After the tryouts, we set up our team – UESTC-Software.We have 13 student members in our team and we major in different disciplines like biomedical engineering,software and physics.At the first meeting,we introduced ourselves to others.Then,our school leaders and our supervisors conveyed their great expectations to us.

We have regular meeting once a week.At the second meeting , we divided 13 people into three groups and assigned job to each team member.Refer to the project which was completed in the tryout, we determined our project titles as To Detect the concentration of e.coli by the homemade mobile phone cameras.After that, we read a large amount of academic papers in order to find the best way of detecting and we shared ideas which we got from the papers.
11 st
We discussed the preliminary schedule and main tasks at this stage and the team leader emphasized the discipline required during the preparations for iGEM. During this time, we achieved the following goals: produced the camera which was in line with the requirements at low cost;completed the design of our team LOGO and player t-shirts,which have got the members’ unanimously support.

In cooperation with the members from UESTC - China, we came to Chengdu No.7 senior high school,which is the best high school in Chengdu,for a lecture about the iGEM and synthetic biology.The students showed great enthusiasm and interest in our work.I believe in the near future, they will also become a member just like us, continue to strive for the future of synthetic biology.
1 st
We analyzed the previous iGEM projects carefully and they inspirited us a lot.With the in-depth study about synthetic biology, our horizons was broadened gradually, we begined to realize that our project had many limitations and deficiencies.
16 th
During this time, we knew about a series of emerging technology by reading papers and consulting our professors. Then we had a heated discussion about if changing our project or not.Finally we made a decision,we gave up the old title, and chose a new research direction ,which was CRISPR - X: a sgRNA design tool for genome editing in synthetic biology.
23 rd
We have read a large number of academic papers related to CRISPR and had a comprehensive knowledge of the iGEM requirements.At the same time, we invited Professor Zhang who is the supervisors of the UESTC-China for giving us a wonderful lecture about CRISPR.We were delight that everybody in our team did not be affected because of the change in the general direction of the project.
1 st
During this time,we knew a lot about ZFN TALEN CRISPR and a series of related software.We focused on every software’s structure setting and the principle of running,and then we discussed a clear-cut schedule:Nowadays we are conceiving the frame of the software and the function of each part.In July and August,we are to realize all of these functions and complete related douments.In September,the project will be improved and embellished.Besides,we decided to design a FLASH for introducing our software.
20 th
During the communication with UESTC – China, we introduced the project,communicated experience and strived to do better.After the communication,because the summer holiday was coming soon, we carried on some related preparations for the summer training.
12 nd
During the summer,we had a more detailed plan about work arrangements. In this week,the basic marking scheme was determined.We have got public server and uploaded the server code.The first interface of the software have been completed.The basic ICONS and the first interface have been embellished.The algorithm 1 and the Wiki page have been completed, everything gone well.The App has been completed and the progress was consistent to the client computer work.
21 st
The android client has been almost completed, the computer client also needed adding more function later. The page of wiki has been completed with waiting for content to join.Background was in the update, gone smoothly.Algorithm 1 needed making a large number of modified design about input and output.It has been basically completed.Algorithm 2 is in the state of maintenance.We searched the Ncbi database data and have determined the model animals which we would study about.Server database has been set up,the database table has been completed.
