Team:SF Bay Area DIYBio/Attributions

Attributions

The BioSunBlock iGEM team is made possible by the combined efforts of our team of 36+ biohackers and citizen scientists working out of two open community labs in the San Francisco Bay Area: Counter Culture Labs in Oakland, CA and BioCurious in Sunnyvale, CA. The Real Vegan Cheese project is open to collaborators of all skill levels and from all walks of life. We are excited to enter our Real Vegan Cheese project into the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) 2014 competition. We are excited to be part of a larger global community consisting of students and biohackers from over 30 countries! Below are those that made this project a reality.

Thank you for community support DIY Community Our Team Everyone on the team was involved in some capacity. We had weekly, and sometimes bi-weekly team meetings to plan, and experiments throughout the week as schedules allowed. Specific project contributions include: James Wantuck, Philip Wantuck contributed to the discussion around Ethical, Legal, Human, and Safety implications of the project. Patrik D’haesleer, Jay Hanson, helped with the DNA design, including codon optimization, and checking for restriction and protease sites. participated in lab work. Maria and many more helped with the IndieGogo fundraising campaign Jay Hanson, Eric Harness, and Rikke ordered reagents Advait, Patrik, and Maria kept us on track with iGEM deliverables Eric Acker, April, and Maria designed our graphics Eric Harness led a class on Rolling Circle Amplification attended Eric’s hands on class on Rolling Circle Amplification Lorant Toth helped with web layout on the iGEM wiki

Each team must clearly attribute work done by the student team members on this page. The team must distinguish work done by the students from work done by others, including the host labs, advisors, instructors, and individuals not on the team roster.

Can we base our project on a previous one?

Yes! You can have a project based on a previous team, or based on someone else's idea, as long as you state this fact very clearly and give credit for the original project.

Why is this page needed?

The Attribution requirement helps the judges know what you did yourselves and what you had help with. We don't mind if you get help with difficult or complex techniques, but you must report what work your team did and what work was done by others.

For example, you might choose to work with an animal model during your project. Working with animals requires getting a license and applying far in advance to conduct certain experiments in many countries. This is difficult to achieve during the course of a summer, but much easier if you can work with a postdoc or PI who has the right licenses.
