HAIR TO STAY

iGEM Team of

Zhongzheng University

We have had a meaningful collaboration with CCU_Taiwan iGEM team in interlab study. When CCU_Taiwan worked on interlab, they were not able to transform the plasmids for Interlab from iGEM kits into thier competent cells DH5α. This caused their interlab study to be stuck just at the beginning. (For more detail about the problem CCU_Taiwan iGEM faced, click here.)

They started to ask for help from other iGEM teams and we decided to give them a hand. We had several online meetings to help them troubleshoot their interlab study. We even read their labnotes and discussed together. However, due to the proximity of the deadline for interlab data submission, we think that it would be a good idea to make a backup plan for them. Therefore, we gave them E.coli into which we had successfully transformed with plasmids for interlab. We have also gotten through our interlab study in advance to make sure that we have the right concepts and methods to help them out.

With our help and with their perseverance , CCU_Taiwan eventually finished their interlab study and their result was accepted by the Head Quarter on August 24.

-<p>As a part of human practice, the collaboration between iGEM teams has always been both encouraged by iGEM headquarter and embraced by the teams. Collaboration not only inspire new thoughts but also help teams refine their experiments. Sometimes it really takes more than one team to succeed in synthetic biology.</p>

-<p>This time, Zhongzheng University ask us to help with their Interlab experiments. They had trouble transforming DNA sequences required for Interlab into E.coli. After a long period of problem detection and errors elimination, we determined that the sample genes obtained by Zhongzheng University do not seem to be completely purified, and there are many other DNA sequences that are not part of the target DNA. We informed Zhongzheng University iGEM team of our conclusion to help them with their experiments.</p>
