<p>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: </p>
+
−
<ul>
+
−
<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
+
−
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
+
−
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>

<h5> Uploading pictures and files </h5>
+
−
<p> 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. <br />
+
−
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <br><code>T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg</code>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)<br><br>

DIHM Assisted Co-culture Optimisation

QWACC: a Quicker Way to Analyse Co-Cultures

Contact us: igemyork@gmail.com

Biology

Genetically engineering C. reinhardtii and E. coli in order to form a co-culture with industrial potentials.

Hardware

Using optical diffraction to create and probe 3D images through holography in order to monitor co-cultures.

Software

Cell counting and analysis using holograms formed from images taken with our hardware.


The Project


Upon being asked to find the number of microorganisms in a given sample, the response from members of our iGEM team has invariably been a long sigh and a plea to the realms of the supernatural.

That most human quality - laziness - alongside flaws in traditional techniques, which we will revisit below, has led to us designing a potential solution in the form of a Digital Inline Holographic Microscope (DIHM).

In particular, we discovered that, when studying co-cultures, there are precious few methods of counting cells that are accurate, fast, cheap and non-destructive.

We decided, therefore, to try to bring together two promising areas of science in this project:
Digital Holographic Microscopy and Co-Culturing.


Our Work

To easily find our achievements with respect to the iGEM 2017 competition, please see our Achievements page for a list of direct links.


  • ABOUT US
  • We are an overgraduate team representing the University of York.
  • Our Quicker Way to Analyse Co-Cultures (QWACC) is our entry into the Hardware track for iGEM 2017.
