Fight the Blight
Project Overview
We are the 2015 National Yang Ming University iGEM team from Taiwan. iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) is an international synthetic biology competition hosted by the iGEM Foundation where renowned universities around the world participate. All iGEM teams concretize their creative ideas with synthetic biology and realize their concepts using scientific methods. NYMU has taken part in iGEM since 2007 and has been constantly rewarded for outstanding performances.
This year, we shifted our focus to disease problems of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), one of the world’s major grain crops. We hope to establish a well-rounded defense system via transformed microbes with synthetic biology techniques to reduce the prevalence of the potato late blight disease, a consequence of water mold (Phytophthora infestans) infection. Given the 2012 North Carolina, US and the recent Zhangjiakou, China outbreaks, we fervently hope to first construct the biological defense system in our local main producing origins of potatoes, Taichung City and Yunlin County, Taiwan. We seek to not only secure the supply of our food sources, but also to help farmers ride through the predicament.

This wiki is under construction
Before you start:
Please read the following pages:
Styling your wiki
You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.
While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.
Editing your wiki
On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!
See tips on how to edit your wiki on the Template Documentation page.
Templates
This year we have created templates for teams to use freely. More information on how to use and edit the templates can be found on the Template Documentation page.
Tips
This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:
- State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
- Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
- You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
- Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
- Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
- Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2015 calendar
- Have lots of fun!
Uploading pictures and files
You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2015 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)
