This blog is where we share stories, announcements, and insights from around the iGEM community.
All tagged Measurement
One of the big challenges facing the field of synthetic biology is the ability to obtain reliable and repeatable measurements in different labs – a key component of all engineering disciplines. Over the past several years, iGEMers have been tackling this challenge through the International InterLaboratory (Interlab) Measurement Studies.
The iGEM 2018 Interlab study, which was just published in Nature Communications Biology, presents a cheap and easy protocol for estimating cell count and per-cell fluorescence on plate readers.
The iGEM Measurement Committee is happy to help you learn about the concepts, tools, and resources that are available to iGEM teams. In this post, we address three questions:
What is cloning and gene assembly?
Why is cloning and gene assembly important?
How is cloning and gene assembly done?
