Itsinda rya Tsinghua-TFL, riyobowe na Porofeseri Pan Junmin, rigizwe n'abanyeshuri 10 bo mu cyiciro cya mbere cya kaminuza n'abakandida 3 ba dogitora bo mu Ishuri ry'Ubumenyi bw'Ubuzima, Kaminuza ya Tsinghua. Iri tsinda rigamije gukoresha uburyo bwo guhindura ibinyabuzima mu buryo bwa “synthetic biology” mu buryo bwa “photosynthetic organics” –umunyu muto, hibandwa ku kubaka uruganda rukora neza cyane rwa Chlamydomonas reinhardtii rutunganya karubone kandi rukora ifumbire (StarChlamy) kugira ngo rutange isoko rishya ry'ibiribwa, bigabanye kwishingikiriza ku butaka buhingwa.

Byongeye kandi, itsinda, riterwa inkunga n'ikigo cya Tsinghua Life Sciences,Protoga ubuzima bw'umuntutech Co., Ltd., irimo gukoresha imiterere itandukanye y'ubufasha itangwa naProtoga Biotech harimo n'inyubako za laboratwari, ibigo bikora, n'ibikoresho byo kwamamaza.

Muri iki gihe, isi ihanganye n'ikibazo gikomeye cy'ubutaka, aho ubuhinzi gakondo bushingiye cyane ku butaka ku bihingwa by'ibiribwa, ibyo bikaba byongera ikibazo cy'inzara gikunze kugaragara bitewe n'ubuke bw'ubutaka buhingwa.

Kugira ngo iki kibazo gikemuke, itsinda rya Tsinghua-TFL ryatanze igisubizo cyabo - kubakaumunyu muto uruganda rukora ibyuma bitunganya karubone nk'isoko nshya y'ibiribwa kugira ngo bigabanye kwishingikiriza ku butaka buhingwa ku bihingwa by'ibiribwa.

Titsinda rye ryibanze ku nzira z’imikorere y’ibinyampeke, intungamubiri ikomeye mu bihingwa, kugira ngo bikore neza ibinyampeke bivuye muumunyu muto no kunoza ubwiza bwayo binyuze mu kongera igipimo cya amylose.

Muri icyo gihe, binyuze mu guhindura ibinyabuzima bya sintetike ku bijyanye n'urumuri n'uruziga rwa Calvin mu nzira ya fotositemu youmunyu muto, byongereye ubushobozi bwo gufata karubone muri photosynthesis, bityo bigatuma habaho uburyo bwiza bwo gukora InyenyeriChlamy.

Ubwo yitabiraga umukino wa nyuma wa 20 w’irushanwa mpuzamahanga ry’imashini zikora imashini zikoresha ibimera (iGEM) i Paris kuva ku ya 2 kugeza ku ya 5 Ugushyingo 2023, itsinda rya Tsinghua-TFL ryahawe igihembo cya Zahabu, "Best Plant Synthetic Biology", na "Best Sustainable Development Ingaruka", bikurura abantu benshi kubera umushinga wabo uhanga udushya n’ubushobozi budasanzwe mu bushakashatsi.

Irushanwa rya iGEM ryabereye abanyeshuri urubuga rwo kwerekana ibyagezweho mu rwego rwa siyansi n'ikoranabuhanga mu buzima, riyobora mu ikoranabuhanga rya genetiki n'ibinyabuzima by'ubukorano. Byongeye kandi, rikubiyemo ubufatanye hagati y'amasomo n'amashami nka imibare, siyansi ya mudasobwa, n'ibarurishamibare, bitanga icyiciro cyiza cyo guhanahana amakuru n'abanyeshuri benshi.

Kuva mu 2007, Ishuri ry’Ubumenyi bw’Ubuzima muri Kaminuza ya Tsinghua ryashishikarije abanyeshuri bo mu cyiciro cya mbere cya kaminuza gushinga amakipe ya iGEM. Mu myaka makumyabiri ishize, abanyeshuri barenga magana abiri bitabiriye iri rushanwa, bagera ku bihembo byinshi. Muri uyu mwaka, Ishuri ry’Ubumenyi bw’Ubuzima ryohereje amakipe abiri, Tsinghua na Tsinghua-TFL, kugira ngo bashakishwe, bashyirweho amakipe, bashyirweho imishinga, bagerageze, kandi bubake wiki. Amaherezo, abanyamuryango 24 bitabiriye bakoranye kugira ngo batange umusaruro ushimishije muri iki gikorwa cy’ubumenyi n’ikoranabuhanga.
