Cooper Union 2015 iGEM




Welcome to the Cooper Union iGEM 2015 Website!

This summer we worked on an exciting new way to synthesize DNA. Continuing the work of last year's team, we focused on building a device that could turn their theoretical DNA synthesis model into a reality. Since this small device would weave together a strand of DNA, we named it Loomino!

Before you start:

Please read the following pages:

Overview

In order to make this DNA synthesizer a reality, we would approach its construction from two angles. The first would be building the physical device. This device would need to transfer accurate amounts of fluids in a coordinated manner while also having a thermocycling function so the reactions could be carried out at the optimal temperatures. We also sought to design and test better enzymes to be used by this device. Finally, everything is joined together by binding DNA to a glass surface so that our device has a platform to build the DNA molecule

Editing your wiki

On this page you can document your project, introduce your team members, document your progress and share your iGEM experience with the rest of the world!

Click here to edit this page!

See tips on how to edit your wiki on the Template Documentation page.

Templates

This year we have created templates for teams to use freely. More information on how to use and edit the templates can be found on the Template Documentation page.

Tips

This wiki will be your team’s first interaction with the rest of the world, so here are a few tips to help you get started:

  • State your accomplishments! Tell people what you have achieved from the start.
  • Be clear about what you are doing and how you plan to do this.
  • You have a global audience! Consider the different backgrounds that your users come from.
  • Make sure information is easy to find; nothing should be more than 3 clicks away.
  • Avoid using very small fonts and low contrast colors; information should be easy to read.
  • Start documenting your project as early as possible; don’t leave anything to the last minute before the Wiki Freeze. For a complete list of deadlines visit the iGEM 2015 calendar
  • Have lots of fun!

Inspiration

You can also view other team wikis for inspiration! Here are some examples:

Uploading pictures and files

You can upload your pictures and files to the iGEM 2015 server. Remember to keep all your pictures and files within your team's namespace or at least include your team's name in the file name.
When you upload, set the "Destination Filename" to Team:YourOfficialTeamName/NameOfFile.jpg. (If you don't do this, someone else might upload a different file with the same "Destination Filename", and your file would be erased!)
