Small discussion + Whats next
Week 1 - Thursday August 1st
With the break between semesters over, the Macquarie iGEM team returned to classes; for many of us this was the first day of iGEM 2013. We had our first meeting and discussed our project. Dr. Louise Brown and Associate Professor Rob Willows were introduced to the team and we began to determine who would take on certain roles within the team.
We eagerly began our project, deciding to use Gibson Assembly to produce our optimised genes. We had decided to develop BioBricks necessary for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll within E.coli. To do this, we constructed a gene pathway, containing 12 genes to reach our goal of chlorophyll biosynthesis.
Week 2 - Thursday August 8th
