Australian iGEM Meet Up

Thanks to the kind efforts of the University of New South Wales iGEM team, we met at the university with other iGEM teams from UNSW and Macquarie and exchanged ideas and collaborated by listening to the progress of each team. Ideas were exchanged and teams exchanged things they could do for each other to help with either research or the outreach efforts. We were then treated with a good old Aussie BBQ and drinks and got to know each other better. We would like to thank UNSW iGEM 2015 again for organising the meet up and treating us with great food.

Eindhoven, Netherlands: Golden Gate Collaboration

We contributed to the Eindhoven cloning guide through submitting information on Golden Gate Cloning. This was a valuable experience as it allowed us to collaborate with other teams using the same protocol and share our knowledge. We are confident that guide Eindhoven creates will be extremely useful, of an exceptionally high quality, and invaluable to future iGEM teams. You can see a summarised version of our Golden Gate contribution here.

ParisBettencourt, France: Rhizi platform

We, along with numerous other iGEM teams utilised Paris Bettencourt's Rhizi platform. This was extremly useful in finding other team working on similar projects or using similar techniques. We are thankful to the Bettencourt team for creating this platform and are sure it will be incredibly beneficial to future iGEM teams.

Uppsala, Sweden: Exchange of plasmids

We exchanged plasmids with the Uppsala Team. The Uppsala Team send us fluorescent chromoproteins and we sent them a plasmid expressing Phusion DNA polymerase. We used the chromoproteins to create an Agar Plate Gallery which was extremely useful in outreach activities.

Macquarie University, Australia: Contribution to "So you think you can synthesise"

We were featued in Episode Three of "So you think you can synthesise", where we transformed the Green Flourescent Protein and our results were compared to that of Oxford, BirkBeck, and Linkoping teams. You can watch the full episode here.
