Team:Bordeaux/Model

Sleep with EpiC elegans

Bla bla bla

All iGEM projects work with modified organisms. When we work with those organisms, the question of confinement is essential to prevent their propogation out of the lab. Even if each team thinks about the best tool to answer this question, our team has decided to think about the worst situations.

What happen when a bacteria population escape from our tubes ?

To answer this question, we decided to create a model in order to see :

  • how many bacteria will be able to live on the lab bench
  • if the bacteria will be able to maintain their plasmid lost

To present our work, we will explain our model in different parts. First, we will explain what type of models we have chosen and why. Then, we will describe its initialization and how we modelized the bacteria growth and their plasmid lost. Finally, we will make an assessment of our model and give our perspectives.
