Introduction
Our project this year continues the work of last year’s HKU iGEM 2016 Team. By focusing on the intriguing world of diagnostic probes, we aim to improve on last year’s design and increase the effectiveness of disease detection. Contrary to last year’s design, we have come up with an alternative tetrahedron structure, in which the 3D tetrahedron is only formed upon binding to the target sequence. Our ultimate goal is to enable our functional DNA nanostructure to be synthesized and self-assembled inside E. coli. They will detect specific biomarkers expressed in the diseased cells. This website will guide you on our journey throughout the iGEM Competition 2017. Click to explore and enjoy!
