We are an independent iGEM team. This means that we did not have a lab advisor and did everything by ourselves. Moreover, we had no host lab but worked in course labs of the [http://www.bio.uni-freiburg.de/ Department of Biology] and [http://www.bioss.uni-freiburg.de BIOSS], which were empty during the summer break.

In detail, we did all of the following tasks on our own -
We have:

- founded a registered society in order to be allowed to raise donations
- raised money
- purchased lab equipment/ consumables
- poured agar plates, mixed media, autoclaved pipet tips etc.
- found our project idea - the GATE assembly method is truly our own invention. No professor told us what project to choose, what methods to use etc.
- planned the lab work
- done the actual lab work - everything was done by team members of the 2012 iGEM Team - over this summer, we were the only ones to enter "our" lab. No professor, no advisor etc.
- organised public outreach events, write our philosophical essay.
- had contact with the media
- planned our trips to the jamborees (booked flights, busses, hostels etc.)
- worked on our wiki and project movie


We thank the following people/ institutions for their support:

- all the people working at BIOSS that helped us with our problems answered patiently our questions.

- we thank Konrad Müller (Weber Lab) for the SEAP test vector (pKM001).
