Team:Arizona State/Collaborations
Collaboration
Throughout the year, we contacted several iGEM teams to collaborate on our projects. We reached out to high school teams, which may not have the resources to sequence plasmids or parts. The two teams that we collaborated with were the Urban Tundra team from Edmonton and Broad Run Northern VA from Baltimore.
Urban Tundra
We collaborated with the Urban Tundra iGEM team from Edmonton, Canada. The team was unable to sequence the plasmid that they designed, so the ASU team offered to sequence their plasmid via the Core Laboratory at ASU. The information was collected and sent back to the Urban Tundra team.
Broad Run Northern VA
We also collaborated with the Broad Run Northern VA team from Baltimore, MD. Their team was also unable to sequence two of the plasmids that they constructed. The ASU team helped sequence those two plasmids via the Core Laboratory at ASU. Both sequences were collected and sent back to the Baltimore team.

Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.
Which other teams can we work with?
You can work with any other team in the competition, including software, hardware, high school and other tracks. You can also work with non-iGEM research groups, but they do not count towards the iGEM team collaboration silver medal criterion.
In order to meet the silver medal criteria on helping another team, you must complete this page and detail the nature of your collaboration with another iGEM team.
Here are some suggestions for projects you could work on with other teams:
- Improve the function of another team's BioBrick Part or Device
- Characterize another team's part
- Debug a construct
- Model or simulating another team's system
- Test another team's software
- Help build and test another team's hardware project
- Mentor a high-school team
