| − | < | + | <p> |
| − | + | As mentioned in the <a target="_blank" href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:DTU-Denmark/Description">project description</a>, filamentous fungi are important producers of proteins and biological compounds in industry. Although they are very important, filamentous fungi are heavily underrepresented in the iGEM competition. We think this is very unfortunate, and therefore we developed the tools to fill this gap.<br> | |
| − | + | At DTU we are specialists in using filamentous fungi as a chassis in synthetic biology and we have shared this knowledge on this wiki. Our efforts include: | |
| − | + | <ul> | |
| − | + | <li>A <a href=”https://2019.igem.org/Team:DTU-Denmark/Parts | |
| − | + | ” target=”_blank”>promoter library</a> | |

| − | < | + | Inspired by the lack of accessibility of fungal parts, the team decided to strive towards making the entire project take a LEAP towards accessibility. |
| − | + | In addition to making our library and software available to others, we wanted to make science and synthetic biology more accessible to the public by attending events and talking about synthetic biology.<br> | |
| − | + | Even our wiki is designed to be accessible to everyone. This is why we translated our front page and description into several different languages and furthermore followed multiple best practices for accessibility for blind people and the visually impared, including the one from Dansk Blindesamfund’s (Danish Society of Blind People). Their TIBS guide to accessibility for blind people and the visually impaired, can be found <a href="https://blind.dk/udgivelser/tibs-tilgaengelighed-blinde-svagsynede" target="_blank">here</a>, (accessed: 18. October 2019). | |
| − | < | + | With this in mind, we added specific descriptions for all images on the wiki in order for reading software to be able to tell what is on the pictures. |
| + | We additionally added contrasts between text and background to enable people with different eye diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa to read the text. | ||
| + | Moreover, the color scheme on the wiki is designed to as far as possible not have green/red contrasts as these are among the most common types of color blindness[1]. | ||

| + | <h2>Danish iGEM Network</h2> | ||
| + | <p>Inspired by a presentation by <a target="_blank" href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:Stockholm">iGEM Stockholm</a> at the Nordic iGEM conference, we have worked with <a target="_blank" href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:UCopenhagen">UCopenhagen</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:SDU-Denmark">SDU-Denmark</a> to start a network between the danish iGEM teams as well. The ultimate goal with the Danish iGEM Network is to improve the efforts of danish iGEM teams in the iGEM competition. | ||
| + | We expect this network to take many forms but mainly as a platform for collaborations between danish iGEM teams, enabling a greater ability for teams to coordinate for big events like the Folkemøde (People’s meeting), where prominent politicians, scientists, and companies celebrate the Danish community and democracy. In 2019, the SDU team was present at the People’s meeting and saw great opportunities in talking about GMOs to the public as the audience was engaged and interested. | ||
| + | In the future, we also want to use the Danish iGEM Network to establish more iGEM teams in Denmark as there are currently three universities offering biotechnology/molecular biology degrees but do not have iGEM teams (AAU, AU, and RUC). | ||

In determining how our project can make the world a better place, we looked to the The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). | |

| + | <p>Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth. | ||
| + | This goal focuses on economic development, measured by the growth of GDP, education, and financial institutions. We specifically focus on goal 8.2, in that we can improve the economic productivity of fermentation by using our promoter library to conduct metabolic engineering in an important production organism, <i>Aspergillus niger</i>. Furthermore, as our research is accessible, it invites others to build upon a solid biotechnological foundation and spearhead new innovation in ever-increasing markets. | ||

| − | + | Goal 9: Industry, innovation, and infrastructure. | |
| − | < | + | This goal is focused on the development of sustainable industry and infrastructure, especially in developing countries. In this regard, our project has a lot to offer. |
| + | Goal 9.4 revolves around the addition of value without a large increase in CO<sub>2</sub> output and the use of our promoter library, as well as other biotechnological tools, allows for tighter control over the production of many important products where resource efficiency is a key aspect. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | In addition to this, we are also working towards goal 9.5 by contributing to the ability of other scientists to efficiently conduct research in filamentous fungi and by providing the foundation for others to build novel and innovative solutions in their community using filamentous fungi. | ||

