W&M iGEM 2014
2014 was the first year that William & Mary competed in iGEM.
The goal of the 2014 project was to create a set of tools that would open up the door to studying calcium dynamics to future teams. Calcium is a crucial signal in many aspects for eukaryotic organisms, including brain development and function; however, creating molecular tools to study calcium dynamics in eukaryotes is extremely difficult. By creating parts to emulate, measure, and record calcium spikes in model prokaryotes, the 2014 W&M iGEM team hoped to pave the way for future teams to build genetic circuits for eukaryotic systems.
