Human Practices - Collabortion

Collaboration with AHUT_China


This year, our iGEM team developed cooperative relationship with the AHUT_China team, the iGEM team from Anhui University of Technology. We have reached an agreement to help each other check the model.
We first checked the feasibility of the models and analyzed their feasibility. Then, we improved these models. The AHUT_China team helped us test our translation software to identify any bug and provided us helpful suggestions.

Collaboration with UESTC_China


Our iGEM team also developed cooperation with the UESTC-China team, the iGEM team from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. We have reached an agreement of helping examine the effectiveness of DNA carriers.
First, we cloned EGFP cDNA from pEGFPN2 vector using primers containing NheI and BamHI. Second, we used EcoRI and NheI to cut pesc-trp plasmid, and then inserted the EGFP coding region and the FUS1 promoter into pesc-trp plasmid to construct pFUS1-EGFP carrier. UESTC_China used EcoRI and NheI to digest the pFUS1-EGFP carrier, and helped us to verify the DNA sequence of this plasmid.

Collaboration with OUC_China


This year, our iGEM team also cooperated with the OUC-China team, the iGEM team from Ocean University of China. We had extensive interaction to let more people know the principal concepts of our cases.
When communicating with students from elementary schools, we publicized the case of the OUC-China iGEM Team, and distribute their well-decorated brochures to arouse the learning interest of the students. The students have became more familiar to the synthetic biology. They also gained extensive knowledge about the background and ultimate goal of the iGEM.
