Team
BVCAPS Research KS is a team of wonderful highschool kids unified in solving science problems through genetic engineering. The members became unified at the excellent Blue Valley CAPS profesional studies center geared towards getting the students real world experience. Once together, they recognized their vast potential, and aimed it at the iGEM competition.
Members:
- Austin Rottinghaus a.k.a. Steady Hands
- Brandon Whitcomb a.k.a. Beast from Butler
- Tim Schaefer a.k.a Schaef-cat Hopkins
- Graham Wehmeyer a.k.a. Green Cali Mojo
- Vivek Menon a.k.a Pokemon Master
Project
Our project is the combination of the MIT and University of Texas team’s projects from years past. We are making a combined genetic circuit with the smell of the bacteria (banana or mint) depends on the time of day (presence of light). The light receptor protein is obtained from photosynthetic algae. The purpose of this problem is to show the integration of two different systems. We took the source of input from one system (light) and matched it with output or another system.

Today we attempted to build a circuit. We also tried to select parts to be used in our biological system, we selected a promoter that functions as coliroid and is named BBa_R0082
Results/Conclusions
What did you achieve over the course of your semester?
Safety
What safety precautions did your team take? Did you take a safety training course? Were you supervised at all times in the lab?
At all times when chemcals were being used:
- Lab coats were on
- Saftey goggles were on
- Gloves were worn
- No flames were ever unattended
- At the end of every day (if bacteria was used) the tables were disinfected.
