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, tweleve 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 of is to allow future teams the access to and documentation of genes, which were previously out of reach. The multitude of new genes we have added not only allows future team to continue with similar goals of harnessing photosynthetic properties, but to allow new and novel research tasks to be performed.
In addition to the above parts which were submitted to the registry, we have also developed other parts that have not been submitted. This includes all the genes necessary to develop chlorophyll biosynthesis within E.coli. Details of all our developed parts can be found below.
