'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 were always supervised by Chris Vulpe (Professor at UC Berkeley), and Nicholas Kapp (Professor at Skyline College).
Although we rarely had lab coats.

Human Practices
What impact does/will your project have on the public?
The impact of this project would include a way to save power. Because the outcome would be organic there would be no need for it to run on batteries or gasoline.
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!
