The iGEMers of XMU-China are responsible for all the iGEM work this year, which includes idea, lab work, wiki and paperwork and so on. And also, we communited and collaborated with many iGEM team this year. All the work did by our team members and help received from advisors and others is shown below.

1. Idea

Date back to Nov. 2015, we have held many brainstorms meeting, which all members have participated in. Finally we came to the E.coli soldiers. All members have contributed to our project design. Also, advisors and instructors have given us some important advice about the project.

2. Project

The lab work started in May 2016.

(1) Circuit construction (undergraduate)

We ordered that all team members should take part in the gene circuit construction. However, lab work is not an easy work, and we have other important part of the competition, such as Wiki, interlab and human practice, should be done. Yawen Jiang, Renwei Liu, Ziteng Liang, Jinyu Wang, Yuling Li, Shijia Qi, Wei Guo, Zeyue Gao, Jiajin Yan and Yihang Zhou are major in the circuit construction.

(2) Characterization (undergraduate)

Characterization also carried out by undergraduate iGEMers totally. And the advisors and instructors just gave some suggestions and technical guidance.

(3) Interlab (undergraduate)

The interlab study was done by Zeyue Gao.

(4) Improve a previous parts or project (undergraduate)

We base this part on the project did by WHU in 2014, which was carried out by Rengwei Liu, Yuan Zhao, Bing Chen and YunPeng Bi. (This is not our major project)

(5) Collaboration

We base this part on the project did by WHU in 2014, which was carried out by Rengwei Liu, Yuan Zhao, Bing Chen and YunPeng Bi. (This is not our major project)

3. Policy & Practices (undergraduate)

(1) Newsletter

With the guide of advisor Renyuan Zhang (Editor of last year), we have published 2016 iGEM Newsletter, which was divided into team version and parts version. Yawen Jiang, Ziteng Liang, Bing Chen and Jinyu Wang communicated with iGEM teams all over the world and invite them to write for the iGEM newsletter. Then, material collecting and sorting was mainly finished by Jinyu Wang, Yuan Zhao and Yunpeng Bi. The typesetting was designed by Zuo Wang and Yuling Li. After the preparation work, Zuo Wang, Yuling Li, Jinyu Wang and Yuan Zhao finished the typesetting assisted by other member of our team. Then, all of our members have proofread them. Finally, we finished the publication well.

(2) Communication with other teams

We used many approaches to contact with other iGEM teams, such as twitter, facebook, e-mail, Skype and OICQ and so on. Communication was charged by Yu Zhu, Jinyu Wang, Bing Chen and Renwei Liu. In addition, others members also can login the Social account to communicate with iGEMers form different team. We also met with representative of CUAS and QUBI, and all of our members participated in the discussion with them.

(3) Human practice in Xiamen

Human practice was in charged by Yu Zhu and with the assistance of other members.

(4) Wiki (undergraduate)

This year, the Wiki was designed majorly by Bing Chen. And with the help of Yuan Zhao, Zuo Wang, Yunpeng Bi, Yuling Li and Yihang Zhou.

(5) Art design (undergraduate)

The PowerPoint was majorly designed by Jiajin Yan. Videos were made by Yu Zhu and Zuo Wang. Brochures were designed by Yuling Li and Yunpeng Bi. And the pictures was designed by different members because many undergraduates can perform Photoshop very well.

4. Safety

This part was in charge of YU Zhu and carried out with the assistance of all member.

5. Team training

Our university don’t teach an iGEM or synthetic biology course. We learnt the knowledge from the textbooks and iGEM official website. After brainstorm, advisor Feng Wang started to teach our members the lab work. All of us are hardworking so that we can did our project smoothly.
