Welcome to the MIT team Wiki for iGEM 2008

iGEM is the international genetically engineered machines competition.
The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA DNA].
To see examples of the amazing possibilities of iGEM, check out last years [http://parts.mit.edu/igem07/index.php/Main_Page iGEM page]
Read our promotional brochure to learn about synthetic biology at MIT (front and back).
iGEM at MIT is possible because of outside support, contact Tom Knight (tk [at] mit.edu) to help out!

Project Description

Our goal is to engineer a common yogurt bacteria, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, so that it will express the 20aa peptide p1025. A clinical study (Kelly CG et al.; Nature Biotechnol. 1999) reports that p1025 is good for your teeth. p1025 reduces oral colonization of Streptococcus mutans, a tooth-decaying bacterium. See [[1]] for a more in-depth explanation of our project details.
