The international Genetically Engineered Machine Competition
iGEM Motivation: "Living systems can be considered as a different type of machine-- where genes, proteins, and biomolecules are the moving parts that make useful things happen. The question is, can we manipulate and assemble those parts to perform unique functions in living cells?" |
