University of Virginia iGEM 2015

iGEM Collaboration

This year we worked closely with the Vanderbilt iGEM team and the Rockridge High School iGEM team.

The Vanderbilt team has asked us to take some fluorescence readings and help them fine tune and prepare for the policy and practices portion of the iGEM competition. To help us, they have offered to cater their kill switch project to make it suitable for our BioBrick. In time, we could add their time dependent kill switch as a backup to our concentration dependent kill switch, SacB (BBa_322921).

The Rockridge team is brand new and therefore lacked the funding and support other teams enjoy. We kept in communication with them and did our best to answer the sort of questions that past team members might have been able to help them with. We also supplied them with some BL21 competent cells.
