This year's project required a new approach to assembling DNA constructs. This need for a fast and efficient assembly standard was filled by BioByte 2.0. As such Biobyte 2.0 represents an innovative step forward from last year's BioByte 1.0.

It utilized iron micro beads to anchor the DNA which allows for the DNA pieces to be added in a controlled sequential manner ensuring the proper orientation and order of parts. This is made possible because of the design of our unique anchor part. When paired with our unique terminal cap part will allow the assembly to be circularized and transformed into E. coli
