<p><b>WM iGEM 2016 Presents: The Circuit Control Toolbox.</b></p>
+
       
−
<p>Genetic circuits can be described according to their input-output relation by using a Transfer Function, which plots the concentration of output protein with respect to concentrations of input molecule. Such functions are well-modeled by Hill Functions, and as such have three parameters: the hill coefficient n, the half-max concentration K, and the saturation level V. These mathematical parameters correspond to the physical circuit properties of response steepness, input sensitivity, and maximal response level, respectively, in addition to the emergent properties which arise from their combinatorial modification.</p>
+
<!--PRESENTATION PAGE INFORMATION BEGINS HERE-->
−
<p>We present a toolbox of BioBrick parts that will allow for the modification of the Transfer Functions of arbitrary circuits via the incorporation of these parts into the final steps of the circuit. These parts include Decoy Binding Arrays, which buffer the sensitivity of the circuit to low levels of input concentration, promoters driven by synthetic enhancers to allow the circuit to reach up to four levels of discrete output levels, and a suite of ribosome binding sites to modulate the circuit's total output level. Our parts are all buffered by the inclusion of characterized ribozymes downstream of the promoter, in order to insulate the specific circuit component's transfer function from the choice of expressed protein, allowing for greater orthogonality and modularity in our toolbox components.</p>
+
<!--all source files, header, footer, and CSS resets are now in templates
−
<p>In addition to creating, characterizing, and submitting these Toolbox parts to the Registry, we will also create a Circuit Toolbox Calculator which experimenters can use to navigate the high-dimensional space of possible Transfer Function modifications. Experimenters who have built a genetic circuit will input two transfer functions: their empirical observations of the circuit's response at different input molecule concentrations, and a desired transfer function for their modified circuit. The calculator then finds the optimal match to the target function by iterating through the possible modifications to the empirical transfer function through the parts in our Toolbox, returning to the user a list of Toolbox parts and small-molecule inducer concentrations that will replicate this best-match function <i>in vitro</i>. These calculations will be based on both theoretical and observational insights from mechanistic models and kinetic simulations of the interactions between our Toolbox components and arbitrary genetic circuits.</p>

  Our project aims to provide a modular collection of genetic parts which can specifically and predictably tune the
 +
  behavior of an arbitrary genetic circuit. This collection, which we have dubbed the “Circuit Control Toolbox,”
 +
  consists of a suite of parts which can be added to the end of a given genetic circuit; each part provides a specific
 +
  and independently tunable response which allows direct control over the ultimate output behavior of the circuit.

<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>
+
−
<li>Have lots of fun! </li>

<h5> Uploading pictures and files </h5>
+
−
<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>

Circuit Control

✻
creating a toolbox allowing for precision circuit control

The Toolbox

Our project aims to provide a modular collection of genetic parts which can specifically and predictably tune the behavior of an arbitrary genetic circuit. This collection, which we have dubbed the “Circuit Control Toolbox,” consists of a suite of parts which can be added to the end of a given genetic circuit; each part provides a specific and independently tunable response which allows direct control over the ultimate output behavior of the circuit.

You can view our project description page here.
