Attributions

This page shows how we divided and conquered the various aspects of our project. Each member played a valuable role in advancing our project and making sure what needed to get done got done, whether it was coding for the website or doing actual wet lab work. We couldn't have done it without any of these members.

Wet Lab Work

There were two main components to the wet lab part of our project. One dealt with creating a functioning Factor C component and the other with creating a functioning GFP and Cellulose Binding Site. We would then attach these, however, the first step was to make sure the parts were functioning.

Factor C Work

Ademola, Alyanna, Ivan, Joy, Lizavetta, Marcela, Minaal

For this part of the lab, we attempted to create the Factor C component of our genetic pathway. Factor C is the protein in the Horseshoe crab that clots around any externalor foreign entities in the crab's system. This is perhaps the most crucial part of our genetic system because it is what does the clotting around endotoxins in the pharmaceutical industry.

GFP Cellulose Binding Site

Blacki, Ibrahim

For this part of the lab, we attempted to create the GFP Cellulose Binding Site component of our genetic pathway. This component is important because by attaching the GFP to the Factor C gene using the CBS, we will have a visual indicator for when the Factor C is produced and starts working.

Developing the Public Privacy Forum

Joy

The Public Privacy Forum focused on the topic of Genomic Privacy and how it can affect us. By discussing topics involving Genomic Privacy and who has access to our genomic information.

Coding the Website

Joe, Joy, Minaal

These members helped create our website to display all of our information, our findings and our protocols!
