<p>The primary UofC iGEM project for 2007 is to design and build a biomechanical printer; composed of a two dimensional plotter equipped with a red laser, software to translate computer images into instructions for the plotter, and E. coli cells engineered to respond to the laser light. Bacteria are spread in a solid lawn on the plate, or mixed in the media before pouring the plate. The response triggered by this biological circuit is to produce beta agarase, an enzyme which degrades the agar polymer that the cells rest on.</p>

By varying the amount of light exposure each point on the plate receives, we can control the amount of agarase expression, and so the height of the agar gel, at each location. The result is bacterial lithography. In particular, the fine resolution achievable by laser control could allow resolution as high as 10 megapixels per inch, precise enough to target individual cells. </p>

Welcome to the University of Calgary Wiki for the 2007 iGEM Competition

This site presents detailed information about both of our projects. We have two projects that we are entering in this compeition. The first Eco. Lisa is our biological entry, the second Evo Gem is our computational project. The overal theme of our entry this year is designing highly controlled systems that allow for human-bacteria interaction. Full descriptions of each project can be found by using the links to your left.

If there are any questions or comments about the information on this site please contact me at pjadamia@ucalgary.ca.

E. coLisa!
laser shining on bacteria

E. coLisa is our teams main project this year. Our goal is to engineer E. coli so that when we shine a light on them they will relase a protein called agarase. The agarase will then dissolve the agar medium in which the bacteria rest. We want to use this sytem to dissolve images into agar plates and create very high resolution pictures.

Evolutionary computer systems at their finest. Our EvoGEM project is a computer program that evolves combinations of iGEM BioBricks to attain a certain result. Curious? Checkout our evoGEM links to the left for more information.
