Team:Exeter/Introduction

iGEM is a worldwide 'International Genetically Engineered Machine' competition for undergraduate students. Each team must design and engineer a novel 'genetic machine' using many different elements of synthetic biology and present their project findings at a jamboree held each year for all entrants.
