Description
We want to design a biosensor capable of detecting and reacting to any DNA sequence by
using the dCas9 and T7 polymerase coupled system. Currently we have devised two possible
schemes for its appliance: cancer detection and prevention as well as biotic control. Our
first envision on the biosensor is using it to detect the fusion gene EML4-ALK and produce
signals, allowing efficient diagnoses of lung cancer.
The second envision is enabling our biosensor to spot potentially dangerous experimental
cells and initiate cell self-killing process when the cells escape its original habitat.
This could build a much safer experimental environment. Our detection system is promising
because through designing different target sequences for the biosensor it can be applied to
detection of many other types of cancers or genetic diseases.

Styling your wiki
You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.
While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.
Wiki template information
We have created these wiki template pages to help you get started and to help you think about how your team will be evaluated. You can find a list of all the pages tied to awards here at the Pages for awards link. You must edit these pages to be evaluated for medals and awards, but ultimately the design, layout, style and all other elements of your team wiki is up to you!
