| - | <p> | + | Today the all that responded our announcements to be a part of the iGEM competition representing the METU-IGEM team got together for the first time. In total we have got 50 interested students, 2 instructors and 1 adviser. We started by introducing ourselves then we talked about our past IGEM experiences. Here, with the audiences we decided to make a brainstorming session which should be after reading enough about more on synthetic biology. Furthermore, we decided to make a brainstorming session to decide on our project after 1 week. |

Revision as of 08:30, 23 September 2012
>December,2011
11.12.2011 :First Meeting Today the all that responded our announcements to be a part of the iGEM competition representing the METU-IGEM team got together for the first time. In total we have got 50 interested students, 2 instructors and 1 adviser. We started by introducing ourselves then we talked about our past IGEM experiences. Here, with the audiences we decided to make a brainstorming session which should be after reading enough about more on synthetic biology. Furthermore, we decided to make a brainstorming session to decide on our project after 1 week.
18.12.2011: Brainstorming Session Part 1: To make a successful plan we know that the first think should be done is coming together and adding the ideas each other. In the first part of the brainstorming we simply think everything and write them on the board! (add the photo 1)
25.12.2011: Brainstorming Session Part 2: In the second part of the brainstorming we continue to storm the ideas and writing down to the board. Then we made a schedule to think the ideas for their feasibility and if it is possible making circuits of the plans. (add the photo 2)
January,2012
03.01.2012: Eliminating the Ideas: The imagination of our team was extremely high because ,our team consists mainly first and second year students. At the end of the brainstorming sessions, there were lots of crazy ideas; however, we had to eliminate them. Finally we ended up with two main project. By trying to choose our main project, the several managerial tasks were divided among the team members. By doing so everyone got the chance to use their experience while learning from each other. Then we divided our team as a 4 different sub-groups;
February,2012
13.02.2012: Article Reading In the middle of the semester holiday, we did a meeting to give some homework to team members. We decided to prepare an article pool about our two main projects. By collecting information, we could have decided which one was more possible or which parts we had to add or remove from our projects.
27.02.2012: Deciding to main project ӠCO FILTERԍ After semester holiday, we had read and summarized so many articles. With this huge amount of information we prepared lots of presentations to transfer the information and to discuss about them. After reading and discussing the so many articles related to our two main topics, we chose CO filter as our main project.
March,2012
06.03.2012: To build the system of our project Because our team members were inexperienced ,we had mini classes in which the basis of genetic engineering is taught. After this time, we all were excellent article readers. We tried to access all possible information about our project and try to build up the system, by finding available promoters ,genes,etc. We finally built the system and we presented it to our advisors.
13.03.2012: Searching for sponsorship Just after deciding our project, we started to search for sponsorship for our team. We started to make telephone calls to every single company or government unit about our project. In this time , we started to search for a new lab.
20.03.2012: Building our own iGEM laboratory Our instructor ,Mrs. Akkaya had already offered her lab for our experiments. However, this wasnӴ enough for us. So after this search, we found a new lab in the basement of Chemistry Building. This lab was being used as storage for this building and was full of unnecessary stuff. By the time, we collected the last parts of our system and we all started to clean our new lab.(temizlik resimleri)

04.04.2012: software meetings Our software team started to do their own meetings. At first , they gather information about the model of our project. At the same time, they started to discussions about the design of our wiki page. By this time, they design a draft logo which is: (eski logo resmi)
11.04.2012: human practice meetings At this time, human practice sub team started to collect their ideas and present them to all group members. They made lots of presentation about their projects. Moreover, they implemented almost all of their ideas; making a short movie, organizing a iGEM party and a picnic with the other iGEM team of Turkey:Baskent University team,going to funfair to tell people about iGEM,etc.
18.04.2012: Hardworking software team Software team was arranging lots of meetings to talk about the design of our wiki page and the logo. After so many crazy ideas we ended with our current logo :Ɓfter deciding our logo, software team started to ask the ideas of all team about wiki design.
25.04.2012: : Meetings with presidency of METU Our funding team arranged meetings with rector of our university. After those meetings, we found some money necessary for our wet lab practices.
May,2012
02.05.2012:Readdyyy for wet lab!! After cleaning, we designed our laboratory .Because our lab was a radioactive working place, we had to remove lots of stuff and check whole lab for radioactive substances. Because of our limited budget ,we can only place an old PCR machine named as UMUT. Then we had opened the box sent by iGEM with big excitement for the first time.
09.05.2012: letӳ go into autoclave together!! We all introduced with autoclave at this times. All equipment that we had collected was autoclaved patiently and this procedure has been done often up to now.
23.05.2012: Preparing plates.. As a beginning of our wet lab work, we prepared lots of plates with agar medium. It was necessary to prepare them continuously during our working period. The first preparation was so excited for every one of us; however after time passing, this part has become the most boring part of study.
June,2012
06.06.2012: Lab cleaning List We all had started to live and work in this lab, so we have to keep it clean. We made a cleaning list and paste it on to our door. And we arrange a post stage for our lab notes. (resimler) And as a compulsory work, we had to have a lab notebook to write down all procedures.
13.06.2012:Now Transformation List From iGEM kit we started to extract our parts and after diluting store them in fridges. Addition to this, we prepared competent cell series. Because we are very crowded wet lab team , we had to divide people into sub groups for transformation.
14.06.2012: Protocols, have you seen my protocols? The senior members of our team started to search for their reliable protocols. We collected all protocols that we could find. Then we copied all to our lab notebooks?
15.06.2012: Competent cells were prepared according to our protocol. A new list was done to do competent cell.
16.06.2012:Let the transformations begin! All the members of our team started to learn how to do transformation. All parts, removed and diluted, were ready to do transformation. There were almost ten groups for doing transformation. All started to their work one by one.
18.06.2012:We did the transformation of PLasR and JD.
19.06.2012: Transformation of CI and Elowitz were done by second group.
20.06.2012: KS and RBS were done ,too.
21.06.2012: Plates were cleaned and the contaminated LB was poured.
22.06.2012: Meeting Time o Were these protocols true , why didnӴ they work, who are we :S All transformations, except Berke`s , were failed. So we started to change our protocols and repeated all procedures with these new protocols. After that time, transformations started to work. o Funding team; They all started to telephone calls to companies. They found some companies who are ready to help us . And they arranged meetings with G�� Vakfi , Vendeka and GךDELERRIN SIRKETI. Also they collect the information for application of TUBITAK.
23.06.2012: With new protocols transformations were started to repeat.
24.06.2012: With our new protocol , the transformation of PLasR and JD were succeed.
25.06.2012: The parts,CI and Elowitz, were also done .
26.06.2012: 26.06.2012: Our third group also succeeded the transformation of KS and RBS parts.
27.06.2012:Our last group did the transformation of LacI ,LasR and J23116. They also did LB agar with ampicillin according to LB agar protocol.
28.06.2012: The primers arrived and we dilute them according to their special value 1:10 ratio. We tested our primers with PCR.
29.06.2012: Meeting o Wetlab: Protocols were being collected for next procedures. o Software: Software team started to build the model of kill switch and quorum sensing. They needed some parameters for these models .So lots of homework was given to all team to do some research about them. o Funding: Our rectorship started to give some funding for our wet lab procedures. Then they started to search funding for our plane tickets and accommodation.
30.06.2012: We did the colony PCR from plates which we cultivate. The iGEM team of Baskent University came to our university for meeting .We decided for collaboration.
