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. M[ller, Herve Vanderschuren, Christophe Dessimoz, Jonas Nart

Aim of the meeting:

focusing, plan and prepare an intensive discussion for next week

Course of action:

1. Presentation of project ideas
2. Discussion of project ideas
3. 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 found out that it is 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.
