Medal requirements

Bronze

We have registered a iGEM team, had an awesome summer in the lab, and we will attend the Jamboree.

We have completed the judging form.

We have uploaded a description of our project on this wiki-page and we have registered our BioBricks, Ssb, pTPI1, RecA, Ste2Mam2, and pTEF1pSUC2 by using Registry of Standard Biological Parts.

You can come and visit us by our nice poster at the Jamboree and come and hear our presentation on the 25th.

We have a page on the wiki where we have writhe down all of our attributions.

We have documented the following new parts that has been used in our project: Ssb, pTPI1, RecA, Ste2Mam2, PprA and pTEF1pSUC2.

Silver

We have characterized two of our registered BioBricks: Ste2Mam2 and pTEF1pSUC2.

Ste2Mam2 and pTEF1pSUC2 has both been registered in the iGEM Part Registry.

We believe that the Human Practice part is really important. We have done work with both safety, ethics and in different areas for reaching out to the public. You can read all about it on the pages Safety and Human Practices.

Gold

We have done something extra special and new for our Human Practices. We decided that it is important that everyone can find information about scientific topics with an easier language. We have therefore translated and extended articles at Wikipedia which is a very important source for information.

We have during all summer been having a collaboration with the team Czech Republic. It’s their first year in iGEM so we have been helping them with some startups and where to find information and the free DNA starting kit. We have also shared some of our Human Practices and modeling work with them.

We have improved the function of RecA by codon optimizing it for yeast. Previously only codon optimized for bacteria.We have also improved the pSUC2 promotor in our fused promotor Ptef1pSUC2, the promotor is still regulated by sugar but now has a higher promotor strength.
