Over the course of the 2017 iGEM season, we have had some downs, but many more ups.Project Achievements
Successes- Developed a pipeline to identify, or "mine", the porcupine metagenomic sequencing to discover novel enzymes.
- Identified 8? novel enzymes with variable percent identity.
- Synthesized 5 of those enzymes, and successfully cloned 4 of them into psB1AK3.
- Optimized our previous biobrick Endoglucanse(BBa_K2160000)by adding a C termincal HIS-tag and N terminal PelB sequence (Improve).
- Successfully completed a fluorophore cleavage assay from the Hallam lab.
- Isolated high molecular weight DNA from porcupine fecal samples.
- Obtained efficient ligation and digestion with pJC8 controls.
- Produced phage plaque with the phage packaging extract lamba DNA controls.
