Most detection systems will look for the absolute concentration of a certain molecule. This year, we designed and built a fold-change detector, which is responsive to relative changes in input. Using this method, we can make our detector resistant to background noise, expand dynamic range, and reduce dependence on expensive analysis methods such as flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy.

Efficient tools for synthetic biology are often expensive. This year, we developed a web-based application that intelligently queries the iGEM registry and allows you to construct genes from available parts. This application, called "bricklayer", will also automatically suggest assembly methods, construct primers, and calculate chemical properties of desired DNA.

Our Human Practices team wrote, illustrated, and published a children's book following the adventures of Mr. Cool, a hilariously klutzy scientist who, with the help of his yeast colonies and some clever genetic engineering, can solve all kinds of problems on the microscopic scale. Learn more.
