Experiment:
1. We constructed a part library that can drive protein phase separation. The library includes several dimerization modules and multivalent modules.
2. We rationally
Beyond experiment:
1. We submitted 29 high-quality Biobricks, including basic parts, such as multivalent HOTags, and composite parts that can robustly drive phase separation.
2. We developed a batch file to process large amounts of fluorescence images. It offered a high throughput solution to analyze experimental results derived from fluorescence microscope.
3. We did a statistical investigation of iGEM in the past decade. The academic background of the iGEMers provided evidence of the increasing diversity of iGEM.
4. We played an active part in preschool education and tried to integrate some biological knowledge into the games. We also devoted ourselves to promoting synthetic biology in high schools.
5. We focused on how to build a bridge between scientific research and the public. We exchanged ideas with experts from academia and developed a feasible idea to design a cheap fluorescence microscope affordable by the public.
6. We collaborated with many universities. We shared experimental equipment and helped each other with modeling as well as experiments. We also attended CCiC (Conference of China iGEMer Community) and got inspiration from other teams.
