iGEM 2008 TEAM

April
April's summary: The beginning of the project! We researched previous iGEM competitions and defined some ideas for our project. We voted for our favorite, taking in account every single characteristic the competition requires and the complexity of the idea.
2008-04-02
Students’ investigation and presentation of previous iGEM projects. Several previous iGEM projects were investigated and presented by members of the team. The idea behind this was to familiarize with the kind of projects previously presented. Brainstorming This activity was performed by all the members of the group. We came up with several ideas, some quite unfeasible, but nevertheless it was fun. Here are some of the ideas: Bacteria capable of detecting diseases Gas receptor Sensing mood Billboards with bacterias Reacting to sounds Swimming control Motion sensors Storing information and retreiving it afterwards Solving mazes Sensing alergens in foods Sounds + Light Invisible Ink Degrading Tires Making food starting with something unedible Calculator Degrading detergents Writing from a distance Removing oxide Removing stains from clothing

Choosing a Project Based on the previous brainstorming and some fresh ideas we chose seven potential projects. We stated positive and negative points on each of them, and each member voted for two projects. The three with the highest score were selected as preliminary projects. The team divided in three groups, and each of these groups got in charge of researching one of the preliminary projects. The potential proyects were: Bacteria capable of detecting something (alergens for example) Reacting to noises Degrading tires Photosynthesis Biobrick* Multistability Gradual temporal sensor* Modify an oscillator* The ones marked with an asterisk, are the three preliminary projects.

Preliminary Projects Group Presentation One or two members of each group described their projects and afterwards the whole team evaluated each of the projects. One was selected. The team divided in four groups, each of them with a specific area: Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Biology and Physics/Chemistry. Each group would have to focus in their area during the project. Several tasks were assigned as homework including completely understanding a previous project and analyzing the pros and the cons of our team projects. Photosynthesis: Pros: Good project with a lot of potential Cons: Almost no modeling done Would be a long term project Made up by too many parts Oscilator: Pros: Demands little lab time A lot of potential for modeling Easy to implement Strong theory (easy to generalize) Would be a nice first approach Cons: It’s an extention of another project already done Temporal Sensor: Pros: Relevant Long term project Cons: Many parts Require much investigation Designing it Time it would take to accomplish this project

Defining new project We discussed the possibility of choosing three new preliminary projects to investigate and analyze next session since the project we had decided had already been done. We talked with Dr. Miguel about the feasibility of our projects. We pointed pros and cons on our six other potential projects. After a voting, three new preliminary projects were decided. The team divided in three groups and each of these groups was assigned to one of the preliminary projects. The three newly selected projects are: Reacting to sounds Photosynthesis Biobrick Multistability
