lesbros worked on the description of our project and wrote the text together.
Sponsoring and communication
Marguerite Batsale and Gary Bouchentouf looked for money in order to make laboratory experiment and let the team going to Boston.
Alexandre Bosdonnat and Rémy Viannais worked on the first poster for the different events in which we have participated during this year.
Special thanks to Amélie Laporte for the design of our logo and Savandara Besse for her help on the sponsoring folder.
