Over the course of the summer we built a set of BioBricks to allow bioluminescence in a wide range of colours which have applications both as reporters for [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/microMeasure '''biosensors'''] and as [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/Lighting '''natural light sources''']. We also developed software tools to aid construction of BioBrick parts and devices.

We adopted a number of strategies to extend the use of '''firefly luciferase''':
 
-
* [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Codons '''Codon optimisation'''] for increased light output
 
-
* Use of a [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Bioluminescence/Luciferin_Regeneration '''luciferin regenerating enzyme'''].
 
-
* Mutagenesis to create a number of [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Bioluminescence/Colour '''different colours''']

We complemented these firefly systems, which require the addition of the substrate luciferin, with light producing systems from '''Vibrio fischeri'''.  We believe we have created the [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Bioluminescence/G28 '''first BioBrick'''] to emit light in normal E. coli strains without the addition of any external substrate.

During our project we made extensive use of [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Gibson/Introduction '''Gibson Assembly'''] to manufacture our parts, and have submitted an [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Gibson/RFC '''RFC'''] to the [http://bbf.openwetware.org/ '''BioBricks Foundation'''] to help future teams make best use of this technique.

<!-- *** End of the alert box *** -->

Along with this, we also constructed a number of tools to assist the synthetic biologists of the future:
 
-
* [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/Gibson '''Gibthon Construct Designer'''] allows the user to enter a series of BioBrick or GenBank IDs in a specific order and computes the appropriate primers for [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Gibson/Introduction '''Gibson Assembly'''].
 
-
* [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/GenBank '''BioBrick → GenBank'''] allows parts from the registry to be downloaded in .gb format, making them compatible with a wide range of biological software.
 
-
* The [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/Ligate '''Ligation Calculator'''] is a small calculator to help you work out the proportions to use for ligation in BioBrick assembly without having to worry about units.
 
-
* The [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/Eglometer '''E.glometer'''] is a cheap, easily built, piece of electronics for measuring bioluminescence.  It allows scientists without access to expensive plate readers to measure bacterial light output and has potential applications in [https://2010.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Tools/microMeasure '''quantitative biosensors'''].
