SynBERC:COG

Welcome to the Construction Optimization Group (COG)!

At the last SynBERC retreat SynBERCers decided that solving the challenge of automated DNA assembly/cloning would be a priority for the center. COG will be tasked with drafting a report for the upcoming NSF visit in March(?) that evaluates current assembly approaches and proposes a path forward. This page is just getting started, please add/edit!

Goals

1. Maintain communication across labs on status of automated assembly projects.
2. Produce a report with evaluation of current assembly approaches and recommendations for going forward.

Meetings

COG:Meeting 1

Agenda:

1. What are the goals for COG? What do people want to get out of meetings?
   • Is something like the report described here a good 6 month goal? Should we be doing something else?
2. How do we want to do de-breifs on projects on-going in the labs?
   • One group each meeting? Short updates from everyone?
3. Meeting frequency?
4. Next steps
