We are especially grateful to our numerous sponsors on gofundme, who supported our project and made it possible.
Every public donor, who helped us to achieve our goals got a special place on our bacterial wall of fame and a handdrawn microbe to show our appreciation. A link to that wall can be found here:
Parts
Connecting global research
Our contribution to a huge parts collection.
The concept of iGEM is based on the exchange of internationally provided DNA sequences. These sequences are called Biobricks and are collected in a big database, which grows steadily as iGEM progresses. In this way, teams all over the globe can benefit from the part collection and improve the work that was done previously by other teams, to drive the research further.
Basic parts and composite parts
Basic parts are functional DNA units that cannot be divided into smaller parts. A construct of multiple basic parts is called a composite part. Here, the functionality of a basic part was increased through the implementation of different functional sites. The parts of our team are listed and shortly described in the following table:
