Our project uses 3 major new technologies: Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE), chip-based synthesis of DNA, and lamba red recombination, along with more traditional bioinformatics. We hope that future iGEM teams will also use these techniques in their own synthetic biology projects. | Our project uses 3 major new technologies: Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE), chip-based synthesis of DNA, and lamba red recombination, along with more traditional bioinformatics.

Overview | MAGE | Chip-Based Synthesis | Lambda Red | Protocols
Our project uses 3 major new technologies: Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE), chip-based synthesis of DNA, and lamba red recombination, along with more traditional bioinformatics. We hope that future iGEM teams will also use these techniques in their own synthetic biology projects.
Bioinformatics
See our Team:Harvard/Project/Bioinformatics bioinformatics page for details on the computer aspects of our technology.
Zinc Finger Binding Site Finder
Check out our Zinc Finger Binding Site Finder Tool here! This tool was used to search the human genome for the six target DNA sequences that we used to design our custom zinc finger arrays.
