Our publication of The Constructor at the Journal of Biological Engineering [Highly Accessed].

The poster of The Constructor, presented at the German Synthetic Biology Conference in May 2012 in Munich.

Plug and Apply System

GFP-coil, coils, the idea

Outside Modifications

• Designed the primers for amplification of the needed constructs
• Delivered the proof of principle that these primers work [link to framshift, Hugo]
• Provided the templates for modifications and placed them in the partsregistry
• Isolated the PLRV from nature which, in theory, should be easy to modify on the outside

Inside Modifications

Negative CCMV, Frameshift

Virus Like particles

Detection Isolation from nature

• RNA isolation
• RT-PCR
• Addition of prefix and suffix
• Transformation of E.coli
• Isolation of plasmids
• Sequencing of PLRV CP's
• Alignment experiments

General

We organised a mini Symposiumfor all dutch teams in the begining of the competition to create a national network and eventualy annational effort

Human Practices

We went to present our project and The Constructor at the Centre of Advanced Studies Synthetic Biology conference in Munich, where we learned a lot and get familiar with the German iGEM teams
