<b>7 January 2011</b>
We discovered that the yeast heating project was originally done by an iGEM team from Valencia. If we continue with it, our original contribution would be linking it to a riboswitch, and optimizing the heating mechanism. Addison also suggested optimizing it in E. coli because they grow in denser colonies (it has already been shown not to be lethal in E. coli, but we aren't sure if it produces heat).
Pamphlet printing is cheap, and Rob volunteered to work on the graphic design.
==<b>Colon Cancer Detection</b>==
We've found that cancer cells produce more reactive oxygen species than normal cells.  E. Coli already has detection systems for ROS so  we could couple those detection systems with some sort of report to detect the ROS. Such as GFP for fluorescence, or banana aroma for a little added flavor.
The carbon monoxide project ...
