We are now recruiting another great team to step into the shoes of the creators of T007, AROMA and CATE. Apply now for the ETH iGEM team 2020 and spread the word: https://t.co/fIDgW4tkdy #igem2020 @ETH_BSSE

Thank you @Novartis for supporting our project! We have another small question: can we come check out your exotic fish aquarium? There is not much to see in this river...

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

What's happening you ask? We made a banner! Come to the Giant Jamboree at the Sheraton Convention Center in Boston from the 1st to the 4th of November to check it out in real life! For more information: https://t.co/BkryNJYolw

Daydreaming of the day our phages will make us rich enough to have a tower taller than yours. Thanks for the sponsoring @Roche, see you at the top!

We then infect the bacteria with the phage and the old tail fiber gene will be switched with the new one in the viral genome by homologous recombination. The new virus then multiplies and assembles itself inside the bacteria. (3/3)

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

Last week we got our first significant result!
Thanks to our recombineering approach, we were able to swap parts of the T7 tailfiber for parts of the T3 tailfiber. Those new phages were then able to infect E. coli ECOR16, a strain that previously could not be killed by T7. (1/3)

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

Our recombineering approach uses the homologous recombination machinery of E. coli cells to insert a DNA sequence from a plasmid into the tail fiber gene in vivo. We first transform a plasmid containing the new T3 binding site codons of the tail fiber gene (red in the figure).

From Miniprep kits to qPCR mixes, @LucernaChem got us covered, thank you for helping us!

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

Last weekend, we participate in #Scientifica19, a fair organized by @ETH and @UZH_en to promote science to the broad public. To make our project understandable to our younger audience, we dedicated the lower part of our poster to them. They seemed to really like our phages!

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

A big thumbs up to @Idorsia for sponsoring us, we are very grateful for your support. Thank you!

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

Many thanks to @ConradCH for their sponsorship which brings us one step closer to the successful implementation of our bioreactor!

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

The number of teams in Switzerland is creeping up, thank you @igem_uzh for organizing the first swiss meetup! We had a great time and really enjoyed hearing @EPFL_iGEM and @igem_uzh team projects and exchanging ideas! Can't wait to see you again in Boston!

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

We put together a short cartoon to explain our project. Let us know what you think!

We are proudly presenting our project’s new logo!

Thanks to the support of @ArborBio and their myTXTL solution we were able to assemble T7 phage in vitro. We obtained 10^10 PFU/μL!! 🍾
We are ready to lyse bacteria.

It took some time to have all of us in the same place at the same time but we finally did it.
Here is the 2019 iGEM team of ETH Zürich!

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

A big thank you to @NCCR_MSE for sponsoring our team this year.

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

Part of our team spent the weekend in Düsseldorf for the german meetup. It was a great opportunity for us to present our project for the first time to other iGEMers, get some feedback and discuss possible collaboration with other teams.
Thanks to @iGEM_HHU for the organization.

[iGEM ETH Zürich @ETH_iGEM]

We are thrilled to participate in the German Meetup in Düsseldorf next weekend and discuss our #iGEM project with other teams! @iGEM_HHU https://t.co/7rBppjXZF2

[iGEM Duesseldorf 2024 @iGEM_HHU]

The registration for this year's German Meetup is open! #germanmeetup Have a look at our specials and schedule!

We are looking forward to all of you! #igem #igem2019 #germanigemmeetup
