This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have a team description page, a project abstract, a complete project description, a lab notebook, and a safety page. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.


You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

'One of the major goals of synthetic biology is to apply engineering principles analogous to traditional engineering disciplines to genetic engineering. A way in which this is achieved is through the use of biobricks that allow for more rapid engineering of synthetic gene networks. These biobricks are often assembled and tested in a bacterial chassis however there remains a shortage of these biobricks optimized to work in eukaryotes. To this end, we are building several biobricks optimized to work in the model organism S. cerevisiae - a simple eukaryote as well as building a novel yeast chassis that will allow for the robust characterization of these biobricks. In addition, we are developing a new protocol that will greatly improve upon the existing assembly protocol for biobricks and allow for rapid integration into S. cerevisiae.'
