Collaboration with the Gaston Day School iGEM Team

We collaborated with the Gaston Day School team this year to provide advice and analysis of their project. We maintained a line of communication and advised their team on how to proceed with Arabinose Induction to characterize certain part submissions. We also contributed an E. coli cell line meant for arabinose induction to help their procedures. We discussed ideas about each other's projects and possible courses of action. We sent Parth Patel, a graduate of the Gaston Day iGEM team, to personally discuss plans and relay samples. We plan to help with transformation of colicin from original stocks into plates that contain antibiotic resistance so that the Gaston Day team's project may further progress.
