Collaboration with Yale University’s iGEM Team

 

During the summer, we received a request from Yale University to collaborate with them on their research to develop a robust platform for porting multiplex automated genome engineering (MAGE) and other genetic manipulation techniques for non-model prokaryotic organisms. Our work with Gilliamella apicola and Snodgrassella alvi prompted Yale University’s iGEM team to contact us regarding our experience culturing and working with these non-model strains of bacteria.

Our collaboration involved providing information on the extent of our work with non-model organisms. Yale University’s iGEM team was pursuing information regarding our choice of strain, growth conditions, transformation, selection, and genetic manipulation of S. alvi and G. apicola.

Yale University’s iGEM team hoped that the eventual outcome of our collaboration, in combination with input from other iGEM teams, could be a versatile “handbook” of considerations for future iGEM teams that are beginning research in non-model organisms. So far, they have synthesized the data collected into a handout that will be circulated to the teams attending the 2015 Giant Jamboree. Our contributions are acknowledged on the back of the handout and also linked in Yale University’s iGEM wiki collaborations page.
