Team History

• March 12th, 2012

Events:

March 12th. The first iGEM meeting was a very serious one, and there were only 5 members: Kang Chen Zhang Ou and Gong ,respectively.

We decided to build a list about the whole previous iGEM projects and divided it into five parts: America for Kang and Chen, Europe for Zhang and Ou, Asia for Gong. All of us were in charge of scanning the projects, summarized them and gave the other members a brief description. Each one for one minute.

• March 15th – April 13th, 2012

  Events:

  Though a recruitment talk with the other classmate in BGI, nearly 20 students and two instructors became members of us. We established a team consisted of eight schools—SCUT, SCNU, SCU, UESTC, WHU, HUST, SEU, UST.

  We continued to sum up the projects from 2008 to 2011, and in the meanwhile, we separated the whole into more parts and assigned to the other members.

  Finally, we finished the summary.

  And we also discussed what we should do, we originally put up with 4 schemes: Schrodinger’s cat—randomly producing 0 and 1; Density sensing application--based on the result of JIandong Wang’s research; Christmas tree—sparks different colors ceaselessly; Yeast artificial organelle—transform mitochondria into a biofactory. The former 3 projects were gave up due to the similarity to the previous iGEM projects. We lay down our consideration on Yeast artificial organelle.

  Chen Yu search more articles about mitochondria transgene and mitochondrial signaling pathways he can and pack it as a file of endnote.

  We clarify our projects as a combination of five modules: NAD+/NADH Sensor, self-killer, post-invader, sel-control transporter and artemisinin producer.

  We divided our group into five parts according to the modules and select two members of each modules to make up two new squads—modeling construction and lab experiments.
