Competition Deliverables We designed and submitted our Wiki and Judging Form. We are preparing for Presentation Video. We are also excited about the opportunity to be at the venue for Judging Session! Here is the link to our Promotion Video.
Project Attributions On the attribution page, we summarized each team member's work content and contribution to our project. We also appreciated all those who supported and assisted us with our project. Click here to get our attribution page.
Project Description This year, we designed and proposed Lantern (Programable Logic Framework Based on Recombinase and CRISPR interference) to create programmable genetic circuits within E. coli, allowing for precise control of cellular behaviors across 16 distinct scenarios defined by two inputs and one output. To get more information of our project description, please click here.
Contribution We are implementing a cross-disciplinary project this year, mixing the knowledge from different fields to coordinate them. Since we are constructing a compatible platform this year, we have designed and created modules from wet-lab to dry-lab. Please read more on the Contribution page.

Engineering success We propose a biological programmable logic gate combining modelling and software design. We are fully aware that the standardized engineering cycle (design, build, test, and learn) is even more critical to our cross-disciplinary work, and we followed it strictly and explored it innovatively. We created some new parts and summarized them in our part collection. Read more about the Engineering Success we have reached. And here is Part Collection.
Human practices The human practices page showcases our considerations regarding the application scenarios, advantages, and potential usage risks associated with Lantern. It outlines how we can effectively implement Lantern in practical settings. Learn about our Human Practices for detailed work. For background information and the pros and cons of Lantern, please click Implementation for detailed consideration.

Excellence in Synthetic Biology We consider the parts collection we designed, the software we built, and the models we built and used to be excellent work in synthetic biology and contribute to the iGEM community as well. Please check out our Part collection , Model and Software.

 

After 2024 Grand Jamboree

Our 2024 UCAS-China Team proudly won a silver medal at the 2024 iGEM Grand Jamboree. During the preparation and participation in the jamboree, we realized that our initial wiki lacked clarity in presenting our ideas. Upon returning from Paris, we quickly applied what we had learned, revising and upgrading nearly all pages of our wiki.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone we met through iGEM—especially those who visited our team booth, attended our live stage talk, and judges for our team.

iGEM has given us countless unforgettable moments to cherish. UCAS-China will continue to participate in this extraordinary gathering of synthetic biology. See you next year!
