A Visit to BGI

  

  

  July 23, 2012, two iGEM competition teams of our university SUSTC visited BGI for communication and learning from each other .

  Before this, our iGEM team members have held several journal clubs during the past semester to learn basic knowledge of synthetic biology, just before the summer vocation we decided our project, BioSearch iPhone App development for ShenZhen-A team, Transcription Terminator Efficiency Calculator for ShenZhen-B team. After 10 days summer training and work, both two teams have basic achievement on their project. The urgent need is to communicate with other matured teams to get valuable advices and experimental experiences. So we visited BGI.

  During trip to BGI, iGEM team members first visited the BGI Exhibition Hall to know about the development of BGI and their research result, (photos).

  At BGI military school, we saw the training classroom of beginners, library and practicing labs, then we went to the laboratory of BGI researchers, our iGEM team instructor Jiankui He introduced the principles of the sophisticated gene sequencing instruments there and watched the researchers’ demonstration. After the visit, we met team members of BGI(SHENZHEN team),introduced work progress then discussed and gave recommendations to each other on several issues we came across.
