| This is the third year of competition for the Purdue University iGEM Team. For those of you unfamiliar with Purdue, it is a large land-grant school in West Lafayette, IN (halfway between Indianapolis and Chicago). Our team consists of 4 undergraduate students, a graduate advisor, and two professors. We are extremely excited about this year's project. | |

Purdue's project this year is creating a biosensor for UV radiation. Essentially, we are combining the SOS pathway promoter with a lacZ gene. This will lead to transcription of lacZ whenever the bacterial DNA undergoes significant damage. By plating these bacteria on X-gal plates, a blue color will be an indicator of intense UV irradiation. To read more, click on the links below! |  |
