This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have the following information on your wiki:
  • a team description
  • project description
  • safety information (did your team take a safety training course? were you supervised in the lab?)
  • team attribution (who did what part of your project?)
You may also wish to add other page such as:
  • lab notebook
  • sponsor information
  • other information
REMEMBER, keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.
Example: 2013hs.igem.org/Team:Nanjing_NFLS/Our_Pets



You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

CRISPRs (ClusteredRegularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) are DNA loci thatcontain multiple, short, direct repetitions of base sequences,which are often associated with cas genes which code for proteinsthat perform various functions related to CRISPRs. The CRISPR-Cassystem is a novel technique of gene editing, including silencing,enhancing or changing specific genes. By inserting a plasmidcontaining cas genes and specifically designed CRISPRs, theorganism's genome can be cut at any desired location.


Based on the CRISPR-Cassystem, the team plans to design a set of biological machine repairkit including tools to delete and/or replace biobricks in buildingcomplex synthetic biology devices and systems. The proceduresinclude choosing the ideal promoter and terminator withuniversality for knock-in and designing the DNA sequences for adonor plasmid with homogenous arms and guide-RNA, which then aretransfected into the host cells with Cas9. The proof of principlekits will be tested on basic PRCT protein generators with EGFP andRFP as reporters and applied to replace causative genes withnon-causative alleles once with prove validity.
