Attributions
Our project would not have been possible without the hard work of every member, mentor, and advisor. Check out our Attributions page for detailed information concerning the contributions of team members, mentors, and advisors.
Characterization / Contribution
Our InterLab page shows how our team participated in the InterLab study this year.
SILVER
Validated Part / Contribution
We have created a parts collection (BBa_K2605000 to BBa_K2605004 and BBa_K2605009) for use in targeted gene integration and maintenance in eukaryotic cells. Each part in this collection has been verified with restriction enzymes and sequence confirmed for validity.
Collaboration
In addition to hosting the 2018 aGEM meetup, we worked with the NDC-HighRiverAB iGEM team, Queens Canada iGEM team, and the Lethbridge iGEM team on collaborations. See our Collaborations page for more details.
Human Practices
Our team carefully considered the social impact of our actions by identifying and discussing potential ethical issues with our mentors. Additionally, we emphasized outreach to researchers, students, and adults in the community to engage a discussion about synthetic biology.
GOLD
Integrated Human Practices
The integration of expert feedback played a major role in informing a pivot from gene therapy towards a research-oriented gene integration platform. Discourse involving bio-ethicists, researchers, university faculty, and spiritual thought leaders all contributed to the re-working of our initial plans to create a project that better suits the community's needs.
Improve a Previous Part / Project
Part BBa_K747096 was improved by the addition of a SalI restriction site upstream of the promotor. This new part, BBa_K2605001, is built to be compatible with our Multiple Cloning Site.
