Protocol of the iGEM meeting, 2005-08-04, 17:30, ETL E12
The following persons were present
Eckart Zitzler, Giorgia Valsesia, Dominic Frutiger, Urs A. Müller, Herve Vanderschuren, Christophe Dessimoz, Jonas Nart, Simon Barkow, Robin Künzler
Aim of the meeting:
focusing, plan and prepare an intensive discussion for next week
Course of action:
- Presentation of project ideas
- Discussion of project ideas
- Form groups for further discussion until next Thursday
Project Discussion
Here is a list of the projects we discussed. For further information on the projects please read the information you can find on the wiki. Only additional comments made during the meeting are provided here.
- Buffer Bacteria
No further comments were made.
- Predator / Prey
This was presented by Georgia.
Comment: The behaviour of the bacteria is not very much like the typical predator / prey behaviour. Maybe it's more like a 'competition'.
- Constructor Bacteria
This was presented by Dominic.
Comment: The use of this project could be the enclosure of harmful substances, 3D-Litography or the 'construction of hills'.
- Swiss Watch
This was presented by Urs.
Comment: There is no synchronous cell division. It would be interesting to have different colours for different cell generations.
- Oscillation Counter
Comment: In this project, we could build standard parts.
- Random Number Generator
Comment: This idea won't be pursued further.
- Linear Amplifier
Comment: This idea won't be pursued further.
- Generation Counter
No further comments were made.
- Edge Detection
This idea was not discussed.
- Sorting Bacteria
Comment: This idea could be merged with the 'Constructor Bacteria'-idea.
- Pulser
Comment: This idea has to be checked for feasibility.
Conclusions and Groups
We saw that it was too early to choose a project and agreed to form 3 groups to check the following aspects of the project ideas:
- coolness
- usefulness
- modularity
- feasibility (conceptual and building block availability)
The groups should find ideas for implementation and list positive and negative aspects of the projects.
The project ideas were divided in four cathegories (see main wiki page). To each cathegory there were some people assigned to lead the discussion during the next week. The group meetings will be announced in the mailing list.
