Cambridge iGEM 2014



Mösbi

Mösbi introduces a brand new chassis to iGEM. It is Marchantia polymorpha, a compact, fast-growing and primitive plant, engineered into a flexible biosensor that could respond to a user-specified input in a user-specified way. With its modulable input, processing, and output plugins linked with transcription factors and their upstream binding sites, mösbi’s functions can be mixed and matched either using traditional molecular techniques or via sexual crossing to create a tailor-made biosensor suiting anyone’s needs in the comfort of their own homes. Click here to find out more.


Marchantia

Our novel, eukariotic multicellular chassis is Marchantia Polymorpha. As a liverwort it is one of the most primitive current land plants; its small size and relative genetic simplicity make it easy to work with in a number of ways. Content to grow on agar plates, Marchantia can be engineered in a standard bacterial lab with minimal extra equipment. Click here to find out more about the plant, and here to learn how to get started using Marchantia in your own iGEM project.


Results

We successfully transformed hundreds of Marchantia plants, expressed a chromoprotein in a plant for the first time, built an arduino-controlled growth chamber, introduced a new enzyme to iGEM, and characterised an old one. Click here for more information.


Our team

We are nine Cambridge science undergraduates from various backgrounds and with all kinds of fascinating and curious interests. Click here to meet the team.
