From 2014.igem.org
We are developing a low concentration bio-detector.
The system is based on an intricate gate construct,
utilizes quorum-sensing and an altered two-component signalling system.
In addition, groundbreaking organic synthesis of a photo-switching molecule – Azobenzene –
is used in a pioneering attempt to mimic biofilm formation.
We have planned and built a low concentration detector using these elements.
The idea
Read about our vision for our project. Find out more about the idea and where some R&D can take us
Histidine Kinase
Read how the Histidine Kinase system in E.coli can be used for different applications and substances
Gate construct
Explore our genetic logic gates in detail, what happens in the system and how it can detect low concentrations
Azobenzene

modeling
Check out our modeling for low concentration detection and bacterial aggregation
Experiments
Find out about the experiments we preformed and see the results. Read more about future experiments we planned
In our Human Practices project we focus on 3 principles:
Encouraging independent thinking and creativity among teens and youth
Progressing Arab-Jewish relations through the medium of science
Representing Israel as ambassadors in the worldwide competition of iGEM
SynBio in 3 languages
All of our human practice activities are related to our main concept of SynBio in 3 languages. Each activity was designed to include all members of Israeli society, and was held in Hebrew, Arabic and English.
iGEM high-schools
We have launched the first iGEM high-school team in Israel! We designed detaild lesson plans, raised the money for the team and found facilities. The first group will start working this winter.
