This is the online lab manual and educational resource for the Genomikon Kit

• We added 31 parts to the Part Registry and characterized all of them.
• We designed a system, Biobytes 2.0, that allows for fast and efficient assembly of plasmids. The Biobyte 2.0 system incorporates unique prefixes and suffixes on the inside of the standard Biobrick suffix and prefix. This system utilizes both ORF parts and linker parts to rapidly assemble complex plasmids.
• Biobytes 2.0 represents a new technical standard that allows for easier and faster construction of plasmids from Biobyte 2.0 parts and also allows the production of Biobytes from Biobricks by using PCR.
• The Biobyte 2.0 method was used to create multiple functional plasmids that were transformed into E. coli.
• We participated in many of the surveys that were sent by the other iGEM teams.
• Our iGEM team participated in aGEM where our team, along with the University of Calgary and University of Lethbridge went over each others projects and helped to focus each team's projects on each team's strengths.

Listing out how this fufills the judging criteria?

(going by last year's example? [1])

Plus the special/area prizes

The requirements to earn a Gold are:

1. Register the team, have a great summer, and have fun attending the Jamboree.
2. Successfully complete and submit a Project Summary form.
3. Create and share a Description of the team's project via the iGEM wiki (see TUDelft 2008 for a great example).
4. Present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree (watch the Heidelberg 2008 video for a great example).
5. Enter information detailing at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device in the Registry of Parts
6. Submit DNA for at least one new BioBrick Part or Device to the Registry of Parts.
7. Demonstrate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected.
8. Characterize the operation of at least one new BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information on the Parts or Device page via the Registry of Parts (see [http://parts.mit.edu/registry/index.php/Part:BBa_F2620 BBa_F2620] for an exemplar).

    • • AND/OR
11. Develop and document a new technical standard that supports the (i) design of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (ii) construction of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (iii) characterization of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (iv) analysis, modeling, and simulation of BioBrick Parts or Devices, or (v) sharing BioBrick Parts or Devices, either via physical DNA or as information via the internet.
    • • AND/OR
12. Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project, such as safety, security, ethics, or ownership, sharing, and innovation.
