Cockroach terminator: Cockroaches are widely distribute throughout the world and live in a wide range of environments. They are commonly regarded as dirty pests, because they may carry bacteria and viruses. However, the use of chemical control makes cockroaches generate resistance to insecticides. This year, our project decides to find a synthetic biology solution to cockroach infestation. We kill cockroaches by a fungus called Metarhizium anisopliae, which can causes disease in various insects by acting as a parasitoid, but harmless to humans. We will improve the adhesion and penetration abilities by transferring HsbA gene and chitinase gene BbCHIT1. Then, MCL1 gene encoding protein helps M.anisopliae escape from immune response of the host by forming molecular minicry. Furthermore, light-control biosafety switch IOS-i-GEM, submitted by team 2016 NYMU-Taipei, making our system safer. Finally, we will make a product with our modified M.anisopliaeoil and oil compounding to kill cockroaches indoors.

Welcome to iGEM 2018!

Your team has been approved and you are ready to start the iGEM season!

Before you start

Please read the following pages:

Styling your wiki

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.

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.

Uploading pictures and files

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.

When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)

Wiki template information

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 Pages for awards 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!

Editing your wiki

On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!

Use WikiTools - Edit in the black menu bar to edit this page

Tips

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:

State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
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 iGEM 2018 calendar
Have lots of fun!

Inspiration

You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:
