Team Nevada - Coming Soon

Since its inception in 2003 at MIT, the iGEM competition has grown to an international level bringing thousands of international students together. iGEM is dedicated to education through competition, to the advancement of synthetic biology, and the development of open community and collaboration.

Team Nevada's goal:

This year the Nevada iGEM team is working with the plant hormones auxin and jasmonic acid to develop a quick, efficient, and bioorthogonal system to control protein stability in yeast. The auxin-inducible-degron (AID) system has been published and used by previous iGEM teams, but has never been combined with the parallel jasmonic acid system in non-plant cells.
