'Introduction' ---Johncumbers 19:37, 8 March 2006 (EST)john, work in progress
"Can simple biological systems be built from standard, interchangeable parts and operated in living cells? Or, is biology simply too complicated to be engineered in this way?(1)" The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is designed to answer this question. The challenge is to design and implement a machine capable of performing an engineered task, but in this case, the machines are transcribed from DNA sequences and the parts are proteins and peptides. This interdisciplinary project bridges fields from biology through engineerin and computer science and demonstrates how the future of science is a cross disciplinary field. yadiyadiyada..
