Acknowledgment
We would like to thanks all the people who helped us during this long journey:
1. The faculty of Engineering, and its dean Juan Carlos de la Llera, who gave us financial help and the opportunity to expose our project in the INGENIA fair.
2. The faculty of Biology, dean Juan Correa and professors, for having faith in us. The financial support that helped us get all the lab materials and reagents, the organization of the High School Teachers - Frontiers of Biology Seminar and Let’s go to the lab! Human Practices.
3. Both, the faculty of Physics and the faculty of College for giving us financial support.
4. Vanessa Frenkel who gave us advice in the wiki design and made an amazing logo for our project.
5. To David Savage, California Berkeley University, for facilitating the pHnCBS1D plasmid and its sequence. We couldn’t have done this project without it.
6. Javier Xordana’s Lab: for giving us lots of advice on how to handle the Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Especially to Cristian for helping us with the sucrose gradient centrifugation protocol.
7. Patricio Arce’s Lab for giving us the GV3101 Agrobacterium strain and lending us lots of reagents that we didn’t have.
8. To the following professors:
9. A special thank you to all the members of the PSBL for having all the patience of the world and having to put up with 9 undergrads messing the lab all around. For having to answer silly questions for months, hearing us discuss noobies stuff for hours and having to share all the lab materials with us.
You have our eternal thanks!
11. UC_Chile 2012 team: for all the moral support and reassuring us that we were not doing so bad.
12. Veronica Delgado: For saving us at the moment we most needed and proofread of all our wiki. Thanks so much for everything.
13. Professor Rodrigo Gutierrez: for keeping us in our track. Lending us part of his lab.
14. The innovation team from the Federation of Chilean Industry (Sofofa), for organizing with us the Human Practice “Let’s go the lab!”, especially Alvaro Acevedo, Geraldine Picon and Gerardo Leyton.
15. Dr. Francisco Melo because he also helped in the “Let’s go the lab!” organization as Innovation Director in the School, and also two of his team members, Alex Slater and Ignacio Ibarra.
16. Carolina Contreras for helping us to coordinate administrative stuff and making possible the “Let’s go the lab!” Human Practice. For the same reason, we thank Daisy Muñoz.
17. Thanks to Dr. Patricio Arce and Dr. Luis Larrondo to participate in the Human Practice “Let’s go to the lab!” in the conversation with the entrepreneurships.
19. We are also very thankful with Enrique Valdebenito and Julio Cortes for autoclaving all that we needed, Alejandro Rojas for keeping the lab clean and tidy. Giselle Saavedra and Isabel Capitán for facilitating meeting rooms.
20. For helping with “Research”, our game: Rodrigo González who created the mac versions, Ivo Zuffi y Alfonso Cornejo for the webpages and our amazing Beta testers: Ariel Pérez, Benjamín Gálvez, Bernardita Ramírez, Nicolás Morales, Marco Arias, Fernando Altamirano.
