The 2013 Macquarie iGEM team have continued the expansion of iGEM’s gene registry, adding a suite of genes integral to the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway. We have designed BioBrick versions of 13 genes, twelve of which have been assembled. Nine of these assembled BioBricks have been sequenced to confirm fidelity to design and sent to iGEM headquarters, while we await the sequence confirmation of a further three. One final BioBrick is currently under construction.
Our intention is to provide future teams with access to our designed genes and their documentation, which was previously out of reach. The multitude of new genes we have added not only allows future teams to continue with similar goals of harnessing photosynthetic properties, but to allow new and novel research tasks to be performed.
