Hola!!!! iGEM HOSTOS 2015!

Your team has been approved and you are ready to start the iGEM season!

Before you start:

One of the biggest economic activities in the world is mining, which uphold many countries since mineral exportation generates huge profits that are useful for their economy development. This sounds great and from the mining point of view is perfect making everyone happy, but here is the problem that has not been boarded. Who does this job? The main job is done by miners who crush, dig, and process the minerals for their commercialization. This job exposes them to plenty of dangers like the inhalation of crystalize silica particle expelled in the mine causing a sickness called silicosis, which consists in an inflammation and cicatrization of the lung tissue preventing the proper oxygenation from the air we breathe causing physical disability and eventually death. The implementation of protection of protection by the miners in their working hours is rarely used and they do not care about the risks. to address this problem, we as LICEO_EUGENIO_HOSTOS iGEM created a genetically modified bacterium that upon contact with silica particles produces red luminescence, in order to alert workers of the presence of silica dust in the environment and raise awareness about the risks to which workers are exposed in the mining.

Styling your wiki

You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.

While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.

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!

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!)
