Revision as of 05:57, 13 October 2008

Welcome to HKUSTers team Wiki for iGEM 2008

iGEM is the international genetically engineered machines competition.
The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA.
To see examples of the amazing possibilities of iGEM, check out last years iGEM page

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

New Semester started and the meeting time and place changed to every Saturday 2-4p.m.
Anyone cannot attend the meeting, plz email us one day before the meeting.

Project Description

The HKUSTers’ project is composed of three components; (1) a Randomizer with one of the two possible random outputs at a single cell level, (2) a Memorizer that specifically records the last input and compares it with the current input to give out an XOR calculation, while the input before the last is erased, and (3) a Spatial Oscillator that facilitates autonomous back and forth migration of cells responding to two opposing chemical gradients...
