@shakirah is reaching out on behalf of our team MAKERERE_iGEM 2023 (Uganda) through to RECLONE to explore the possibility of collaborating regarding a pivotal component of their project for the upcoming iGEM competition.
They are in the midst of their lab work and have identified a need for expert assistance in the cloning of specific genes into a plasmid, followed by transformation into E.coli cells and optimization of their expression.
They were eager to inquire whether anyone within the Reclone Community would be open to assisting them in this venture.
Project Overview:
- Objective: Develop a biosensor to detect pyrene and phenanthrene in water.
- Genes of Interest: To be shipped to your lab
- Desired Outcome: Successful cloning, transformation, and optimized expression of the genes for the purposes of detection of pyrene and phenanthrene.
They deeply value the potential collaboration and are committed to ensuring that those who are able to help them will receive the appropriate acknowledgment for their contribution during the iGEM competition. Furthermore, this partnership could also open doors to further research collaborations and strengthen the bond between RECLONE and their institution.
The iGEM competition is a significant platform, and with the help of the Reclone, they believe their project can make a meaningful impact.
Warm regards,
