iGEM 2008 - Hawaii
Our team aims to create the framework and tools for expanding the scope of BioBrick synthetic biology to organisms other than E. coli. Creation of a mobilizable broad-host-range plasmid enables the transfer of modularized and abstracted genetic components to act in wide range of organisms that share a similar pool of intermediate metabolites. A broad-host-range mobilizable vector would serve as a channel to "open source" the rich diversity of genetic information between organisms in a laboratory setting.

Facts

  • The Hawaii team really likes gummi bears and cookies. Our gummy bear diet can be (and often has been) substituted with Swedish Fish.
    • At the highest consumption rate, we devoured two pounds of gummy bears during a three hour meeting.
  • When combined, Grace's and Krystle's initials are a palindrome (KSGSK). Norman claims they speak and dress alike to confuse faculty and advisors.
