Mösbi: A modular plant biosensor


Aim

Build a modular biosensor using, for the first time in iGEM, the lower plant chassis Marchantia Polymorpha.

Plan

Use Marchantia as a flexible biosensor. The input, processing and output functionality are parceled into separate modules which are linked using transcription factors and inducible promoters. The modules can be interchanged, allowing many devices to be constructed from the same library of components.


Vision

Produce input, processing and output modules in separate plants which can be combined through Mendelian crossing. We want to make plant biosensors accessible to the home enthusiast in the same way that electronics is made accessible by Arduino.


Our team

We are a multidisciplinary group of 9 enthusiastic Cambridge science undergraduates. Click here to meet the team.
