         <p>We used Gibson Assembly exclusively to build our constructs during the competition. This allowed us to do multi-part assemblies faster and with fewer bugs than if we had used standard techniques.</p>
         <p>We contributed to a collection of software tools called <i>Gibthon</i> (initiated by Cambridge iGEM 2010), which aids the design of primers for Gibson assembly.</p>
