GOLD

Improve a previous part or project We improved the characterization of BBa_K873002, an HSP promoter that had no previous data about activity or activation temperature. Vilnius iGEM recreate our characterization protocl and got similar results.
Proof of concept We conducted a proof of concept experiment to show that our Super Cells not only were able to overproduce reduced electron donors, but were also able to utilize them for a biological process

SILVER

Validate new part We validated part BBa_K2135001, showing that expressing petF in DH10B produced ferredoxin.
Collaboration We mentored University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s first iGEM team. We guided them through iGEM requirements, provided them with funding and HP sources, and helped them any way we could! We had a blast working with them this summer and even got to meet each other at the iGEM Heartland Meetup!
Human Practices Throughout out the summer, we talked with important people in various fields related to our project. From farmers to environmentalists to industry researchers, our project grew and changed as we learned more from these people. Ultimately, they helped shape our project and move it towards its final state. Check out our Human Practices page to learn more!

BRONZE
