<h3> Styling your wiki </h3>
+
−
<p>You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.</p>
+
−
<p>While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.</p>

<h3> Uploading pictures and files </h3>
+
−
<p> You must upload any pictures and files to the iGEM 2018 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name. </p>
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
<p>When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <b> T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg</b>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)</p>

−
<p>We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Judging/Pages_for_Awards">Pages for awards</a> link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!</p>

<h3>Tips</h3>
+
−
<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
+
−
<ul>
+
−
<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
+
−
<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>
+
−
<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
+
−
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
+
−
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
+
−
<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Calendar">iGEM 2018 calendar</a> </li>
+
−
<li>Have lots of fun! </li>

Edinburgh iGEM 2018

MaxED OOT

We are an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate students hailing from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. This summer our research is focused on Maxicell formation in E. coli. We aim to provide improved characterization to facilitate the use of Maxicells - achromosomal E. coli cells - as a safe and minimalistic chassis for future use in Synthetic Biology. We intend to quantify the time frame in which Maxicells can continue to express protein, the active metabolic time frame, by producing reporters for the intracellular concentration of important metabolites such as ATP. In addition we wish to attenuate the improvements in biosafety offered by a non-reproducing chassis via amber suppression and recoding, a DNA degrading killswitch, and replacement of standard antibiotic-mediated resistance to prevent advantageous horizontal gene transfer. The resulting novel chassis raises many compelling questions both philosophically; as to our definitions of what constitutes a living cell and legally in terms of the current legislation governing the use of GMOs outside of the laboratory setting.

We believe that our project meets Gold Medal Criteria.
