Welcome
Welcome to the Rice [http://icampus.mit.edu/projects/iGem.shtml International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM)] Team Wiki. We are participating in the iGEM Competition for the first time so we are currently building our team. Explore our website or contact us, as we will be constantly updating with the latest developments in the project.

Here's what we'd like to see on your wiki page(s):
- A list of all team members, their roles, and email addresses
- Overview of project(s), including schematics and figures
- Ongoing data/updates about project(s), including schematics, figures, test data, and biobrick parts used
- Some photos of your team, facilities, institution, etc.
- Optionally, anything that broadcasts your team's personality, spirit, sense of fun, or coolness...
