Initial Population of BBCDD

Teams ZJU-China, UCSF, Stanford-Brown, and Bielefeld-Germany collaborated with our team in an effort to see how our promoter characterization standards worked in practice, while also further characterizing the Anderson Promoter Collection (J23100-J23119). Their collaborative efforts taught new and verified many important facets in making data standards: understanding the strict timetables of teams, communicating in a common vocabulary, and learning what components of the characterization process can be standardized. Most importantly, however, this process showed iGEM-er's eagerness to share.
