Accomplishments

::85 biobrick parts specified in part registry ::Figure of all parts made and parts tested and known to work—point to picture

What we take away

::What we learned :::Lab techniques: pcr, digestion, microscopy (fluorescence), recombinant dna techniques :::Teamwork: ::::making decisions as a team ::::have efficient meetings (stay on topic, be concise but comprehensive) ::::divide work, have regular team “update” meetings ::::importance of communication among members and with advisors ::::diversity of majors teaches us how to understand and work w/different ppl :::Synthetic biology ::::how to apply engineering concepts to a very complex, living organism ::::advantages: utilize reproductive systems

What we say to future igem

::Learning to work efficiently as a team is important ::Many unexpected problems come up in lab work :::don’t be discouraged by this :::plan enough time for this ::::assemblies gave lots of errors ::::Quikchange often didn’t yield any colonies
