Project Overview

Objectives
Our project aims to:
- Raise the issue of biosafety, and advocate the discerning use of biosafety circuits in future iGEM projects as a requirement
- Evaluate the risk of HGT in different SynBio applications
- Develop a new, improved containment system to expand the range of environments where GEOs can be used safely.
To do so, we:
- Engaged the general public and scientific community through debate
- Raised the question about how we can regulate this practices
- Compiled a parts page of safety circuits in the registry
- Relied on three levels of containment :
- Physical containment with alginate capsules
- Semantic containment using an amber suppressor system
- An improved killswitch featuring delayed population-level suicide through complete genome degradation.
We strived to make our system as robust against mutations as possible.
