In mid-January 2013, students interested on becoming members of the iGEM team UANL 2013 were invited to a four day introductory workshop with the main objective of training them to develop the basic theoretical knowledge for the competition by introducing them to basic Molecular and Synthetic Biology topics, to the tools of Genetic Engineering and to what the competition consists in.


Description


Objectives

To prepare the students from the Genomics Biotechnology Degree that are interested in participate in iGEM in the Colleague Division of mentioned workshop in its version 2013 with introductory topics to molecular biology, engineering, nucleic acids manipulation, biology with data processing and synthetic biology.
To homogenize the interested students knowledge in an easy, clear and precise panorama about the principal laboratory techniques that are used in synthetic biology in order to make them develop the ability to work in the laboratory.
To aid the students with the doubts that can be presented during the workshop in order to increase their interest in molecular and synthetic biology.

The workshop took place in the Biology School School at the UANL, three hours per day. The topics were the following:


Day 1 – January 16
- DNA
- What is DNA?
- Composition of DNA and its properties
- Genomics
- What are genes?
- Genomics organization

Day 2 – January 17
- Proteins
- Function of proteins
- Types of Proteins
- Genetics Egineering
- Characterization through restriction enzymes

Day 3 – January 18
- Synthetic Biology
- BioBricks™ in the Parts Registry
- DNA clonation: How can we obtain multiple copies of a gene?
- A detailed view to the BioBricks™
- Assembly using Building Standards

Day 4 – January 19
- Checking of the iGEM projects
- Project requirements:
Development of ideas
Parts construction
Human Practices
Poster
Wiki
Presentation

By the end of the workshop, besides of acquiring the basic knowledge required for the competition, the students –who come from different generations and disciplines–, had the opportunity to interact and meet their team mates, strengthening their relation and making the project an experience they can fully enjoy.
