Team:UNC Chapel Hill/19 June 2009

Back
 * Met and talked about potential projects in detail
 * Scott showed pictures of his results, transfecting the RFP part into bacteria:
 * Went over two projects:
 * 1) Genetic Trigger Switch using Recombinases - The biological system will be in one state (say producing Red Fluorescent Proteins).  A trigger will occur to induce the production of a recombinase, which will excise a sequence to put the system into another state (say producing Green Fluorescent Proteins).  See attached for the presentation.
 * 2)  Characterization system of iGem parts - Create a system to characterize various different iGem components using Fluorescent Proteins.  For example, come up with a part with a blank spot for a promoter.  This part would allow many different promoters to be compared.  Could do similar tests on Ribosomal binding sites and Terminators.  Would entail creating a detailed mathematical modeling system.  Would also be immensely practical and useful for iGem.


 * Will be voting on them by Monday.
