Contributions

    All of the lab work shown in the team notebook was done by Shawn and Monique. They also used Clotho and Eugene themselves, with some initial instruction from Jenhan Tao and Ernst Oberortner from the CIDAR lab.

    The team mentors and adviser primarily offered instruction in protocols and troubleshooting guidance for the wet lab work conducted.

    Sonya and Swati, two of the team mentors, taught Shawn and Monique the wet lab protocols and helped them troubleshoot problems with their methods (including PCR, cloning, and gel electrophoresis) throughout the summer. Sonya built the B0032 inverter.

    Evan, the third team mentor, helped Monique run the characterization experiments. Specifically, he ran the flow cytometer as only graduate students and above are allowed to run the instrument. Monique set up the cultures and conducted the characterization experiments under Evan's guidance.

    Traci, the team adviser, oversaw the team's work and experiments throughout the summer. Specifically, she taught Shawn and Monique how to design primers and run MoClo reactions. Traci also taught them some of the protocols they used in their research and helped them troubleshoot some of their PCR and cloning problems. Traci built the B0034 inverter.

    The website template is from our 2011 iGEM team's wiki page (BU Wellesley Software). Traci edited the css file and created the new pages for this year's wiki. It was a full team effort to fill in the various Wiki pages.

Sponsors


    We'd like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous support. Without the support from the following Boston University departments and various industrial companies, we never would have been able to compete in iGEM.

    Thank you very much!
