Welcome to the Duke iGEM Wiki

Duke iGEM 2012

Our team is fully aware of it's disadvantages, being smaller than the rest, and holding less funding than the competition. However, these notions motivate each individual on the team rather than discourage us. We know that we will get out of this project, exactly what we put into it. Understanding this notion is why it is not unusual to find our team working 12 hour shifts daily. We are inspired and determined to contribute to the scientific community in a substantial way, utilizing our resources, and setting new standards.
Optogenetics: The hot topic
Optogenetics is the combination of genetic and optical methods to control specific events in targeted cell. In 2010, optogenetics was chosen as the Method of the Year across all fields of science and engineering by the interdisciplinary research journal Nature Methods. At the same time, optogenetics was highlighted in the article on "Breakthroughs of the Decade" in the scientific research journal Science Breakthrough of the Decade.

You should make use of the calendar feature on the wiki and start a lab notebook. This may be looked at by the judges to see how your work progressed throughout the summer. It is a very useful organizational tool as well.
