Introduction

  • International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) is a student-led competition to build the most innovative "machine" by synthetic biology.
  • Headquarters is located at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
  • In 2006, 38 schools and over 400 students from around the world are participating in projects to construct biologically engineered systems.
  • Task of each team is to apply engineering methodology to design and develop a new biological system ("machine") through the use of existing and/or newly formed microscopic biological parts (termed BioBricks).
  • Type of the "machine" is chosen by each individual school participating, and the only criterion is that the "machine" be made entirely of the functional units of DNA called BioBricks.
  • A registry of all BioBricks is kept in the MIT Registry of Standard Biological Parts, which is regularly updated to include new parts developed by teams.
  • Parts for each iGEM team are obtained through the Registry for a fee.
  • Jamboree for students to present their projects will take place at MIT in November.
  1. Overview of project(s), including schematics and figures
  2. Ongoing data/updates about project(s), including schematics, figures, test data, and biobrick parts used
  3. Some photos of your team, facilities, institution, etc.
  4. Optionally, anything that broadcasts your team's personality, spirit, sense of fun, or coolness...
