Genetic diagrams, engineering cycle, overview of modelling, overview of major results, contributions etc.

Basically just an overview of our project progress and results, with a section detailing how we achieved a Gold medal!

• Helped Bristol by sending them a mini-iGEM project: Chemotactic dot-to-dot with information on quorum sensing and directed movement
• Helped Bristol by sending them a part (BBa_J37015) from our 2007 stock which was an empty vector in the Registry
• Developed integration bricks, to allow devices to be constructed that can then be excised and planted into B. subtilis
• Layed the groundwork for future teams to work with B. subtilis by BioBricking promoters, RBSs, terminators and so on and characterising them
• Showed that expansion into other organisms is a definite possibility!

Of course, that's a very simplified description of our project. We expanded upon our project by looking into possible areas for real-world application; for a case-study of such an implementation check out how our project fits in with >>> Biocouture >>>
