<center> Throughout the life cycle of any given cell, many pre-programmed genetic decisions are made by cells in order for the cells to develop normally or to respond appropriately to external stimuli. This is especially true in complex multi-cellular organisms, where various cell types have to work in tandem in a multitude of cellular tasks. For instance, the apoptotic pathway allows for controlled cell death, which is essential for the continued function of many multicellular organisms. Stem cells must make vital cellular decisions during early development of multicellular organisms about when to differentiate and into what cell type. Thus, it is through understanding the complexities of these ‘decisions’ that scientists may be able to design independent cells that will change its own cellular fate in order to better accomplish whatever its given task. With that in mind, the uOttawa iGEM team is attempting to recreate synthetically one particular cellular decision mechanism within a simply eukaryote (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), taking a step towards controlling entire decision pathways and possibly creating unique cell fates within existing cells. | <center> Throughout the life cycle of any given cell, many pre-programmed genetic decisions are made by cells in order for the cells to develop normally or to respond appropriately to external stimuli.
