− | The biological side of the project involved fairly standard, routine transformations with fluorescent proteins in order to test our equipment. <i>Marchantia</i>, the transformed plant we imaged, is a common weed which poses no threat to humans. However, we were kindly supplied with pre-transformed GFP-expressing <i>Marchantia</i>, and were not required to carry out any of our own transformations using <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i>. As part of our collaborations, we performed transformations of <i>E. coli</i> provided by the William and Mary iGEM team. This was done following the same protocol they used and with standard safety procedures.
