Collaborations
 
Cambridge JIC-team, England
 
The Cambridge JIC-team were generating a chloroplast transformation toolkit and were interested in expressing a CRISPR/Cas9-system in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii . The purpose of the project was to achieve homoplasmy quicker, in a matter of days rather than months since no selective plating would be required.
 
The collaboration between LiU iGEM and Cambridge JIC-team has been an ongoing process in the form of e-mail contact, skype meetings and weekly reports about the week that was. The exchange has included discussions, questions about the model organism, Gibson assembly and other approaches, different protocols and other things that felt unclear.
 
 
USP/UNIFESP, Brazil
 
The Brazil team USP/UNIFESP also work with C. reinhardtii and wanted to try CRISPR/Cas9 with RNPs but encountered some difficulties when it turned out that another team worked on a similar project. The team needed a new approach which we helped them with. This was done by exchanging protocols and regular updates from both teams.
 
 
Northwestern, USA
 
Received protocols for several experiments and exchanged ideas to optimize protocols. The main collaboration was in the beginning of the period.
 
 
Collaborations via surveys
 
Surveys are a easy way to reach the public, LiU iGEM both answered and shared surveys from other teams in order to help them in their work.
 
 
Collaborations via surveys were with following teams:
 
-Team Chalmers, Sweden
 
-Team XMU, China
 
-Team Aachen, Germany
 
-LMU and TU Münich, Germany

Ethical values regarding our project


Team LiU iGEM 2016 has put a lot of effort in informing about synthetic biology in general as well as our project. We have informed about these matters to both companies and schools. They were very interested in our project and the feedback we recieved was that they gained a lot of knowledge regarding the economical sustainability of biodiesel from C. reinhardtii by CRISPR/Cas9. LiU iGEM finds a huge importance in a persistent evaluation of the project from different perspectives particularly; environmental, economic and health related values. To gain all information required for these evaluations we were in contact with the office at the Swedish Gene Authority Board, the Work Environment Authority and the Technical Research Institute. By educating ourselves we could reach out and share our knowledge with our collaborators and the public in general. Click on the ethics pamphlet to open the evaluation as a pdf file.
