Turing meets synthetic biology:
self-emerging patterns in an activator-inhibitor network
Our team has closely collaborated with LCG-UNAM-Mexico iGEM team since the early stages of both projects by the exchange of ideas and discussing about experimental and theoretical issues of both projects' development.
As the time went by and the projects were more refined, complications and doubts about the projects were more specific and the collaboration became closer. The experimental work in our lab stopped in the middle of the summer because our 2008 iGEM kit plate was retained by the mexican customs and the critical bioparts for our project were not available in previous iGEM Kit plates, so LCG-UNAM-Mexico iGEM team supported us by providing the bioparts we needed. They also made the work easier for us because helping with elutions, transformations and plasmid extractions of the parts they provided us. Their technical advice was helpful, allowing us to recover some of the time we lost because of this issue.
In return, we helped in the modeling of their project; in particular, we advised them in the programming of a cellular automaton which simulates the phage infection and bacterial defense. This model was quite hard to build because it incorporated a considerable diffusion component.
The collaboration between our team and LCG-UNAM team made things easier for the teams and made possible to achieve both projects' current advances.
