Human Practice
・E.create!
Our motivation
We made a BioBrick card game “E.create” to introduce to a number of people the enjoyability of synthetic biology. Nobody in our team had learned synthetic biology until we started our iGEM project. We thought from our experiences that the construction of the plasmids is the most interesting process. We hope that everybody who is interested in life sciences and genetic engineering can enjoy learning synthetic biology by playing with E.create!
E.create is a puzzle game. The kit contains cards with illustrations on them. Each card corresponds to one of the gene parts including:
・Promoter,
・RBS (Ribosome Binding Site),
・Protein coding regions,
・Terminator,
・Ori (Origin), and
・Drug registance genes (KmR, CmR and AmpR).
☆ How to play
Players will challenge to constract one or more plasmid(s) that should be required to transform E.coli to give properties presented by the puzzle master. An example is shown below. Let’s make it!
Ex. This E.coli can express GFP constitutively and has Km resistance.

・Questionnaire
Our survey was carried out by Ehime-Japan, Osaka and KIT-Kyoto iGEM 2012 teams together! We obtained a lot of answers from people in different regions.
≪Questions about genetic recombination≫
Choose the best answers from the bottom.
Q1
In Europe, genetically modified foods are distributed on the market widely. When shopping, would you buy “not genetically modified foods” if there is an indication?
[Always buy / Tend to buy / Hardly mind / Not mind / Never seen such an indication]
Q2
Have you ever heard the word, “Synthetic biology”?
[Yes / No]
Q3
What do you associate with genetic engineering and biotechnology]?
