Parts

Here, we present the parts we have created and, for most of them, validated during the course of this project. The main parts have been tested in multiple contexts (acellular, in liposome, in liposome in contact with cancer cells). While these were not designed to be a true collection, they offer a good basis to develop system biology approach using liposome.

To construct our parts, we used different approaches. Most gBlocks were designed on benchling and synthesized by IDT (which allowed us to obtain codon-optimized sequences for Escherichia coli), We got the other parts through PCR amplification, using instructions provided by another research team (you can find more details on the material page and in the wet lab results). The parts were then built in the desired vector by In-Fusion assembly.

Here is a summary table of all the parts iGEM Toulouse INSA-UPS 2023 designed this year. Key information is added such as length, the current status (works, failed, successful cloning, or in progress), and RFC compliance (parts with "*" cannot be associated with a RFC according to restriction site rules. Nonetheless, each individual element constituting these parts can be associated with at least one RFC).
