The Team

<br>
 
-
This is the first year that the University of Victoria has entered the iGEM competition. Our core team this year is a group of five students who are enrolled in a directed studies course under the supervision of Dr. Nano and Dr. Upton. There are also a number of other students involved, but who are not taking the directed studies course. Our lab notebook, ideas brainstorming, and progress can currently be found at <a href="http://igem-victoria.pbworks.com/">igem-victoria.pbworks.com</a>

Our Project

<br>
 
-
We are designing a NAND logic gate using the ribokey/ribolock system designed by the 2006 Berkeley team. This system should constitutively produce RFP except when the cells are grown in the presence of both arabinose and IPTG.

Signal Integration: Applications of RNA Riboregulator Capabilities

Abstract:

This project explores some of the ways that the secondary structure of messenger RNA can be used to control the rate of protein expression. The 32oC ribothermometer made by the 2008 TUDelft team will be coupled to fluorescent proteins to visually confirm temperature-dependent translation. The "ribolock" made by the 2006 Berkeley team will be tested at various temperatures to determine if it could double for use as a ribothermometer. Finally, a proof-of-concept NAND logic gate will be constructed: a ribolock will be used to interpret two concurrent environmental signals into an on/off control for mCherry output.


Safety Considerations

   1. None of our project ideas raise any safety issues in terms of researcher safety, public safety, or environmental safety.
   2. There is a Biosafety Commitee at the University of Victoria, which can be found at http://ohs.uvic.ca/biosafety/index.html.
   3. Our project raised no issues as it did not involve any dangerous organisms, genes, or materials.
   4. None of the new biobrick parts we made this year raise any safety issues.
