= '''Projects overview''' = Our Team this year have been startinge 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 demevelopping 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 on 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 The project that we will work on this summer is composed of these 5 components * Engineering a new synthetic hormonal system in Xenopus Laevis * A multi-level approach for modeling synthetic systems in pluricellular organisms * Developing biotic games with tadpoles for a better understanding of tadpole's biology * Developing a new super fast onee-shot cloning technique for iGEM * Ethical and legal implication of synthetic biology on 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== =='''Modeling a tadpole:''' a multi-level approach== =='''Biotic games:''' Better undersanding of tadpole behavior through gaming== =='''Golden bricks:''' A new revolution in iGEM cloning== =='''Human practice:''' What does it imply to engineer a pluri-cellular organism==
