iGEM Evry 2012 achievements


Asides from having lots of fun, meeting great people, gathering around cheese and wine and lazying around the Genopole gardens during lunch break, we also did a little bit of work. Here is a list of our achievements:



-We brought a new multicellular chassis to iGEM
-We submitted 28 biobricks to the registry, including the first working Xenopus biobricks
-We characterized 12 Biobricks:
BBa_K812000,
BBa_K812050,
BBa_K812010,
BBa_K812030,
BBa_K81203,
BBa_K812032,
BBa_K812110,
BBa_K812130,
BBa_K812132,
BBa_K812133,
BBa_K812200,
BBa_K812233.

-We designed a method for testing multicellular systems in Xenopus rapidly
-We provided 3 new plasmids for using this method, which include debugging tools


Hormone system


-We designed a multicellular hormonal system
-We improved the Auxin production device for use in eukaryotes
-We submitted the Tir1 auxin detection device to the registry
-We showed the first Synthetic ecosystem, with a unicellular chassis (E.coli) inside a multicellular chassis (Xenopus)


Goldenbrick


-We designed a new biobrick standard which allows one-shot coding device assembly, while still being compatible with the RFC10 standard


Modeling


-We modelled a whole multicellular system using an integrated multilayered model


Human practices


-We submitted an extensive report of our conclusions about synthetic biology in vertebrates, which is the fruit of our long reflection we conducted over the summer.
