Our Tracks

1- New Application

2- Foundational Advance

3- Information Processing

The New Application- "Catch-All" Track

Our project is multifaceted and encompasses different fields, reflecting the diversity of our team. We have been working on biological, bioinformatical and technological fronts as well as a strong hold on outreach. This work has allowed the introduction of a novel chassis, Marchantia Polymorpha, opening iGEM to the plant world.
Our project aims to open access to synthetic biology by the introduction of this new-user friendly plant chassis, allowing users to build genetic circuits in the comfort of their home.
Our approach to the issue of cheap and open access, which has so far never been tackled successfully, is to modularise plant strains which can then be crossed by simple Mendelian genetics.
This shift in paradigm brings Synthetic Biology out of the high-resource-requiring labs and into the open.

New Application teams work to create novel, forward thinking projects and innovative ideas that don't fit into conventional paradigms. It is the novelty of ideas and approach in investigating a question that may never have previously been examined that qualifies a project in the New Application track. The Foundational Advance track allows teams to come up with novel solution to technical problems surrounding core synbio technologies.

-The New Applications tracks in iGEM is possibly the most difficult to describe. Without using the term "catch-all", there is a certain diversity of projects that is not found as much in other tracks. New Application teams work to create novel, forward thinking projects and innovative ideas that don't fit into conventional paradigms.
-New Application is an apt description for a track that doesn't have a common problem, or focus tying all projects together. It is the novelty of ideas and approach in investigating a question that may never have previously been examined that qualifies a project in the New Application track.
