Primers and Oligos designed by students and synthesized by IDT.

CDS7 coding sequence synthesized by Mr. Gene.

Nucleotide sequencing by GENEWIZ.

Unless otherwise noted, all work was performed by students. Any graduate students on the team are pursuing degrees unrelated to the biological sciences.

The iGEM effort could not have happened without generous support and donation from following sponsors:

• Cooper Union Alumnus Stanley Lapidus - Personally donated $5000 to the iGEM team
• New England Bio Labs - Reagents and supplies
• Biomatters ltd - Geneious licenses for all students
• Allan Kuchinsky - Generous donation for registration of a student
• Michael Tsouris - Personally covered over $1000 dollars in registration fees and transportation for multiple students
