May

Project Design

The month of May was largely focused on the selection and design of our Biobrick parts and devices. Two weeks were dedicated to the selection process for our team's 2014 iGEM project. Each acting team member identified a problem and proposed a solution via a genetically engineered organism; through discussion and popular vote, it was eventually determined that our team would work to express functional sMMO in E.coli for the purpose of methane remediation.
At this time, the team also voted to continue characterization and expansion of the RBS insertion primers first designed by Georgia Tech's 2013 iGEM Team.
May saw very little bench work besides training modules to develop wet lab skills and build our supply of biological resources.
