We are proud to say that all the ideas we worked on this year were proposed by undergraduate members of our team Tokyo Tech 2015. We also want to thank all those advisors and instructors who helped us discuss these ideas and guided us through doing the experiments. The whole experimental data produced by our team comes from experiments all carried out by undergraduates.The project "Prisoner’s Dilemma" was proposed by Koji Abe. Modeling related to this project was done by Emi Fuse.

Contribution

General support

Prof. Kiga let us use his lab for all of our experiments. He has also led many Tokyo Tech teams to excellent results in past iGEM competitions too.
  Prof. Yamamura and Prof. Konagaya supported us in many ways to give us a better researching life.
  Prof. Ayukawa gave us great and helpful advice for all of our experiments throughout the preparations for iGEM.
  Prof. Nakashima provided us AJW678 and gave us an advice on experimental skills.
  Promega and Leave a Nest gave us several restriction enzymes used in our experiment at no charge.

Instrumental Analysis Support

Biomaterial Analysis Center, Technical Department, checked the sequence of the plasmids which we asked.

Policy and Practice Support

Maiko Tajima, who is working for WPI-ELSI. Shinichiro Hisatomi and Keiko Sato are the teachers of the Chienkan High School. They gave us a chance to communicate with high school students.
  Prof. Kiga, gave us a lecture on synthetic biology, and motivated us to join iGEM.
  Bio Creative Staff (BCS), which is a club consisting of students belonging to the Tokyo Institute of Technology Bioscience and Biotechnology Department, cooperated with our Policy and Practice (Dilemma game).

And last but not least

We would like to thank all the people who came to our progress presentations and gave us useful feedbacks.
  Professors: Robert F. Whittier, Nobutaka Nakashima, Hisakazu Mihara, Masaaki Wachi, Takashi Hirasawa, Yasunori Aizawa, Hiroyuki Ohta, Satoshi Nakamura, Toshiaki Fukui
