          <p>In order to popular iGEM in our country and do some research about our project, we made a questionnaire. We disseminated the questionnaire in many different places to make different range of people to participate this research, however, the students is still the most part of the engaged people.<br/>In the questionnaire, we got three part needing people to sign in. through these three parts’ questions, we can find the viewpoints people showed to iGEM and our project.</p>

  • DNA Distribution Kit sent to teams
    May 01
    iGEM 2014 Late registration closes
    May 3
    Site: West 304 of main building in UESTC
    Decisionon the backbone vector.
    The backbone named pXZY006 was proffered by one of our advisor Zhengyang Xie. And we designate it piGEM001.
    Weixin Liu finds some chloroplast and cytoplasm transit peptide from Uniprot database.
    May 7
    Site: West 304 of main building in UESTC
    Take a group meeting and design the vectors we plan to use.
    May 14
    Site: West 304 of main building in UESTC
    Group meeting.
    We discussed some details in the designing of vector constructing;
    At the end of the meeting, we started our experiments.
    May 19
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    We extract pXZY006 plasmid from bacterium culture using TIANGEN kit.
    Using SpeⅠand HpaⅠto do the double digestion of pXZY006 and F01 (contains HPS ) and do the ligation using T4 DNA ligase.
    May 22
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Do the transformation in competent recipient E.coli cell.
    May 23
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Repeat the experiment we do in May 19 and May 22 for the outcome is not that satisfactory.
    Also we do not use the T4 ligase to do the ligation but by Gibson assembly.
    May 28
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Do the colony PCR to testify if the F01 has ligated to pXZY006.
    And it comes out with positive clones, so the vector piGEM001 has been successfully constructed.
    May 29
    Site: West 304 of main building in UESTC
    Group meeting;
    Decide to build the second vector piGEM002.
    Ligate F05, F02, and F03 to piGEM001 to construct piGEM002;
    Ligate F06, F07 to piGEM002 to construct piGEM011.
    May 30
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Ligate F06 and F07 to iGEM001.
    May 31
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Do the transformation using heat shock.
    The outcome is satisfactory that there is no clone in control group and thirteen clones in experimental group.

  • June 5
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Do the colony PCR to testify if the F06 and F07 have ligated to piGEM001.
    This ligation fail due to the outcome of colony PCR.
    June 6
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Repeating the experiment we did on May 31.
    June 7
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    Do the transformation and colony PCR.
    The outcome of colony PCR still demonstrate we fail again.
    June 8-13
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    We do the ligation and transformation repeatedly, asking help from our advisors, finally we got the right outcome of piGEM011 (not the originally piGEM011 we planned to construct, used to be F06+F07+piGEM002 and now is F06+F07+piGEM001)
    June 14
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    We ligate F02, F03, and F05 but fair.
    June 15
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    We ligate F02, F03, and F05 but fair.

  • July 1-16
    Site: West 121 of main building in UESTC
    We do the multiple ligation of F02, F03, and F05 repeatedly for changing the parameters in experiments but fair. And finally we abandon F03 and F05, ‘cause no matter how we improve the criteria of our experiments we still get the fail result. But we still add F02 into piGEM001 to construct the backbone.
