July

During July, the whole team reviewed the literature. We theoretically constructed the plasmid and searched quantification methods for specific proteins. The wet lab started with the knock-out of genes for the development of the right strains and the first mathematical models were made. We want to keep everybody updated about our work by using social media and developing the wiki. Education and events for collaboration between different iGEM-teams were planned. Also practical arrangements for the stay during the Giant Jamboree were made. At the 21st of July, we held a meet-up with the iGEM team of Toulouse to discuss our projects.
