An oscillator is a system that repeatedly goes back and forth about a specific value to achieve an equilibrium. Many think of an oscillator as being a physical system such as a pendulum or a clock, but oscillators are also repeatedly found in biological systems. Biological oscillators are characterized by a positive and negative feedback loop.

In order to further aid the future competitors of iGem, we have included this distributive computing tool kit. This tool kit includes the biobricks that we have used in all of our projects that allowed us to build our multi-population systems. It is a foundation for all competitors to use in order to build a system of populations, whether it be one population, two populations or “n” number of populations.

For our oscillator, we created three different strains. These strains used three different quorum sensing molecules AHL, AI1, and AI2 coupled with yellow, red, and blue fluorescence proteins to create an oscillating effect.

The toolkit is organized for easy access and understanding. All of the biobricks are organized by function. These categories include: intermediate, receiver, reporter, repressor, signalling and repressor.
