• New Approach to Human Outreach
  • We have made a new approach for human outreach and human practices that revolves around having open discussions with the three stakeholders: Companies, researchers and society.
• Collaboration
  • Discovery Festival: Together with the Dutch teams of Eindhoven, Wageningen and Groningen we represent iGEM on the national scaled science festival, the ‘Discovery Festival’. We are represent at the Science Center Nemo, the biggest and most famous science center in the Netherlands, where we will use an interactive lab to communicate to a broad audience.
  • We have developed a wiki editting tool that is a vast improvement over the current MediaWiki editting system. It allows the user to create and edit entire sections at once while using their edittor of choice.
• New BioBricks
  • We made a methylation based memory module in E. coli that is proven to work and is able to be used by any future scientist by implementing their own sensor. On top of that we have submitted several new BioBricks that are completely foreign to the Parts Registry Database, such as a Zinc Finger Array and Methyltransferase.
• Working BioBricks
  • We have demonstrated that our final construct and all its seperate parts are working.
• Characterization of our BioBricks
  • We characterized all the BioBricks submitted and showed that our system works by analyzing the relative intensities of cut and uncut plasmids on the gel electrophoresis, and showed how future results should be interpreted in order to read out the results.
