[http://igemjapan.net iGEM Japan] is an alliance of Japanese iGEM teams conceived as a platform for enhancing communication and cooperation between teams, as well as collectively promoting iGEM in Japan. We participated in several meetings to discuss the direction, membership and activities of this group. Two of iGEM Japan's major activities this year were the [http://igemjapan.net/meetup iGEM Japan Meet-up] and a comprehensive, nation-wide [http://igemjapan.net/humanpractice Human Practices] survey. | [http://igemjapan.net iGEM Japan] is an alliance of Japanese iGEM teams conceived as a platform for enhancing communication and cooperation between teams, as well as collectively promoting iGEM in Japan.

The iGEM teams of Osaka and Edinburgh encountered similar problems in designing PCR primers incorporating the standard BioBrick Prefix and Suffix. Together, we drafted and submitted a joint proposal for a Request for Comments which was accepted as [http://bbf.openwetware.org/RFC.html#BBF_RFC_54:_Abbreviated_BioBrick_Prefix_and_Suffix_for_More_Efficient_Primer_Design BBF RFC 54]. | The iGEM teams of Osaka and Edinburgh encountered similar problems in designing PCR primers incorporating the standard BioBrick Prefix and Suffix.
