We are a team composed of all freshmans. We attend Summit Shasta High School and this is our first year participating in the iGem program. [http://aslanbnguyen.wix.com/igem Click here for more!]

'This year we will be focusing on creating a carbon monoxide sensor, a bacteria that in the presence of CO activates RFP (Red florescent protein) to make the bacteria glow, and let of a distinct smell. This way you do not need to be able to see the sensor to detect CO.	Your team picture

Project

Our iGEM project is to modify bacteria by creating plasmids in order to create a bacteria that detects carbon monoxide. Once they have detected the carbon monoxide, they will release red florescent protein (RFP), which makes the bacteria red, and easy to notice.

Notebook

Every Tuesday we meet to make progress on our iGEM project. On Thursdays we go to the lab at skyline collage and do laboratory work, at the end of our meetings we discuss the progress we have made, and research new information for our next meeting!

Results/Conclusions

Over the course of the year we have practiced with bacteria by making transformations and competent cells.

Safety

In the lab we are always supervised by Chris Vulpe (Professor at UC Berkeley), and Nicholas Kapp (Professor at Skyline College).

Although we rarely have lab coats.

Attributions

Who worked on what?

Human Practices

This CO sensor would be useful in many ways: 1. It would not require constant power, this means that you could use it in locations with easy access to power, such as third world countries, underground places/mines, portable/handheld, etc. 2.It would be small and compact, allowing for easy transportation, meaning it could be carried by people everywhere, providing constant protection. 3. It would create a smell, this means that deaf and blind people would be able to be aware of it, as well as allo

Fun!

To have fun we poked fun at Will. To be frank his jokes are pretty bad. Who drops a terminator joke in the middle of a brainstorming session? Will McEachen of course, it wasn't even that good in the first place. Aslan Nguyen on the other hand is the genius of the group and is able to crack amazing jokes!
