Project description
The biological pattern formation is a important research field in Systems Biology. In the past 50 years, there were several major breakthroughs on finding the mechanisms of biological pattern formation. Many classical theories have been proposed, for instance, The Turing Model (A.M.TURING et al, 1952) and The Clock And Wavefront Model (Cooke, J, 1976), etc. With the emergence of Synthetic Biology, many research teams are trying to understand and verify these theoretical models with the ideology of Synthetic Biology and some developments have been made (Liu Chenli et al, 2013). However, the understanding to the mechanisms of biological pattern formation is far from mature. For this year, we are aiming at developing a system in which computers are used to guide the biological pattern formation. In this project, the easy operability and strong control ability of computers are exploited to monitor and regulate the growth process of bacterial community in real time to achieve the shape we want. Our system can also be extended to eukaryotic cell community which will be useful in aiding the development of biological tissues and the regeneration of organs.
★ ALERT!
This page is used by the judges to evaluate your team for the improve a previous part or project gold medal criterion.
Delete this box in order to be evaluated for this medal. See more information at Instructions for Pages for awards.
Tell us about your project, describe what moves you and why this is something important for your team.
What should this page contain?
- A clear and concise description of your project.
- A detailed explanation of why your team chose to work on this particular project.
- References and sources to document your research.
- Use illustrations and other visual resources to explain your project.
Advice on writing your Project Description
We encourage you to put up a lot of information and content on your wiki, but we also encourage you to include summaries as much as possible. If you think of the sections in your project description as the sections in a publication, you should try to be consist, accurate and unambiguous in your achievements.
Judges like to read your wiki and know exactly what you have achieved. This is how you should think about these sections; from the point of view of the judge evaluating you at the end of the year.
References
iGEM teams are encouraged to record references you use during the course of your research. They should be posted somewhere on your wiki so that judges and other visitors can see how you thought about your project and what works inspired you.
Inspiration
See how other teams have described and presented their projects:
