Be disturbed!Promoter Maps
We collected hundreds of definitions of synthetic biology from the UBC community. These definitions were sorted by field/occupation as well as level of education in order to synthesize these promoter maps. Each promoter map consists of words arranged from highest to lowest frequency (with implemented cut-off points), representing the prevalent ideas in our community's awareness of synthetic biology!
