Editing the wiki

This website runs what is known a wiki. You may be familiar with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia, which has grown into an enormously useful resource by virtue of the fact that anyone is allowed to edit it. Similarly, anyone--from any iGEM team--can edit pages on this wiki. In particular, you can and should edit pages here. We can use this wiki to plan and coordinate our project.

Here's how to get started:

  • Bookmark our main iGEM wiki page at http://2006.igem.org/Boston_University_2006
  • If you haven't already, go to http://igem.org to get an account. You will be able to log in after you are approved.
  • Log in.
  • Visit BU Team Members (open the link in another tab or window) and notice the tab labeled 'edit' at the top. Click it.
  • Add your full name next to your email address
  • Add a description of the change you just made in the line at the bottom that says 'Summary'
  • Click 'Show preview' and see whether you like the look of your changes. (If you need to make additional changes, you can make them at the bottom of the preview page)
  • Click 'Save page' when you are done.

Downloading and interpreting papers

E. coli resources

Sequence management

Lab protocols

Logistics

ordering supplies, et cetera.

Reading material

Most of you have The Molecular Biology of the Cell from BE209. Another book I recommend is Genes and Signals by Ptashne and Gann.
