Revision as of 06:18, 14 October 2014
We are developing a low concentration bio-detector.
The system is based on an intricate gate construct,
utilizes quorum-sensing and an altered two-component signalling system.
In addition, groundbreaking organic synthesis of a photo-switching molecule – Azobenzene –
is used in a pioneering attempt to mimic biofilm formation.
We have planned and built a low concentration detector using these elements.
The Idea
Read about our vision for our project. Find out more about the idea and where some R&D can take us
How it Works
Find out how we planed to achieve our goal for low concentration detection
Alpha System
Explore our first genetic logic gates design in detail, what happens in the system and how it can detect low concentrations
Beta System
Read about our second design of logic gates meant to reduce noise thus help with more accurate detection
RNA Splint
Find out our plan to split any desired gene sequence to produce it under 2 different promoters and have the full protein self-assemble in the cell
Azobenzene
Read about our pioneering method for bacterial aggregation using organically synthesized Azobenzene molecules
Histidine Kinase
Read how the Histidine Kinase system in E.coli can be used for different applications and substances
New Method
Explore a new method for faster DNA assembly based on Gibson assembly
In our Policy & Practices project we focus on 3 principles:
Encouraging independent thinking and creativity among teens and youth
Progressing Arab-Jewish relations through the medium of science
Representing Israel as ambassadors in the international iGEM competition
SynBio in 3 languages
All of our Policy & Practices activities are related to our main concept of SynBio in 3 languages. Each activity was designed to include all members of Israeli society, and was held in Hebrew, Arabic and English.
iGEM high-schools
We have launched the first iGEM High School team in Israel! We designed detaild lesson plans, raised the money for the team and found facilities. The first group will start working for the 2015 competition.
SynBio Lectures
We have created detailed lesson plans including slideshows for children of all ages about Synthetic Biology in space and in water. We used these lesson plans for our activities and they are available for your free use.
Collaborations
In the iGEM spirit we collaborated with the Paris_Bettencourt team on a few projects including a weekly newsletter, and with BGU_Israel on an experiment.
