Achievements

Bronze Medal

We have registered our iGEM Team, had a great summer and plan to have a great time at the Giant Jamboree.
We have completed and submitted our Judging Form.
We have created and shared a description of our project using our Wiki and our parts using the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.
We will be presenting a poster and will be holding a talk at the Giant Jamboree.
We have documented our Attributions and have given short descriptions of the roles of our Team Members.
We have documented four new BioBricks. One example is: BBa_K1761001.

We have experimentally validated four of our BioBricks. In addition to the first part described under the Bronze Medal requirements, three more parts have been registered in the main page section of the new registry entry. These parts are: BBa_K1761000, BBa_K1761002 and BBa_K1761003.
We have submitted each of these parts to the iGEM registry.
Aptamers play a central role in our device. Even though these aptamers are very promising, they have not yet found their way into society. A major cause for this failure are intellectual property rights. We have addressed these intellectual property rights in our Human Practices section.

We have taken our Human Practices activity to the next level by co-organizing a Synthetic Biology conference.
We have hosted a collaboration which included 14 teams from 8 different countries. As part of this collaboration, we compiled a cloning guide in which we help future iGEM teams in choosing an appropriate cloning method for their project.
We have improved the application of Nanoluc part BBa_K1159001. This part has been used to compile a BRET sensor together with mNeonGreen. NanoLuc was attached to the Outer Membrane Protein X (OmpX) and the BRET system has been used and characterized inside the E. coli bacteria.
