<li>Christian Euler - provided the sequence for LacILOV, pKDL071 plasmid, design help, troubleshooting assistance, Troubleshooting help and equipment training</li>
<p>All the biological materials were handled in open bench areas. Escherichia coli (E.coli) was the chassis organism used in our study, which is exempt from the requirements of the NIH Guidelines<sup><a href="#ref3">[3]</a></sup>, as a risk group 1 organism<sup><a href="#ref4">[4]</a></sup> . We fused the protein binding domain of LacI (from E.coli) and the light oxygen voltage domain (LOV) of Avena sativa.</p>

<li>Ruhi Choudhary</li>
<p>We used a <span class="text-red">CI repressor</span> protein from Escherichia phage lambda in our switch. This sequence was obtained from a peer-reviewed article and has no indication of hazardous impact on eukaryotic cell lines.</p>

<li>Kevin Correira - Gave us our nickname (wolf pack)</li>
<p>The anti-CRISPR protein, <span class="text-red">AcrIIA4</span>, was obtained from Listeria monocytogenes prophages (risk group 1). The protein has been expressed in both bacterial and human cell lines in literature with no measurable toxicity.</p>

<p>The anti-microbial resistance factors in our project were <span class="text-red">Standard Kanamycin</span> and <span class="text-red">Chloramphenicol</span> resistance casettes, which are commonly used in research and pose little health risk.</p>

<li>Kayla Nemr</li>
<p>Our engineered system does not have any risk to humans or the environment since our <span class="text-red">Cas9</span> protein only targets metabolic genes like <span class="text-red">araC</span> in E.Coli as well as reporter genes like <span class="text-red">GFP</span> or <span class="text-red">mCherry</span>. Standard decontamination and containment through thermal sterilization and certified waste disposal would also mitigate any potential release in the environment.</p>

<h2>Human Practices</h2>
 
<h2>Human Practices</h2>
<p>In terms of future applications, temporal control of Cas9 activity through our switch could reduce off-target edits and increase the fidelity of genomic integrations through homology-directed repair, which should improve the safety of this technology. Although, from an ethical standpoint, there are several key shareholders including patients, medical practitioners and legislative and executive agencies that could be impacted by human gene editing. Thus, we conducted a systematic analysis of the considerations of each of those groups through interviews and a collaborative podcast series.</p>
