This year, our team launched collaboration with the iGEM team at Tsinghua-A University.<p></p>
 +
Tsinghua-A’s iGEM project aims at constructing a synthetic biology circuit to seek insights into noise propagation as well as measure the capacity of parallel information channels. To better scrutinize the information flow mechanism, they planned run computational simulations on Matlab combined with the wet lab work. However, when they were simulating their system with Gillespie Algorithm, they fell short of computing power when it came to scanning the parameters. Due to the limited time frame, it was indeed a big challenge for them to deal with the difficulty shortly.<p></p>
 +
Knowing about their urgent need, immediately, our team decided to assist them by utilizing the equipment resources as well as team members with required intellect. Through a series of online conversations, we soon figured out the background information about their project and planned out a feasible solution to help them out. We actively communicated with several relevant research groups at ShanghaiTech as well as the nearby SARI (Shanghai Advanced Research Institute) to seek qualified computational platform. Then, we modified and operated the algorithm where we mainly scanned several key parameters, Ka (dimer association rate) and Kd (dimer dissociation rate constant). As later commented by the Tsinghua-A iGEM Team, it was our timely help that significantly boosted the efficiency of their project.<p></p>
 +
Meanwhile, benefiting from this connection, frequent team communications were raised as well. After exchanging the idea with regards of the projects, members from the Tsinghua-A showed strong interests in our Solar Hunter system. To better illustrate our biofilm-based platform strategy, the wiki-design team at Tsinghua-A depicted a brief mechanism of our project in a cartoon style, which provided us some inspirations to design our own big picture later on. The figure they drew is used and also can be seen on our Wiki page.<p></p>

Meanwhile, the wiki-design team at JSNU provided us assistance in creating avatars, where they drew a serious of cartoon bacteria characters based on the real photos of our team members. These avatars are used and also can be seen at the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Team:ShanghaitechChina/Team">Team session</a> on our wiki page.<p></p>
