| <p>Unfortunately, given the cutting-edge work into enzymatic DNA synthesis, there are many patents surrounding TdT and its variants, which prevents us from using this as a protein candidate in our frugal (off-patent) enzyme collection, but we made sure to keep an eye on this area of synthetic biology, should the opportunity eventually appear for us to add this enzyme to our repertoire. </p></li> | | <p>Unfortunately, given the cutting-edge work into enzymatic DNA synthesis, there are many patents surrounding TdT and its variants, which prevents us from using this as a protein candidate in our frugal (off-patent) enzyme collection, but we made sure to keep an eye on this area of synthetic biology, should the opportunity eventually appear for us to add this enzyme to our repertoire. </p></li> |

− | <p>On Aug 17th, we were thrilled to meet with another international team like ours, TKS International. We shared ideas about each other’s projects. We were drawn to this team as they shared our global spirit and we had hoped to learn with them about how to run such a global team effectively and efficiently. Their project had a unique and novel approach to using biofertilizer by using the E.coli NIF gene. We discussed challenges in setting up an international team and learnt about how they managed to bridge their communication across time zones. They informed us about FriendTime, a very useful Discord bot that has come in very handy to organise a lot of our sub-team meetings via Discord itself, since our main virtual space of communication is Discord. We shared with them the knowledge of the Work Breakdown structure and Project Management that we gained from Kahlil, our advisor. However, we recently found out that the team has withdrawn from the iGEM 2021 competition. Despite this, we hope to continue engaging with this group, as we too plan to continue our work even after iGEM. </p> | + | <p>On Aug 17th, we were thrilled to meet with another international team like ours, TKS International.

One of the mentoring sessions they did was using a tutorial created by them for the Friendzymes Toolkit (check our <a href=”https://2021.igem.org/Team:Open_Science_Global/Software”>Software</a> page for more details) to help optimize the UTPrimers' circuitry. With this, it was also possible to demonstrate that the tutorial can be useful beyond Friendzymes!</p></li> | | <p>During this iGEM season, our team members Giovanna Maklouf and Isaac Guerreiro mentored the UTPrimers team.
