<h2> Welcome to the UIUC_Illinois 2016 wiki! </h2>
+
−
<p> Promoters can be used to control the gene expression of whichever gene they are placed upstream of. Most promoters which are currently in the iGEM registry can be separated into one of two categories. There are constitutive, or “always on,” promoters of various strengths. There are also inducible promoters, which activate transcription based environmental factors such as light, pH, or the presence of any number of molecules.

For our project, UIUC_Illinois is characterizing a promoter library that will give users more control over gene expression, without the need for inducers. We are currently working to isolate a set of e. coli promoters that turn on and off according to the host’s growth phase. For example, one promoter may become active during exponential growth but shut off once stationary phase is reached. Another promoter may be active only during the initial lag phase before shutting off for the rest of the growth curve. It is our hope that these promoters will be useful tools for any teams wishing to time protein production in vivo, whether the intended applications are metabolic engineering, probiotics, or any number of related topics.

<h5> Styling your wiki </h5>
+
−
<p>You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.</p>
+
−
<p>While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.</p>

−
<p>We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Judging/Pages_for_Awards/Instructions">Pages for awards</a> link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!</p>

<h5>Tips</h5>
+
−
<p>This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started: </p>
+
−
<ul>
+
−
<li>State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start. </li>
+
−
<li>Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.</li>
+
−
<li>You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.</li>
+
−
<li>Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.  </li>
+
−
<li>Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.  </li>
+
−
<li>Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Calendar">iGEM 2016 calendar</a> </li>
+

−
<p> You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2016 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name. <br />
+
−
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to <br><code>T--YourOfficialTeamName--NameOfFile.jpg</code>. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)</p>

UIUC_Illinois iGEM 2016

Promoters can be used to control the gene expression of whichever gene they are placed upstream of. Most promoters which are currently in the iGEM registry can be separated into one of two categories. There are constitutive, or “always on,” promoters of various strengths. There are also inducible promoters, which activate transcription based environmental factors such as light, pH, or the presence of any number of molecules.

For our project, UIUC_Illinois is characterizing a promoter library that will give users more control over gene expression, without the need for inducers.




Just in Time.

A library of growth phase dependent promoters.





Project

See our team's project description and motivation for a promoter-driven project. Project design and safety considerations are also included.

Human Practices

iGEM teams strive to make an influence outside of wet lab work. This area includes exploring issues relating to the environment, community, ethics, and other humane topics of interest.

Wet Lab

See our team's work regarding the benchtop work done for the project. This includes our team's notebook, experiment, and results. See undergraduate lab research in action!

Meet the Team

See the 2016 UIUC Illinois iGEM team members! Collaboration details with another iGEM team is also included.
