今までのほとんどのパーツは生物由来のものであったため、遺伝子断片を取り出すために由来となる細胞を殺す必要があったが、今回のパーツは人工的に合成したもので、生物由来でないため由来となる細胞が死ぬことはなく、その点の倫理問題は解消される。問題となってくるのは、生体分子と同じ要素によって構成された人工物を細胞内に組み込むという、人工生命に対する扱いであるが、これは合成生物学が今後も長く付き合っていく問題であろう。

Many genetic parts which have been used are got from living things,so in order to get genetic parts, we must kill cells which have genetic parts we want.But genetic parts we used this time were artificially made,so we did not kill cells to get genetic parts.In our way of experiment,ethical problem that living things are killed to get genetic parts dose not happen.Next problem is that in cells  we insert artificial things which have same elements as living things have.As people who study synthetic biology, We must continue to consider about this problem.

Almost all the parts are from creatures so far, as a result, we have to kill the cells when taking the sections of genes out. Because the parts we used are artificially synthesized this time, there’s no need to kill the cells, so that this ethical problem is avoided. The problem is how we should treat the behavior that integrating artifact of the same composition with biomolecules into cells. This is also a problem synthetic biology will face during a long term.

Achievement

Combine wet and dry labs

We have built the Turing Pattern experiment system that “wet lab” methods made sure the “dry lab” results. Creating oscillation is one of the popular themes in iGEM. This time we considered of reaction-diffusion equations and constructed a simulation program which contributed to building more feasible experiment system of Turing Pattern. In addition, we also have applied simulation to RNA Oscillator and have built a construction of gene circuits by RNA and thus we succeeded in characterizing it partially.

Consideration

Our project have implications for the safety and ethics and ownership and sharing. Now we would like to describe them in order.

safety

We have considered and organized the safety, such as the chassis organisms, their risk group and derivation can be checked from this Safety page.

ethics

We have to kill transformed E. coli in order to attain the target plasmid because many BioBrick parts are derived from organisms. However, the BioBrick parts iGEM Kyoto submitted this year are all artifically synthesized. Therefore, the problems of ethics are completely solved. Certainly, treating artificial life has some ethical problems, but this is a considerable and long-term issue closely related to the development of synthetic biology. In our Human Practice project, we carried out an survey on attitude towards bioethics which is closely connected with our iGEM activities. We discussed the results with a professor, who belongs to the Graduate School of Letters, Kyoto University as well. This discussion led us to revise our attitude towards the subsequent approaches of Human Practice project.

ownership and sharing

When we want to share parts coding proteins, we have to construct, amplify and extract target plasmid and send them in a lot of cases. Frankly speaking, this is troublesome. However, BioBrick parts iGEM Kyoto submitted this year are only about a few hundred base pair, and are all synthesized. Just by sharing the information of the sequences, you can get these parts in the same conditions Therefore, we can easily share them compared to other parts coding proteins.

New approach to Human Practice

We have continued our Human Practice activity considering the result of survey held by iGEM Kyoto in 2010. In addition, we revised previous approach and dealed with new one of Human Practice activities.

Support for iGEM Biwako_Nagahama

We have helped iGEM Biwako_Nagahama team to hold study meeting and edit wiki. Please take a look at Cooperation

Criteria

We meet the Gold Criteria!
