From planning, researching and programming to fundraising, human practices and, of course, wetlab work, the iGEM competition is a huge (and rewarding) challenge that pushes students to hone their skills and learn new ones. As we are a team with a diverse background, we divided tasks to best match our member's experience and interests. Sometimes, that meant doing what we do best; other times, it meant learning something new. When difficulties arose, we turn to a supervisors for help and guidance. Here, we would like to creit our team member's for the specific roles they playing into making CascAID and to thank our supervisors and external help for their important contributions to our project.

Molecular cloning

Due to our background, most of us had experience in molecular cloning and after patiently explaining our physicist Katzi what a plasmid was (among other things) we were capable of doing all the cloning ourselves. Almost every member of our team helped with the cloning in some way, but most of the work for the Cas13a expression strains of E. coli came from the hands of Ludwig and Christoph. The cloning of our biobricks was done by Rob and Max, who also cloned the constructs needed in the Intein-Extein read-out. Florian and Christoph teamed up to make the parts necessary for the AeBlue read-out. Gene and primers design was done by those responsible for the cloning and proofed by our supervisor Aurore
