- Passed all the biosafety tests to work in our VMT lab.
- Simulated the hydrocarbon regulation expression mechanism.
- Realized an interactive way to show our metabolic flux analysis.
- Developed a software tool to find putative interactions for proteins in a new host organism.
- Developed a webservice to provide a part query interface to wiki javascript.
Human Practices
- Came up with a new approach to human practice - The EPAC pyramid.
- Addressed the impacts of the ongoing advances in synthetic biology and the ethical questions concerning these impacts.
- Discussed the ongoing debate about gene patenting and open source.
- Investigated the current perception of synthetic biology in general public.
- Made general public aware of our project.
- Became museum pieces in the Science Centre in Delft.
- Developed an fun and educational iGEM computer game.
