From Biofilms to BiofuelThe the better Beavers do something.... The following is plagiarized from someone: iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machines Competition) is a competition organized by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Boston, USA, since 2005 and has become one of the largest international competitions in the field of science. This year 84 teams of undergraduate students compete against each other, and for the first time three teams from Germany join the competition. The project of the Heidelberg team is directed by Prof. Dr. Roland Eils from University of Heidelberg and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). Synthetic Biology is a young field in science, which combines classic gene technology with an engineering approach. Similar to the construction of an airplane, Synthetic Biology uses simple gene building blocks for the construction of new complex systems with distinct functions. These gene building blocks are collected in a database by iGEM and can be used by all participants of the competition. So far, the collection contains more than 1000 gene building blocks, due to the continuous development of new parts over the last years. This summer all teams work on self-developed projects which will then be presented in the beginning of November at the “Jamboree” in Boston. Several prizes in different categories will be awarded. bla bla bla ............ |
