Latest revision as of 19:41, 7 July 2010
We need to start capturing what we are doing, and why.
Please use this page as a starting place.
We need an overall description of our project at the overview level as well as the subsections and phases of implementation.
Math Sub-Projects
Counting Permutations
Improving Oligo Assembler We adapted the lancelator (http://gcat.davidson.edu/IGEM06/oligo.html), a program created by Lance Harden as a part of the 2006 iGem team, so that it would execute faster and can handle longer sequences. The old program could only handle sequences of 300 bp or shorter. Also, the more oligos the program broke the sequence into, the longer it took to run, and for 8 or more the run time was simply unreasonable. However, for the sequences it could handle it always finds the optimal oligos to use. Our program allows the user to enter a sequence of any length, and the length does not significantly effect runtime. In addition, we added extra features such as checking for and removing BioBrick restriction sites and adding BioBrick primers. While our program does not always find the optimal oligos, it still does very well which is an acceptable compromise because the runtime is improved so dramatically.

This is a chart of the experimental group in the Paris IGEM 2007 project. I used the formula r=1-10^(.004*T)/2 where r is the recombination rate (how many times Cre makes a cut and a Scar site is formed) and T is the generation time in minutes (How long it takes the cell to divide).

This is a chart of the experimental group in the Paris IGEM 2007 project. I used the formula G=log(1/200)/log(1-r) where r is the recombination rate (how many times Cre makes a cut and a Scar site is formed) and G is the number of generations (or the number of times the cell will need to divide). I am making an assumption here that the initial prey population (the plasmids in the cell) is 200.

Note: All above segments have been optimized and deoptimized using the online Optimizer program.
To create the optimized and deoptimized segments of the Tet A gene we used the sequence that the Optimizer program gave us and put it into the Lancelator a program created by Lance Harden as part of the 2006 iGEM team. After getting the recommended Oligo sequences from the Lancelator, we added necessary "sticky ends" that were compatible with the naturally occurring restriction enzyme sites that we discovered (see Restriction Enzymes below). At this time we have ordered Oligo parts for segments 1 and 2 of the Tet A gene. The Oligos that were ordered can be seen below.

Restriction Enzymes
To insert the annealed Oligo segments that were created we had to digest the Tet A gene using naturally occurring enzyme restriction sites that did not exist in the rest of the gene or in the plasmid (pSBIA2).
