wiki details

Wiki freeze icon

The 2010 iGEM wiki will FREEZE on October 27 at 11:59pm EDT. At that time the wiki will be turned off, and no further changes can be made until after the Jamboree. We recommend that you do not wait for the last day to finish editing and uploading information to your wiki. High traffic prior to the freeze has crashed igem.org before, and limited access to the wiki for all teams. In order to avoid a situation like this we ask that all teams finish their wiki in a timely fashion. Plus, it will give you more time to get ready for the Jamboree!

As a reminder, all team wiki data must be hosted on 2010.igem.org . Team wikis on openwetware, university, or independent websites will not be considered in judging. If you are currently using a separate host for your wiki, please move over all information to your team wiki on 2010.igem.org.

show off your team spirit!

iGEM Team Spirit

The 2010 Jamboree is coming up, and although you must be busy with preparations, you should also think about your team spirit. At the Jamboree you will be representing your team, university, and country, so why not show off!

Show your team spirit by designing and wearing your team t-shirts. Try something a little bit different and bring along a team mascot. Get creative and colorful!
