Introduction
International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) is a worldwide competition in synthetic biology which originated at MIT (Cambridge, USA) in 2004. With over 120 teams expected to participate in 2011 the iGEM competition has rapidly consolidated into a major scientific event.
This year Wageningen UR joins the arena for the first time. Our team brings together students from molecular life sciences, biotechnology and bioinformatics to advance the knowledge in cell-to-cell communication. The highlights of our project are delivering the first functional synchronized oscillator to the registry of standard biological parts and introducing Aspergillus as the first fungal chassis.
