Project Attribution

Our project is a continuation of the CSU iGEM project from 2014, which you can view here. Thank you to all the team members from last year who contributed to this project. Design and research for the project was largely done throughout the 2014 competition season. All of the plasmid construction and running of experiments was completed by members of the 2015 CSU iGEM team.

Wiki Creation

Our wiki design was created by Aidan Ceney and Olivia Smith, members of the 2015 CSU iGEM team. All team members were responsible for creating content for the wiki which was relevant to the work they did in the lab. Thank you to Scott Ogle for photographing our members and editing the photos for the wiki.
