Collaborations

The U of L Collegiate iGEM team has aided the HS iGEM team in troubleshooting wet lab experiments, specifically with the assembly of our three constructs Nuclease, Dextranase, and Petal Death Protein. Advice was given with experiments such as transformations, restriction digests, ligations, minipreps, and construct design.

In addition to our collaboration with the U of L iGEM team, we organized and hosted an Alberta wide wet-lab workshop designed to teach basic wet lab protocols to High School iGEM teams all across Alberta. Five high school iGEM teams, Consort, Our Lady of the Snows, Ted Harrison, Central Memorial High School, Lethbridge, were in attendance in total for the two day event. Protocols of Ligations, Making Competent Cells, Transformations, Minipreps, and Gel Electrophoresis were taught to name a few.
