Team Registration:

Team registration fees paid and received on time.

Complete Judging Form:

Judging form filled out and submitted.

Create and share a Description of the team's project using the iGEM wiki and the team's parts using the Registry of Standard Biological Parts:

Every page of Wiki has been finished, and all submitted parts have descriptions added to their respective pages.

Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree:

Poster design is already underway, as is preparation for the presentation.

The description of each project must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services:

See our Team page and Attributions page.

Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device used in your project/central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). Please note you must submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry. Please see the Registry help page on adding new parts. A new application and/or outstanding documentation (quantitative data showing the Part's/ Device's function) of a previously existing BioBrick part also counts:

See our Parts page and the registry descriptions for BBa_K1322231 and BBa_K1322001

Silver

Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected.:

Verification of successful santalene production is pending and will be updated on the part page for BBa_K1322231 before the Jamboree. Plans are also underway to confirm that BBa_K1322001 retains its functionality as a fluorescent oscillator. Those results will also be posted on its page in the registry.

Document the characterization of this part in the Main Page section of that Part's/Device's Registry entry:

All confirmation data, including GC-MS output chart, time lapse images of fluorescence, and more will be uploaded to the proper part's registry page.

iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Articulate at least one question encountered by your team, and describe how your team considered the(se) question(s) within your project. Include attributions to all experts and stakeholders consulted:

See the Introduction section of our Project page for just a handful of examples of the many considerations made in regards to the environment and sustainability.

Gold

Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team or your own institution in a previous year), enter this information in the Registry. Please see the Registry help page on how to document a contribution to an existing part.:

See our Parts page about BBa_K1322001, which is an improvement on BBa_K546546. In addition, pVU14006 can be viewed as a substantially improved and revised version of BBa_K300001

Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.:

See the Collaborations section of our Project page

iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Describe an approach that your team used to address at least one of these questions. Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team's scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM). We encourage thoughtful and creative approaches, and those that draw on past Policy & Practice (formerly Human Practices) activities.:

See our Project page, especially noting how our genomic extraction approach, which has virtually never been done before by a manufacturing-division iGEM team, adds several unique areas of relevance to applying our approach to rare and endangered species, as well as the implications using natural versus synthesized genes has on considerations of intellectual property rights in light of the recent supreme court ruling Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics .
