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:

  1. Fat/sugar/protein converter
  2. Genetically produced fuel/BioDeisel
  3. Kopi Luwak Coffee
  4. Bacteria that absorbs CO2/fossil fuel by product/catalytic converter
  5. Skin regenerating Bacteria
  6. Bacteria with memory/synthetic neurons
  7. Synthetic/modified mitochondria or chloroplast

February 27 2014 Narrowing it down.

  1. Genetically produced fuel/BioDeisel
  2. Kopi Luwak Coffee (COLI Luwak Coffee)
  3. Bacteria with memory/synthetic neurons / Battery?

March 6 2014

Final Decision by the Team: Kopi Luwak Coffee (project name is E. COLI Luwak)

March 12 2014

Our team has officially designated team members to certain tasks for the project. These Include:

  1. The team wiki
  2. Research on Kopi Luwak project
  3. Working on the 3A assembly kit for genetic recombination

On a side note, after this meeting, the growth for the 3A assembly kit has had some trouble (now fixed) twice.
