#1: We successfully registered for the competition, had an awesome summer and will proudly attended the Giant Jamboree!
#2: All the required competition deliverables were met in time for the due dates:
#3: We created an Attribution page entirely designed to thank all the people that helped throughout our adventure
#4: We successfully characterised the existing part BBa_J04450, an RFP coding device, in a new iGEM chassis: Vibrio harveyi. Characterisation was made thanks to Petri dish plating and microscopic fluorescence observations.
#1: Out of 17 Parts, we obtained 7 BioBricks by inserting them in pSB1C3. We successfully validated 2 of them: BBa_K2278001 and BBa_K2278021. Validations were respectively made thanks to bioluminescence essays and halos tests on Petri dishes.
#2: We are proud of all of the collaborations we made with teams around the world:
#3: We carried out an ethical reflexion throughout all of our project, doing bibliographical research and meeting professionals and members of NGOs. Our major discussions and decisions are listed in our Human Practices Logbook.
#1: Our ethical reflexion went even further with the elaboration of 7 ethical matrices. Each matrix was a representation of our personal reflection on one key step of a water treatment product lifecycle. The outcomes of each matrix was carefully integrated in our project and could reshape part of it if needed.
#2: Modeling was a big part of our project, unavoidable considering the synthetic interactions of our three chassis. After building a standardized representation of all the genetic and molecular actors involved in communications, the challenge was to verify and simulate the functioning of our system through Ordinary Differential Equations. Then, sensitivity and robustness was analyzed thanks to Metabolic Control Analysis. Finally, a user-friendly interface was created for people non familiarized with ODEs.
