According to CUHK’s mission statement: CUHK iGEM 2010 team is formed by a group of undergraduates and instructors from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.Our project is to create a brand new biological cryptography system.We harness the incredible adaptability of simple organisms in the tortured environment to make sure that the message stored can be left undisturbed regardless of any environmental changes.
Taking the dream one step closer to industrial reality, the team has developed data proof read/correction and random access modules, in addition to an encryption module, all using site-specific recombination of the inversion type.In essence, the team has transferred information onto DNA, and the encoding method to do this used DNA bases, taking adenosine, thymine,cytosine and guanine to represent numbers 0 to 3.
