The UW iGEM team is a very interdisciplinary group. Our team members span the three faculties of Science, Mathematics and Engineering and include the programs of Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Mathematical Physics at undergraduate and graduate levels. Our diverse backgrounds bring a wide range of field-specific skills and creative ideas to the iGEM project. iGEM is providing us with the opportunity to become more familiar with the emerging field of synthetic biology in a
 


Our Project
Abstract
- goals

- biological implementation of a fundamental engineering concept, the half-adder - half adder calculates the sum of two 1-bit inputs project - bacterial sensor which responds to two inputs: red light and the chemical tetracycline - input sensors control genetic switches in order to carry out logic functions - output of the half-adder function...green or red fluorescence

Schematic Design of Biological Half-Adder
Project Modelling Construction and Testing Extensions
  • Background information about binary addition and boolean logic
  • Half-adder vs. full-adder designs
  • Biological half-adder implementation

//Modelling

  • Strategy for half-adder construction
  • Testing plan and testing constructs
  • Plan for full-adder
  • Gene design for full adder
