TODOs
Modeling
- Parts Model the whole System with Sensing, Pop's duplexer and Half adder (Marco and Franz)
- Model whether a different strength of input is necessary for the AND and XOR Gates (Who?)
- Finish modeling the second AND Gate and find a biological way to implement it and write the DNA and order it (Marco and Robert)
Lab
Responsible: Robert for the preparatory experiments, Olga for the assembly and testing of the gates.
- Read the literature on the XOR and AND Gates, check carefully for strains needed and compatibility of the parts (Who?)
- Prepare a protocol for parts assembly (Olga)
- Assembly of the light sensing device from the parts we received from UCSF Voigt's lab (Arthur)
- Assembly of the chemical sensing device (Franz, Dimo, Robert, Marco, Marko, Olga)
Documentation
Responsible: Alexandra for the registry, Franz for the presentation, Arthur for the Wiki.
- enter lab experience report to registry
- restructure the Wiki, identify lacking information and find people who can provide it (Arthur)
- Make a picture of the whole model with te different parts in it (Alexandra)
- Make a drawing of the DNA to have an overview of which parts will be consecutively on the same DNA piece (Alexandra)
- Find promoters for the Pops duplexer (2 promoters in total) (Michael)

First Group Phase (July 20th - August 3rd)
We split up the whole group into two teams to come up with a more detailed "vision" for our two designs:
Group 1 Group 2 Michael Franz Dimo Alexandra Olga Robert Arthur Marco Marko
Project Ideas
During the first group phase, we mainly focus on two designs
- the Meat Monitor (group 1) and
- the Half-adder including an application to pattern recognition (group 2).
Before, we had various different ideas, which can be found here.

The German magazine Spiegel wrote about the iGEM competition on August 14, 2006. The article (in German) can be found [http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,431399,00.html here].
