We have proven a sRNA-regulated system of our own to be an effective and competent way for regulating gene expressions.

Recent studies have shown that sRNA-mediated regulation is an important factor to bacterial growth. sRNAs work by base pairing with limited or extended complementary target mRNAs, regulating protein productions. Using sRNA mechanism, we can control gene expression in RNA level, in contrast to common promoters that functions on DNA level. Since the existing sRNAs in Escherishia Coli have important functions in other metabolic processes, we designed an artificial sRNA with high specificity to avoid undesired base binding in vitro.

By using the sRNA-regulated system, red light induced ooperator, and thirty seven degree Celsius ribosome binding site (RBS), we constructed a manipulatable system that is capable of expressing four different genes under different conditions. In other words, it is a multitask machine.

Bringing back wiki the way what it was meant to be

The core value of wiki are the openness and its coeditable property. As people tried to beautify the pages, too often that the wiki becomes merely a work handled by one person. It digresses from the core value of iGEM. Therefore, to bring back its role, we build a system not only more user-friendly and eye-pleasing but also coeditable and smart.

We believe that wiki is a platform for the iGEMers and the future iGEMers. It stands for sharing. It is meant for cooperation. It ought to be a stage that brings people together for knowledge and the value that lies with people.

Utilizing wiki markup language and BioBricks registry

Responsible design that re-layouts for different resolution

Contents in wiki are easily editable

User-friendly functions

Auto-generated menu that powered by wiki system

Following the requirements for iGEM wiki site