Human Practices
The creation of a library of promoters may not be very applicable in the everyday life of most people, but the library can certainly have a great impact on many people’s lives as well as contributing to several of UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Hej louise :D
Human Practices
As mentioned in the project description, filamentous fungi are important producers of proteins and biological compounds in industry. Although they are very important, filamentous fungi are heavily underrepresented in the iGEM competition. We think this is very unfortunate, and therefore we developed the tools to fill this gap.
At DTU we are specialists in using filamentous fungi as a chassis in synthetic biology and we have shared this knowledge on this wiki. Our efforts include:
- A promoter library
- Auxotrophic selection marker for Aspergillus spp.
- Homology regions for genomic integration in Aspergillus niger
- Protocols for growing, protoplasting, and transforming filamentous fungi.
- Notes on growing filamentous fungi in larger equipment like Biolector, shake flasks, and bioreactors.
Integrated Human Practices
This page is only the non-integrated part of our human practices page. Click here to get to the integrated human practices page.
Accessibility
Inspired by the lack of accessibility of fungal parts, the team decided to strive towards making the entire project take a LEAP towards accessibility.
In addition to making our library and software available to others, we wanted to make science and synthetic biology more accessible to the public by attending events and talking about synthetic biology.
Even our wiki is designed to be accessible to everyone. This is why we translated our front page and description into several different languages and furthermore followed multiple best practices for accessibility for blind people and the visually impared, including the one from Dansk Blindesamfund’s (Danish Society of Blind People). Their TIBS guide to accessibility for blind people and the visually impaired, can be found here, (accessed: 18. October 2019).
With this in mind, we added specific descriptions for all images on the wiki in order for reading software to be able to tell what is on the pictures.
We additionally added contrasts between text and background to enable people with different eye diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa to read the text.
Moreover, the color scheme on the wiki is designed to as far as possible not have green/red contrasts as these are among the most common types of color blindness[1].
Danish iGEM Network
Inspired by a presentation by iGEM Stockholm at the Nordic iGEM conference, we have worked with UCopenhagen and SDU-Denmark to start a network between the danish iGEM teams as well. The ultimate goal with the Danish iGEM Network is to improve the efforts of danish iGEM teams in the iGEM competition. We expect this network to take many forms but mainly as a platform for collaborations between danish iGEM teams, enabling a greater ability for teams to coordinate for big events like the Folkemøde (People’s meeting), where prominent politicians, scientists, and companies celebrate the Danish community and democracy. In 2019, the SDU team was present at the People’s meeting and saw great opportunities in talking about GMOs to the public as the audience was engaged and interested. In the future, we also want to use the Danish iGEM Network to establish more iGEM teams in Denmark as there are currently three universities offering biotechnology/molecular biology degrees but do not have iGEM teams (AAU, AU, and RUC).
We have also looked at how our project will influence the world as a whole and how we can use it to make it a better place. One could think that the creation of a library of promoters may not have a big influence, but our library can certainly have a great impact in many different ways. In determining how our project can make the world a better place, we looked to the The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have identified 5 main goals that our project contributes to. We call these our primary SDGs. Following this, we have further 3 goals that are affected by our efforts in the primary goals.
Primary goals
Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth.
This goal focuses on economic development, measured by the growth of GDP, education, and financial institutions. We specifically focus on goal 8.2, in that we can improve the economic productivity of fermentation by using our promoter library to conduct metabolic engineering in an important production organism, Aspergillus niger. Furthermore, as our research is accessible, it invites others to build upon a solid biotechnological foundation and spearhead new innovation in ever-increasing markets.
Goal 9: Industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
This goal is focused on the development of sustainable industry and infrastructure, especially in developing countries. In this regard, our project has a lot to offer.
Goal 9.4 revolves around the addition of value without a large increase in CO2 output and the use of our promoter library, as well as other biotechnological tools, allows for tighter control over the production of many important products where resource efficiency is a key aspect.
In addition to this, we are also working towards goal 9.5 by contributing to the ability of other scientists to efficiently conduct research in filamentous fungi and by providing the foundation for others to build novel and innovative solutions in their community using filamentous fungi.
Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production.
This development goal is centered around the minimization of waste products and material used in addition to increasing recycling.
We are specifically focusing on goal 12.2 and 12.5 through the improvement of fermentation resource efficiency by offering tighter control over the metabolism of the filamentous fungus used. Furthermore, our promoter library enables others to develop more efficient ways of using waste products in industrial fermentations by giving them the basic tools needed for more advanced biotechnological research.
Goal 15: Life on land.
This development goal focuses on the protection, restoration, and sustainable management of terrestrial resources and we are focusing on a subsection of 15.6, concerning itself with the sharing of genetic resources and the ease of access to these. By publishing our findings on our wiki, we make sure that everyone has equal access to our methods and results.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals.
The partnerships for the completion of the sustainable development goals are important for the realization of these most important tasks of our generation. With our participation in the iGEM competition, we are doing our part in achieving goal 17.6, 17.7, and 17.8, collectively known as the technology goals.
Secondary goals
The secondary goals are not directly affected by our project, but our promoter library can be used by others to improve the world in amazing ways.
Goal 3: Good health and well-being.
The introduction of tighter metabolic control in the use of filamentous fungi could allow for higher production, which in turn would hopefully translate into lower prices and wider distribution of important products. This includes both industrial products and biopharmaceuticals which are in high demand everywhere in the world.[3]
Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy.
The addition to new and improved tools in biotechnology our promoters could be used to improve the production of biofuels which are essential in the sustainable development of the energy production of the future.
Goal 14: Life below water.
The marine environment is highly susceptible to the pollution of heavy industry. Biotechnology offers multiple ways to minimize this pollution by e.g. shifting traditional chemical processes towards production in biological organisms. The use of genetic engineering allows for production to reach the highest yields possible and this project has the potential to influence many more aspects of the world as we learn to harness the innate potential of the biological resources available to us.
