Projects overview
Our Team this year have been starting developping a huge and comprehensive project. We are the first team ever that will start doing synthetic biology on a vertabrate, and we would like to demonstrate developping the genetic and modeling tools for various Xenopus, as well as creating a very ambitious project on engineering the first artificial hormonal system ever in science. We also think about the future of iGEM by proposing a new ambitious cloning system and finally, we are putting on stage the various ethical and safety problems of working with a superior organism
A quick summary of each project is proposed in this page. Please go on the specific page of each project for more details!
The French Froggies: Engineering a new hormonal system in tadpoles
Our aim is making the genetic engineering of synthetic systems in both species of Xenopus (Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis) that are frogs of African origin. Both species are frequently used in biological research as models amphibians to study the development or toxicology.
The Xenopus is used as a "biosensor" allowing more meaningful measures of the dangers to humans than could be obtained with unicellular organisms. Furthermore, the use of a multicellular organism provides an additional level of complexity compared to single-celled organisms which multiplies the potential applications in terms of synthetic biology.
