Parts
Overview of Parts
Our team submitted a total of 9 parts to the iGEM registry. The parts that were submitted were all components to HSL quorum sensing systems. The parts are all RFC21 compatible with other parts possessing other compatibilities. There are 7 basic parts and 2 composite parts. The gBlock, receiver, and sender sequence for the Aub system in psb1C3 are 3 of the basic parts. In addition, the senders for the Bja, Bra, Cer, and Sin systems were submitted as part of the inductance test with the F2620 part. The 2 composite parts are the modular vector for the receiver and the inducer.
Quorum Sensing-Aub System
The Aub quorum sensing system was a major focus of this project. The system arose from an unknown soil bacteria, and produces N-dodecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone molecules, which acts as the chemical signal for the Aub system. Because the system is not characterized well, it was thought to be a good target system for Aub.
Quorum Sensing-F2620 Inductions
The part Bba_F2620 (found here), designed by Barry Canton and Anna Labno from MIT, is a device designed to output PoPs when LuxR is activated. This was used to test interactions between inducers from other quorum sensing systems. The Bja, Bra, Cer, and Sin systems stem from various organisms and their inducers were submitted as parts to the registry with the purpose of completing this induction test. .
Each team will make new parts during iGEM and will submit them to the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. The iGEM software provides an easy way to present the parts your team has created. The <groupparts> tag (see below) will generate a table with all of the parts that your team adds to your team sandbox.
Remember that the goal of proper part documentation is to describe and define a part, so that it can be used without needing to refer to the primary literature. Registry users in future years should be able to read your documentation and be able to use the part successfully. Also, you should provide proper references to acknowledge previous authors and to provide for users who wish to know more.
Note
Note that parts must be documented on the Registry. This page serves to showcase the parts you have made. Future teams and other users and are much more likely to find parts by looking in the Registry than by looking at your team wiki.
Adding parts to the registry
You can add parts to the Registry at our Add a Part to the Registry link.
We encourage teams to start completing documentation for their parts on the Registry as soon as you have it available. The sooner you put up your parts, the better you will remember all the details about your parts. Remember, you don't need to send us the DNA sample before you create an entry for a part on the Registry. (However, you do need to send us the DNA sample before the Jamboree. If you don't send us a DNA sample of a part, that part will not be eligible for awards and medal criteria.)
What information do I need to start putting my parts on the Registry?
The information needed to initially create a part on the Registry is:
- Part Name
- Part type
- Creator
- Sequence
- Short Description (60 characters on what the DNA does)
- Long Description (Longer description of what the DNA does)
- Design considerations
We encourage you to put up much more information as you gather it over the summer. If you have images, plots, characterization data and other information, please also put it up on the part page.
Inspiration
We have a created a collection of well documented parts that can help you get started.
You can also take a look at how other teams have documented their parts in their wiki:
