Attributions

All the work was done by students : wiki design , fundraising , policy and practices as all the cakes shown on social networks. The iGEM Bordeaux team created the Cur’d Vine project thanks to the original idea of Marie CECILLE, member of our team, who proposed to work on Downy Mildew since the beginning of team brainstorming sessions. We then divided the team in groups in order to work at the same time on different topics and read a large panel of publications. Most of figures on the wiki were made by Emilie GOUNIN,member of our team, during incubation times.
During the internship, all of the designs, constructs, and experiments were made by us but the synthesis of DNA was made by IDT technologies. Our protocols are based on many publications (all cited in each protocols files) or generously given by our host lab. Between June to August, nine students stayed at lab and worked on two specified studies; one on bacteria and one on yeast.

- On yeast work, Derek McCUSKER, PhD Group Leader, CNRSIBGC - UMR 5095 (CNRS-UBS) helped us by explaining the homologous repair to express the FKS1 gene and on the design of primers for this gene.
- Denis DUPUY PhD Group Leader of INSERM/Université Bordeaux Segalen (U869); ARN: Régulations naturelle et artificielle" (ARNA) ; our supervisor ; led us for the Gibson chew back assembly technique
- Jonathan MILLET, Denis DUPUY’s PhD student, gave us some advices for PCR troubleshooting.
- On bacteria work, Camila PARROT member of INSERM / Université Bordeaux Segalen (Unit 869) NA: Natural and Artificial Regulation” (ARNA) led by Martin TEICHMANN, helped to optimize our purification of curdlan.
- Lionel BEAUREPAIRE, INSERM engineer, gave many advices on clonage.
- On Plant tests Anthony Bellee member of INRA/ (unit SAVE) Michel Hernould researcher at INRA for all the precious devices.
- Concerning our wiki, it was based on Evry's 2014 team wiki. We decided to adapt their code for our wiki. We also received a great help of Nacim BENALI, student in informatics, for the design of the wiki.
- The comics were designed by Caroline GAGNANT, one of our classmates.
- On Ethics section, M. Jacques FAUCHER’s interview helped us to understand the utility of ethics committees.

Aknowlegments

During our entire project, many people helped us to accomplish our project Cur’d Vine. First, we want to thank the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology for hosting us all the year and during our internships. Denis DUPUY, our supervisor who gives us many judicious advices and Jonathan MILLET who succeeded to coexist with many team members of iGEM Bordeaux during all this summer.

Our team had to use several machines which not belong to our lab. That’s why we had to collaborate many times with the neighbor labs. We hope that they enjoyed our cake as gift. ;)
Thanks to:
- Aurore DE RACHE, Amina BEDRAT, Nassima GUEDDOUDA and Oscar MENDOZA from Jean-Louis Mergny’s Group to lend us their spectrophometer, their NanoDrop instruments and their Fluorescence Reader.
- Martin TEICHMANN's group to lend us incubators and the pHmeter
- Natacha PEREBASKINE from Axel INNIS’ group, for the safety formation and for the lending of their Nanodrop instruments
- Myriam MEDERIC for her hard work
- Camila PARROT for her daily support

Moreover, we want to thank Didier THORAVAL, teacher and researcher of "Laboratoire de Biogenèse Membranaire" gave us many resources for our work on yeast. Without this help, yeast work will never start. Also, we are grateful that M. McIntosh helped us by answering to our questions on Curdlan.

At the end, thanks to all other people who supported our project on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Youtube). Your interest had always touched us and we hope that we will support again for 2016 iGEM competition!
