The project team structure can be seen at the Team page. All work has been developed by the undergraduate students of the team. The main role of the instructors has been to give advice through project or subproject meetings, and provide access and space at their labs. Here we show the attributions of the different subprojects:

The miniTn7 BioBrick tool kit subproject has been fully developed by David Caballero, a third-year student of Biotechnology, under the supervision of Fernando Govantes, Associate Professor of Microbiology. All lab-work and design of miniTn7 derivatives has been undergone by this student and periodically debated in UPO-Sevilla team meetings. For more information about the work behind this Foundational Advance project, please read .

The BioBrick Creator software tool has been fully coded by José Gutiérrez, an undergrad on Computer Science, with the help of Aída Moreno, a fifth-year student of Biotechnology. They have been instructed by Associate Professor Antonio J. Pérez, PhD on Bioinformatics and Luis Merino, Associate Professor on Systems Engineering and Automation.

The experiments and characterization of the Basic Flip-Flop have been performed and analyzed by Amalia Martínez, undergraduate student of Biotechnology, under the supervision of Fernando Govantes.

The Spatial Multiagent Simulation of the Basic Flip-Flop, employing the tool NetLogo, has been developed completely by Adrián Arellano, a third-year undergrad student of Biotechnology. He has designed and implemented the interfaces and the code associated with the simulation. He has been instructed by Luis Merino, which contributed with advice in the development of the simulations and discussions on the results.

The development of the Improved Flip-Flop has been carried out by Yolanda Elisabeth González and Félix Reyes, both undergraduate students of Biotechnology, under the instruction of Víctor Álvarez, Assistant Professor in Genetics.

All the lab work, experimental design and analysis in the development of the Epigenetic Flip-Flop has been performed by Paola Gallardo, third-year undergrad on Biotechnology. She has been instructed by Rafael Rodriguez, Associate Professor of Genetics, who has collaborated in the design of the device and has provided further advice.

The Bioinformatics tools and analysis of the the Improved Flip-Flop and the Epigenetic Flip-Flop, as well as the miniTn7 BioBrick Tool have also been performed by Aída Moreno, under the instruction of Antonio J. Pérez.

The Wiki design and code, as well as management, is due to Luis Eduardo Pavón, a Computer Science undergrad, supervised by Luis Merino. He has been also helping in the development of the BioBrick Creator.

The modeling (using MATLAB and MATLAB's Simbiology) and the mathematical analysis of the Basic and Improved Flip-Flops has been carried out by Jesús Jiménez, an undergrad on Mechanical Engineering, with emphasis on Systems Engineering. He has developed the Simbiology models and MATLAB code in full, under the supervision of Manuel Béjar and Luis Merino, Professors on System Engineering and Automation.
