Project
Our team has finalized our large amalgamation of thoughts to a few possible projets:
Fat/sugar/protein converter
Genetically produced fuel/BioDeisel
Kopi Luwak Coffee
- 3-5 enzymes get rid of bitter proteins and carbohydrates
- electronic nodes
Bacteria that absorbs CO2/fossil fuel by product/catalytic converter
Skin regenerating Bacteria
Bacteria with memory/synthetic neurons
Synthetic/modified mitochondria or chloroplast
Notebook
First Few Weeks
In the first few weeks, we had introduced iGEM to students, taken sneek-peeks on projects done by past iGEM teams, and done small exercises. One example of a demonstration was modelling the process of producing a plasmid of recombinant DNA with restriction enzymes and ligase using pipe cleaners, candies, labels and scissors.
Up to February 26 2014
Our team has done some moderate research on final topics. The final project will be picked soon.
These are a list of the possible candidates:
- Fat/sugar/protein converter
- Genetically produced fuel/BioDeisel
- Kopi Luwak Coffee
- Bacteria that absorbs CO2/fossil fuel by product/catalytic converter
- Skin regenerating Bacteria
- Bacteria with memory/synthetic neurons
- Synthetic/modified mitochondria or chloroplast
