Team:China Tongji

Welcome to iGEM 2015!

Your team has been approved and you are ready to start the iGEM season!

== project introduction ==

In our project, we will use the technology of optogenetic and use light of defferent wave produced by the special light source assembled by ourselves to control the moving of C.elegans, construct a movement controlling system and bulid an amusement park of C.elegans.

We will try to design our special parts and express channalrhodopsin in specific C.elegans' neurons. To accomplish our goals to express channalrhodopsin in single neuron, we make the use of cre-loxp system and the overlapping of promoters. We not only use the traditional channalrhodopsin,chR2,but also try to express the novel channelrhodopsin, Blink, and other fancy channelrhodopsins which have never been tested in C.elegans.

And we will also get some parts and assemble those parts into a new equipment which can serves as the light source of our experiment.Then we will use computer controlling that lightsource to change the light which can activate or suppress the channelrhodopsin. By doing that, we can try to control the behaviours of C.elegans such as moving forwards or twisting more effectively.

What's more,we will express GFP,YFP,mcherry in E.coli and P.Aeruginosa. By combining the color of microorgasims and C.elegans, we want to construct some interesting scenes to form a C.elegans' fancy world.

This technology will be helpful in the research on neuron's function and interaction. In the future, this technology may also be used in mechanical controlling system and the theraphy of movement defect.

Styling your wiki

You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.

While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.

Editing your wiki

On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!

See tips on how to edit your wiki on the Template Documentation page.

Templates

This year we have created templates for teams to use freely. More information on how to use and edit the templates can be found on the Template Documentation page.

Tips

This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:

State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2015 calendar
Have lots of fun!

Inspiration

You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:

Uploading pictures and files

You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2015 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)
