Parts
We added information to two parts in the registry:
http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2486108.
http://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2577001.
Both parts encodes Dermaseptins, a type of Antimicrobial Peptide (AMP) derived from frogs. We included information from the literature for use and biology of the parts.
How to fund
Funding is a challenge for all iGEM teams, but for teams from developing countries, it's a challenge even harder to complete. That is why the SynFronteras Team elaborated a report that can help teams who are struggling with this topic or may be a little lost on how to begin. You can find the document here.
Cell Lysis Mechanisms Table
In the partnership with team FCB-UANL, we created a table of potential cell lysis mechanisms for Bacillus subtilis. This table can be used by future teams that want to work with this chassis. You can access the table here.
Software
We chose to work with a ToeHold RNA Switch in our project, but the available platforms for the Toehold's design did not cover all the aspects necessary for us. That's why we created the python-based Carpincho Tool Toehold Designer to design our Toehold Switches based on thermodynamic values using the NUPACK package (check here).
