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.
