After discussion in the seminar, 13 students organized the iGEM team and set out to design our project.

2012-3-24 Sat

Our project application were admitted in our school and the registry work started.

The achievements of one week's work:

Muyuan Chen & Xuelong Fan: responsible for the fund application and team registry work.

Xingyu Zhou: designed the bio-sensor based on the asymmetric colony.

Ying Cheng & Zhu Zhu: Searched the information about quorum sensing.

Xiaodan Xu: Read the literature on E.coli's flagella and division.

Peng Cheng & Le Zhou: designed the wiki and logo.
