Overview

We started our brainstorming about this year project in December, 2015 and started the wet experiments in May, 2016. The lab experiment lasted for about 7 months.

 

Distribution

 

Management: Wenbo Xu

Wenbo Xu almost managed all the events in XJTLU-CHINA and participated in both dry and wet experiments.

 

Overall idea: Wenbo Xu, Ziheng Chen

The idea of Qβ replicase was firstly put forward by Wenbo Xu and the idea of intron by Ziheng Chen. Other members developed their ideas and had brainstorming together to design the specific outline of this project in the later processing.

 

Wet Experiments

Almost all members in XJTLU-CHINA were involved in wet experiments. The main members in each group are listed below and they had also been involved in dry experiment to some degree for the specific design of each part.

 

1.      Ts Tu Rep construction: Mulei Gong, Xiaoyu Li, Yuntao Wang, Zhiming Mao Kunqi Chen

2.      Intron construction: Yuming Xu, Hongyu Duan, Kaitong Lu, Fengshuo Liu, Ziheng Chen, Zhiming Mao

3.      Protein detection and characterization: Qing Zhang, Mengjia Li

4.      Qβ Genome deletion and reconstitution: Yizhe Mao, Chengyang Nie, Fengshuo Liu

5.      Retrohoming: Fengshuo Liu, Hongyu Duan, Kaitong Lu, Yizhe Mao

6.      Improvement of last year project: Hongyu Duan, Kaitong Lu, Chengyang Nie

 

Mathematical modeling

Kaifu Wang established all mathematical models for the whole project and he helped process the data of DNA sequences and understand the mathematical part in references.

Human Practice

Undergraduate student research and novel Biology

All members participated in public speeches.

Presenter: Zhiming Mao Mulei Gong, Wenbo Xu

Invited Professor: Dr. Jia Meng & Dr. Tatsuhiko Kadowaki

 

2016 International STEM Festival

Almost all members participated in STEM Festival as narrators to introduce our 2016 project and the previous project to the public.

Public speech presenters: Yuntao Wang, Mulei Gong, Hongyu Duan

 

Road show in Shanghai Technology Museum:

Zhiming Mao, Kaitong Lu, Fengshuo Liu, Ziheng Chen

 

Collaboration

 

Liaison With other iGEM teams seeking for collaboration: Yuntao Wang, Qing Zhang, Zhiming Mao

 

·With ZJU iGEM team: Qing Zhang

Qing Zhang helped ZJU to improve their hardware and characterize a part. She worked with infoCo club of XJTLU to construct a programmable red-green lighting system suitable for 96-well plate, which enables them to remotely control the on-off setting and light intensity for each sample space. This extendable design may accelerate their experiment and it shows a connection between how arduino (electric engineering) can help to characterize bioengineering process.

 

·Interlab: Qing Zhang, Mengjia Li

Qing Zhang and Mengjia Li measured the relative fluorescence of GFP of 5 devices, which is aimed to characterize the measurement of fluorescence.  

 

·STEM Festival: Wenbo Xu

In STEM Festival, XJTLU-CHINA was collaborated with ZJU and NYU-Shanghai and did a group presentation towards the public.

·  Demonstration in Shanghai Technology Museum: Zhiming Mao

XJTLU-CHINA was collaborated with SJTU-Shanghai, Tongji University, NYU-Shanghai for a road show.
