BostonU iGEM Team: Welcome


Give Us Gold


    Our team was awarded a Gold Medal at the Americas East Regional Jamboree! Only 40% of the teams at the Regional were awarded Gold medals.




      ✓   Improve the function of an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information in the Registry, and don't forget to create a new registry page for the improved part. By converting a set of commonly used BioBrick parts into MoClo parts, we've improved the ease-of-use of these parts.

      ✓   Help another iGEM team by characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system. This year, we worked with Wellesley.

      ✓   Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project, such as safety, security, ethics, or ownership, sharing, and innovation.





      ✓   Demonstrate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected; characterize the operation of your new part/device. We built and tested an inverter using BioBricks (BBa_K783067). We've also built numerous simple BioBrick composite parts and tested them (BBa_K783068-K780381). Our new BioBrick Part is BBa_K783066, which is a new repressible promoter called pMmoR. We're in the process of testing that for the Jamboree.

      ✓   Enter this information and other documentation on the part's 'Main Page' section of the Registry. Our new BioBrick Part is BBa_K783066, which is a new repressible promoter called pMmoR. Our inverter is BBa_K783067, and our simple parts are BBa_K783068-K780381.




      ✓   Team Registration

      ✓   Complete the Judging Form

      ✓   Team Wiki

      ✓   Present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree

      ✓   Enter information detailing at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device in the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Including: Primary nucleaic acid sequence, Description of function, Authorship, Safety notes, if relevant, and Acknowledgment of sources and references. Our new BioBrick Part is BBa_K783066, which is a new repressible promoter called pMmoR. We have also made a MoClo version of pMmoR (BBa_K783082) and the mmoR gene (BBa_K78083). We're in the process of making the mmoR gene in BioBricks and will show our data at the Jamboree.
