"''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..

Contents

Brown iGEM team

We are looking for team funding for students to take part in the competition over the summer.

Tasks to do

-can somebody add the departments to our faculty sponsors please? you can google for these.
-can somebody link all the students to their usernames please?
-please sign up to write up a section.

Who's doing what

John - writing 2 parts of app.
Brendan - formatting application at end. please start asap, so we can insert the text when finished.
Victoria - overviewing the draft proposal and checking it runs together.
Megan - BDH link

International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition

'Introduction' ---Johncumbers 19:37, 8 March 2006 (EST)john, work in progress
This summer a cross-disciplinary team of Brown students will enter the MIT based iGEM competition. The challenge is to design and implement a genetically engineered machine.

A new field; Synthetic Biology ---Johncumbers 19:37, 8 March 2006 (EST)john, work in progress

Science is constantly in a state of flux and the lines between biology, math, physics and chemistry are continually being redrawn. In the last decade, the life sciences revolution has continued to grow, but a new type of biology is on the horizon, a biology that not only understands how DNA holds the information to construct biological machines; but a biology that calls on other fields and is able to model, design and synthesize these machines from A’s C’s T’s and G’s. This is the new field of Synthetic Biology.

Where engineering meets biology "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)"
