Team:DUT China B/Collaborations
Every important moment
Collaboration
We find help for our team by cooperating and discovering problems that we have neglected in our interactions , in turn, we have helped other teams.
NEFU-China iGEM team
Northeast Forestry University(NEFU) iGEM team has participated iGEM in many years. We communicate with them in the early stage of the project and hope to hear their guidance on our project.
We got in touch with the students of Northeast Forestry University and conducted a video conference to exchange our project ideas and designs online. The students of Northeast Forestry University think that our project is novel, and at the same time, it is proposed that light control is a control method with simple equipment, wireless control and good penetration. It should pay attention to the superiority of light control relative to other control methods. However, at the same time, light pollution and other issues should be considered. During the experimental operation, we should take care to ensure that the light source is unique.
We also put forward opinions on NEFU-China iGEM team. In the early stage of the project, it is proposed that the response of uric acid is an important part of the whole case. A promoter with high sensitivity to uric acid and high sensitivity should be selected, and appropriate leakage should be prevented to prevent it. Excessive rigorousness causes the human microenvironment of normal uric acid, and the uric acid microenvironment should be strictly simulated to make the experimental results more realistic.
CCiC
We participated in the Conference of China iGEMer Community held in Shenzhen in August this year. During the exchange meeting, we exchanged ideas with the team members and listened to their previous guidance on our project. We had the opportunity to communicate with students from Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. They proposed whether it is possible to use different light control to achieve the sorting of different Chlamydomonas, so as to better improve the light-receiving and growth efficiency of Chlamydomonas. After discussing the actual incubator conditions with them, we think it is difficult, but it also stimulated our other ideas: the sorting and enrichment of Chlamydomonas may play a role in the concentration of pollutants in the environmental field, and will act as a carrier in the pollutant adsorption.
Feedback: We went to consult a professor of environmental engineering to understand the application possibilities of Chlamydomonas in the treatment of environmental pollutants.
>FAFU iGEM team
The project theme of the Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University team this year is also the Chlamydomonas, so we have a deeper exchange with them on the project and experimental programs.
1. In the culture of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we listened to the opinion that they placed the algae culture plate separately from the bacteria culture plate, and separated the algae operation space from the microbial operation space, which reduces the chance of infection.
2. They asked us about the light control components. We suggest that the ChR they plan to use is a light-controlled ion channel that does not have a light-controlled expression function. They use a PB-ChR photo-sensitive promoter to promote downstream gene expression, thereby improving the experimental design.
3. In addition, regarding the prediction of the structure and function of Flo1 protein before and after improvement in the project improvement section, we suggest that they can find homologous sequences between large proteins and small proteins, and can compare the functions of these two proteins.
4. Finally, we also exchanged ideas on the construction of the wiki, thanking them for their guidance on our wiki.
CU-iGEM team
We saw the cooperation request of Cairo University in Egypt on the igem official website, and we have a strong interest in their BBA games. We feel that this game can greatly help our public education and help us evaluate our audience the degree of understanding of synthetic biology. Therefore, after seeing this news, we contacted the iGEM team at Cairo University in Egypt for the first time and hoped to reach a cooperation with them. In the mail exchange with Cairo University in Egypt, we learned that they want to understand the shortcomings of this BBA game for improvement, and hope that this game will be accepted by more people. So we brought their BBA games to the classroom, and even brought them to classmates of the software school for revision. After a period of trials, we summarized the usage comments and suggestions, and gave feedback to the campus team at Cairo University of Egypt. At the same time, in order to let the classmates and teachers better understand the rules of the game, we will modify the rules of the game, translate him into Chinese, hope that he can be accepted by more people in China, and also send this related content as an attachment to the campus team at Cairo University in Egypt.
IIT-Madras
We saw a request that they hope someone can translate their little videos about DNA into different languages for dissemination from ITT-Madras on the iGEM website.Language is the basis of communication. China is a country with 5,000 years of excellent language tradition. Therefore, it is very necessary to translate video into Chinese and spread it. Knowledge about synthetic biology should not only be communicated between two igem teams, but should also be spread around the world. This is why we actively contacted the ITE-Madras iGEM team, hoping to make a contribution to their video transmission. We translated the script, through the many discussions of the team members and the help of the instructor, the script was translated into Chinese in line with Chinese reading habits, and video recording was performed. In order to make the video better known to the public, we also put it on different social platforms to achieve a wider spread. In the future, we hope to be able to translate and produce more and better videos about biology for public communication and to promote synthetic biology.
