Integrated Human Practices

Throughout our project we got advice and support by over thirty experts that influenced our work very much. We organized a conference about the expansion of the genetic code and wrote a report about the chances and implications of an expanded genetic code. See all the human practices we integrated into our project here.

Improve a previous part or project

We improved

Model your project

We modeled some protein sequences for our synthetases to incorporate the new noncanonical amino acid CBT-asparagine and 2-nitrophenylalanine.

Demonstrate your work

We were able to integrate and detect the unnatural bases in the DNA sequences by software modification of nanopore sequencing. We also expanded the genetic code by providing a toolkit of some evolved synthetases. These are able to incorporate noncanonical amino acids into any kind of protein and proof their functionality.

Validated Part / Validated Contribution

In our project we used and created a lot of different parts. We are especially proud of our part XX that worked just as expected and was well characterized and validated by us.

Collaboration

Throughout our project we collaborated with many iGEM Teams to improve our work and help other. Especially our mentoring of the new iGEM team Unifi and the exchange of some parts with the CU Bolder team was very important for us.

Human Practices

During the last months we had a lot of interactions with the public trying to convey the aspects of our work and project. For example we worked with pupils at the GENIALE or our yearly pupil’s academy and organized a literature workshop about synthetic biology. We had appearances at the radio, created a little biotechnology quiz show for a student initiative and even wrote a biosafety report. All our human practices are collected here.

Register and attend

We registered for the competition in March and are proud to be able to attend the Giant Jamboree. We will without doubt have a lot of fun!

Deliverables

We have met all the required deliverables as you can see in our team wiki, our project attribution, our team poster, our presentation on the XX, our safety and judging forms, our part page and our submitted samples.

Attribution

We created an Attribution site where we listed and thanked all the people who supported us with advice and material throughout our project. If not mentioned specificially we have done the work ourselfs and the results are due to our own work.
