🧬 Attention iGEM teams!

Are you starting a new project and thinking about biosafety systems? This is a great resource to explore different containment strategies:

📘 Auxotrophy to Xeno-DNA: an exploration of combinatorial mechanisms for a high-fidelity biosafety system for synthetic biology applications

➡️ https://doi.org/10.1186/s13036-018-0105-8

From engineered auxotrophy to xeno-DNA containment, it is full of ideas that could help shape your design and safety planning.

💙 🏅 Gold für das SynBio-Team der #unistuttgart beim diesjährigen #iGEM Wettbewerb👏 💙

iGEM ist so etwas wie die "olympischen Denkspiele" in der synthetischen #Biologie. Die Studierenden aus Stuttgart gingen mit einer selbstentwickelten Bioleaching-Methode ins Rennen. Und das steckt dahinter💡 👇

👉 Bioleaching ist eine alternative und umweltfreundliche Methode, um seltene Metalle z.B. aus gebrauchten Autokatalysatoren zu recyceln. Die Arbeit machen Mikroorganismen.
🤔Aber, die Methode funktioniert bisher nur bei wenigen Metallen, wie z.B. Kupfer.
💁‍♀️Die Studierenden haben ein Bakterium genetisch so verändert, dass es eine Säure produziert, die Metalle wie Palladium, Platin oder Rhodium an sich binden kann. Quasi Recycling mit grüner Chemie.

Dafür gab es eine iGEM-Goldmedaille und eine Spitzenplatzierung in den Top 5 (Kategorie "Best Measurement"). Herzlichen Glückwunsch!👏

I am so mad #iGEM cut out partnership as medal criteria, it was literally the best part of the competition!

I am literally just clicking on everyones profile in our #iGEM twitter feed and looking for #fediverse handles to follow here

This is a great chaper for understanding the genes that cause the hairy-root phenotype. Essential for our #iGEM work

Looking for good starting points for #plastic #digesting #bacteria for an #iGEM project. Any pointers welcome :)

"Besides yielding edible fruits, there are several other useful products available from these fruit trees. However, these plants have not been researched thoroughly for their propagation, cultivation and molecular characterization." Jackfruits are underrated!!

Again from our #twitter

We have so meny new #iGEM team members now!

My brain after 2hrs of #iGEM brainstorming: :crazy:

From our #iGEM twitter:

"Almost one-third of all tree species are threatened with extinction" This is one of the "Best science graphics of 2022" according to #nature. Can #synbio help fight the loss in #biodiversity? This is one of the questions we will tackle in 2023

#introduction time!
Hey, I am Stefan.
Am finishing my studies in molecular biotechnology. Have been working in #bioinformatics after doing synthetic biology in viruses, proteins, and #iGEM. Have been dealing with the uncertainty of doing machine learning for proteins and other cool biological things. I am enjoying the certainty of #Rust as a programming language. On the side I have been happily contributing to #nushell.
