iGEM Toolkits

iGEM teams have started to investigate the possibility to make multiple-gene insert for their project as to bring the cloning project from single gene level to multiple gene level. However, current Biobrick Standard vectors are not designed for multiple-insert cloning. Thus, UW IGEM team decided to research on methods to improve the situation and two "toolkits" were developed as a result.

Gibson Vector Toolkit

As a continuation of last year's UW IGEM project, we created and submitted several plasmid backbones that are Gibson Cloning Friendly a.k.a pGA vectors.

Magnetosome Toolkit

..Alicia will work on it.
